Go through a list of the biggest festivals worldwide and check out all artists in their line up each year. The best festivals tend to have a solid and varied list of artists with current releases worth checking out. If you're into a particular genre, there are reputable festivals for specific genres to check out.

But don't forget that a lot of music is not new but new to you. I listen to a lot of stuff that's new to me, but very little of it has been released more recently than the early eighties :⁠-⁠)

That is my all time favorite too. It just fits my hand perfectly, and I can't live without the programmable buttons anymore. So I bought two brand new ones on the used market when I found out they'd been discontinued. Still haven't found anything comparable on the market. The Razer Naga Pro comes close though.

Then your mind will literally explode if you listen to "Computer Love" by Zapp & Roger, released in...... 1985!

I don't know, I've never met anyone who actually prefers the stick. I know that the stick is a necessary measure in a lot of policy making to improve efficiency, but I've never seen the receiver preferring it to the carrot. Not trying to attack you or anything, just wanted to share my thoughts since you wrote that your intent was to induce a moment of self reflection. In my experience, that's far easier to achieve with the carrot, particularly when strangers discuss stuff online. Anyway, I'll stop talking now, have a good day.

It's not the same, but that doesn't mean you give it up, you just adjust your consumption. It's saddening to hear that you gave them up willingly really. I'm old too, but hey, I'll listen to music for as long as my mind functions somewhat normally. And have sex if I can!

He does sound unhappy, but come on, taunting him for it seems a bit unnecessarily cruel I think. I genuinely feel bad when I hear people excluding themselves from life's pleasures because of age. I mean, sure, I'm old so I don't have sex or consume music in the same way I used to. But I don't have any plans to give up and stop listening, it's one of the things that makes life worth living I feel. If anything, it means more to me now than it ever has. Hearing people willingly give these things up makes me pretty sad honestly. So I'm gonna listen to a song that vibes with my sadness right now :-)

"An nuclear engineer"? That's suspicious grammar for a nuclear engineer.

So, at what age do you intend to stop having sex, and even stop listening to music?

It’s barely making a dent in the bigger picture.

This is the silliest argument of all, it's just a recipe for feeling completely helpless and perhaps turning into a total nihilist. Almost nothing you do as an individual will make a dent in the bigger picture, you being one individual and the bigger picture being the bigger picture. Going after big industry? You think you as an individual have a chance of making a dent in the bigger picture if you "go after big industry", whatever that means? No, no dent, bigger picture remains. That doesn't mean you shouldn't try though, because trying is all you as a single individual can do. If the only things worth doing are the things that "make a dent in the bigger picture", then you as a single individual would be absolutely irrelevant. Nothing you do would be worth doing. That's no way to live.

"Whatever you do in life will be insignificant but it is very important that you do it, because you can't know." -Gandhi

Is that why Apple has got the US by the balls because people want to avoid the dreaded green bubble in iMessage? I'm not from the US so that might be me misunderstanding the situation, but I've been told that even many adults in the US view that as a valid reason to avoid anything that's not an iphone, because of some social stigma attached to the green bubble.

Bless you trying to be sensible, but most in the US seem to have internalized violence as a virtue. Their feelings being hurt seems to mean someone has to get physically hurt to pay.

So the guy being paranoid because they were pick pocketed above somehow feels like he would avoid the impact if he gets to physically hurt the thief. He can't see how normal people don't really enjoy physically hurting others, and want to avoid it. They're not normal in his eyes, they're 'pussies' smdh.
