As someone who is aging. Late thirties. How can I keep my finger on the pulse of current trends, particularly in music?

dependencyinjection@discuss.tchncs.de to No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world – 191 points –

As an example. I grew up in hip-hop but at a certain point I stopped listening to new people and realised recently that I’d slept on some bangers. Like Kendrick particularly, but even people like Juice WRLD and Xxxtentacion.

The same for the Kendrick and Drake (the nonce) beef which has given some rabbit holes to go down.

So I’m wondering what I can do to keep in the loop with my younger brothers and sisters?

Is it something as simple as watching trending videos on YouTube (somtheing I’ve never done) or are there people to follow etc. I don’t like Twitter though so hopefully it’s not that.

Edit: Man I got so many replies. You guys are awesome. I am going to work my way through them all today, but I’m hella tired and off to work so may take a while. I will reply to you all.

Edit part deux: God damn I think I got all the replies.

Its something you personally enjoy, not something you put an effort to hear of just to please somebody else. Did this help you?

I never mentioned pleasing anybody else. This is all for me my guy.

It’s easy to hear music, not so easy to keep finding music that is new.
