I still keep listening to the same albums over and over again. I feel disconnected with this decade's music, even though I am in my twenties. Radio stations in my country just play old recycled playlist for millenials and unless I go out of my way to find them on spotify I wouldn't find the 'Pop hits' I often see in lists.
Friends and family are also stuck in their own music comfort-zones, so I can see its a little bit more common. Do you anons also relate?

Listen to "Belief" from the british electro heads NITZER EBB.
 
This album (from 1989) is an absolutly unique masterpiece with an absolutely unique and outstanding sound and vibe, with really no second other one of it's kind. Totaly timeless classic and still sounding fresh and modernist/futuristic today (in it's way).
(Even their own other albums before and after are significantly different, and not one of their albums is like the other - they evolved very fast with different styles of music/sound on every album, but always with their own special note.)
 
And a pinnacle of sound design, arrangement, programming and production/mixing, not only even until today, but even especially for it's time, when electronic music still had to be made laboriously with mostly hardware devices only, or when having the very first plain and rough computer sequencer softwares and samplers.
 
At first time listening it may will sound to you not only as something you never heard before in that way, but also quite rough, simple, monotonous and kinda "empty" (comparable with the album cover artwork is looking like) (and therefore at first listening perhaps a bit boring) - but the more you prick up your ears, the more you will discover the dozens of very tiny and very fine details which the songs are filled up with, and will recognize their minimalist genius.
Even more than now 30 years of listening and knowing this record for such a long time Bernd still can discover new things and aspects when hearing.
 
Of course you have to be open to such style of (non-pop) music and a bit of experimental music, otherwise this will have not much sense.

>House music
 
On their following album "Showtime" (from 1990) they really drove into a more dance and funk influenced style, that is not that far from house music.

They also did their first "rock('n'roll)" track on that album; here without any real guitars yet.

Nice
 
Yeah relate heavily, but idk if growing my music taste through /mu/ kinda fucked me over.
 
What music do you like? These past couple of years I’ve veen getting more and more into more ambient, drone and modern classical territory.

>I feel disconnected with this decade's music
I can relate to this. I also listen the same music over and over. Except there is a bunch to pick from. Except some has nostalgic value and generally wont pick them because of this. Occasionally I find something new. Some net radios helped in this in the past. Or I search something on youtube and go through the hits and then something comes up.
For example I started to search Funky Cold Medina covers, and I found a breddy fun one by a metal band called L.O.C. so I dl'd their other songs from youtube. Then I found a covery by the Mexican rap-rock band, Molotov. And then I searched some stuff from them and tried to torrent albums, sadly could get only 2.

I relate. I have been processing some stuff recently so old music I used to listen to lost its appeal to me. Instead I'm listening to weirder stuff because it matches something internally. Ambient music and speeches specifically.
 
Like this. It's a Russian audio book overlapped with music. I just like the text
