How to cope with "weird" music taste (rant?)
I always feel like a boomer, because of my music taste.
I have a "stupid" fixation with late 90s to early 00s trance/prog house. I have tried to get into modern stuff with no luck. It just does not sound the same!!! Funnily enough I actually started to listen to electronic music as a teenager starting in 2010ish and actually started with mainstream stuff (David Guetta, (Modern) Tiesto, etc...). Gradually I started to listen older and older stuff. 1998 - 2003 is probably my "sweet spot". I was born 1996 so basically the golden era went by when I was a toddler and had no interest in electronic music.
I want enjoy music but I can't. To be honest because of that I quite often it feel sad and depressed because I will never experience the electronic music as it was in 90s-00s and I know modern stuff will never sound like that. Because of that feeling I often just stop listening to music, because I know when I start listening to the music (I actually enjoy) I will get the same sad/depressed feeling again
Sometimes I have been so fedup with current electronic music that I was low-key thinking like "fuck do I really have to start producing my own music with the sound I like". Sadly I don't have instruments or have musical background :D
I don't want to be one of those guys that says "I was born in the wrong generation". I'm sure I'm not the only one who have or has the same feeling. I have no idea how to cope with this and what to do...
Rant over..?
