Speaker 1 (00:00):
Apparently as people age, their musical preferences become more specific,
which I don't know if I agree with this, but
analyzing fifteen years of data from over forty thousand music fans,
researchers found look at that transition.

Speaker 2 (00:14):
I mean, this is a ward winning transition coming from
up today. Yes, oh you know, I got.

Speaker 1 (00:19):
On my way in I looked on well you know what,
Kayle and I were in the elevator together and this
was on that little screen in the elevator chapter eight y. Yeah,
that's exactly it. I don't do any preparation for this issue.
Like in the elevator, I'm like, well, it's gonna be
seventy eight today.

Speaker 2 (00:32):
I got that. Here's the time.

Speaker 1 (00:34):
Yeah, on my hand, it's a little blurry now because
my hands is ready. But yeah, no, and then I
what I see today. Oasis has had a big impact,
a big increase in downloads because they're on tour. I'm
not you have your heard that they're touring stadiums across.

Speaker 2 (00:47):
The vasan Charlotte. It's the most popular name named after
a city.

Speaker 1 (00:52):
Yeah, yeah, everybody. Paddle of the Sexes is next. No,
that was a transition. It was good and went from
talking about music to music forty thousand music fans they ask.
Researchers found that younger people explore a wide range of
music genres and artists. However, as they transition into adulthood
and beyond, their music choice is narrow, often influenced by

(01:13):
nostalgia and personal experience, as older listeners tend to revisit
songs from their youth while also engaging with new music,
leading to a more individualized taste. The shift poses challenges
from music recommendation services, which may need to tailor suggestions
to different age groups. There's a better religing there, evolving preferences.
Get lit emotional about that.

Speaker 2 (01:34):
Can I ask who's not a music fan? Like they
asked forty thousand music fans. He's like, no, I'm good,
I don't like music. Yeah, like what, Yeah, there were
a lot of people who's walk right by. I don't
like that.

Speaker 1 (01:45):
Yeah, I'm not familiar with it. But do you feel
like eighty five, five, five, nine, one, one oh three
to five? You can context the same number. I mean, look,
we've been talking about this for years and years in
and I do believe that nostalgia plays such a huge
role in certain phases in life. People remember songs and
attach themselves to songs, and I would imagine a lot
of people's favorite songs are from certain like your favorite

(02:07):
song key, if you had to name one that's not
O Marion. Okay, currently, I've been writing to work every
day listening to Nelly e I.

Speaker 2 (02:15):
Okay, so that song probably reminds you of high school? Yeah?

Speaker 1 (02:20):
Yeah, okay, so you and that reminds me of college.
I can remember where I was when I heard that song.
I can remember where I was when the radio station
that where my first job, when we played that song.
So yeah, what is it for you, Caitlin? I bet
it's high school or college?

Speaker 2 (02:34):
The first thing that came to mind, like a song
I'll always love. I'm Sprung by tea Pain see'd high school?

Speaker 1 (02:39):
Yeah, yep, yeah yeah, I mean behind these hae lies
Kelly Clarkson, Yes, okay, every single time I hear it.

Speaker 2 (02:46):
Also high school, Yeah, Paulina.

Speaker 3 (02:48):
Honestly, if you buck, I'm going to say, listening to
write so on not give you buck. I kind of
been listening to like the freestyle stuff again, Like I
bring it up every once in a while.

Speaker 2 (02:57):
Kaylen gets on my car.

Speaker 3 (02:58):
Sh'll hear it like this TVB s like Diamond Girl,
because that's super DISSI yes, I mean, I had no
business dancing or listening to any of that when I
was like six or seventy eight.

Speaker 1 (03:07):
But I love it, Okay, it's like nineties. It was
like nineties, like yeah, I guess late eighties. Yeah, nineties okay,
But a lot of it's from when you were young.
But how many times would you say, as a grown
up you say this is my favorite song, like the
one you just heard today at thirty five, and you go,
this is my favorite. I don't feel like anybody says that.

Speaker 2 (03:28):
I say favorite right now. I feel like I went
like temporary yeah, and then I always go back right
behind his haze. Lies always appears. Yeah, seemed like yes,
so good.

Speaker 1 (03:38):
I feel like in mind were from you when I
was growing up, like really young, when I fell in
love with this stupid business. But like the songs I
listened to when I was obsessed over you know, radio
and listening to the radio, and yeah, late eighties, I
guess it was when I was really little. Those are
the songs that I resonate or the songs that my
mom played in the house a lot, which were all
pop songs because we grew up listening to that. I also,

(03:59):
I also contend a lot of your music taste is
based in what you're introduced to by your parents, because
I know, you know people that are my age who
love Motown like I love Motown. Okay, A lot of
people don't even know what that is because their parents ever,
you know, whatever, and it was it was thirty years
past my prime, right or prime past my birth. I
know a lot of people that like Zeppelin, and you

(04:21):
know that's sort of like seventies, sixties, seventies like rock.
Never listen to any of that growing up. People love
the Beatles because their parents obsessed over the Beatles. And
now you don't like you I.

Speaker 2 (04:33):
Don't understand the Beatles. You go, but if you grew.

Speaker 1 (04:36):
Up with it, you'd either probably be nauseated by it,
or you'd love it because your grandparents played it for
you or your whatever. Yeah, I don't get it.

Speaker 2 (04:42):
Jazz music.

Speaker 1 (04:43):
I like jazz music because I necessarily like jazz music
because my grandfather that was always what he played because
he was a jazz musician. So like, I guess I
just think that those things are rooted in you by
like if your parents love country music, like I bet
you love you know, country music is the thing pretty
ricky grind with me. Somebody said, oh yeah, perform that
song recently right on me, even though it's with me.

(05:05):
Oh right, Yeah. I listened to older the Goofy movie soundtrack.

Speaker 2 (05:11):
Oh yes, remember we did that?

Speaker 1 (05:13):
Yeah? Which it's who is It's Temy Campbell, which I
didn't know for the longest time. My favorite to this
day is deer Agony by Breaking Benjamin. So that's what
two thousands? Yeah, yeah, but I would imagine that person's
like twenty or twenty five thirty it was something like that,
because again, if you were like really immersed in two
thousands music, and I'm sure there are exceptions, but I

(05:35):
have a really hard time believe in anyone listening is
My favorite song is that Sabrina Carbenter man Eater's song
you know what, Manschild, whatever it is man Eater, that's
stelling for title. That's my favorite song because man Eater,
you know. But yeah, So do you think though that
over time you have because you would think the older
you get, the more songs you're exposed to, the more

(05:57):
songs you might like, but it turns out you wind
up just weeding them all down to fewer songs, which
is kind of interesting. Yeah, Summertime, Djjzz, Jeff and the
Fresh Prince High School right so nineties. My parents listened
to Bruce Springsteen exclusively during my childhood. I'm now a
thirty one year old, still in my EMO phase. I
don't know what that says about me. I get that, Yeah,

(06:19):
Party like a Rockstar Shop was Wow, these are funny songs.
I don't know. To me, these are funny songs to
say that your favorite. But if you grew up in
that era, then I guess say your favorite
