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..?

Irrational element leather footwear

Does anyone have experience with Irrational element and their footwear. I'm interested in their Artist shoes, but not sure about the quality. At least they are advertised as goodyear welted. I'm also open to any alternatives. For example paraboot photon looks similar.
