Science isn't always right. I think it has been dis-proven in this thread alone.

Science doesn't say people can no longer enjoy music at an older age.

Science may have found decreased dopamine activity in elderly people but the connection to music was made by the article.

I don't think the article was serious anyway.

#7. Your Brain Will Stop Getting Pleasure from New Music

When you're a kid, the absolute worst music in the world is whatever your parents are listening to. Your dad is out in the garage listening to ********* Foghat, and you wonder why he doesn't want to cram that power drill right into his ear.

Then when you grow up, the absolute worst music in the world is whatever the teenagers are listening to. You're still listening to real rock or rap, the hardcore stuff from back when music was genuine, while they're listening to some derivative manufactured Justin Bieber bull****. ******, why won't they listen when you try to show then what real music sounds like?

If you're reading this and are somewhere in between the "kid" and "grownup" stages, you're probably thinking that you'd never just let your musical tastes freeze in time. You'll keep finding new bands as they emerge, staying on the cutting edge until the day you die.

But Over Time ...

As you get older, your brain becomes more and more unable to handle dopamine, which, as we've pointed out before, is a big factor in making us feel "the chills" when a new exciting piece of music comes on.


Because nothing you hear will have that same effect on you as the fresh exciting sounds of your youth, it will become harder and harder to get fired up about new music. Your musical taste will therefore stagnate, regardless of how on top of the trends you were at 17. If you want to know what new music will sound like when you're 50, go spend an hour watching TV shows intended for toddlers. See how long you can tolerate it.
So, you'll get older and settle down and, inevitably, the ubiquitous Rumours album by Fleetwood Mac will mysteriously appear in your collection, like a Gideon Bible in a hotel. Just accept it

Mmmm....not so much.

Pitbull just sucks.

Two points here:

1) Cracked.com is a humor/satire site.

2) Enjoyment isn't limited to one chemical in the brain.

Who is Pitbull and why on earth would an adult go by such a name?

 

[The30YardSlant]

Ah, thanks to Google I see that his real name is Armando Christian Pérez. Now "Pitbull" makes all the sense in the world.

I'm 26 and some of my favorite musical acts are the Eagles, Guns 'N Roses, Willie Nelson, Gary Allan, Wade Bowen, OneRepublic and Usher.

So there.

don't really see why everybody is coming at me after offering a scientific explanation as to why old guys say 'young people don't know what real music is', like i said don't talk to me talk to science

I didn't see that. But after checking it out, I still don't think the article connects their claim very well to the research.

The other link discuss the elderly being brain being less dependent on dopamine while the research simply suggests that dopamine release is stimulated by music.

Not exactly sure how the two work together to draw a conclusion that music has a lessened ability to elicit a pleasurable response.

Old people enjoy their own music. The fact that they don't like current music isn't really a sign of anything when the research was comparing the dopamine response from favorable music that elicited a response to neutral music that did not.

The were comparing a person's own selection versus what they had selected for them.

Basically, the research confirmed the idea that we get pleasure from things we like.

I was 19 when Usher hit it big, 22 when OneRepublic became mainstream and 23 before anybody outside of the Brazos Valley knew who Wade Bowen was.

I find myself liking new music all the time, but what sucked in 1965 still sucks today and what sucks now will still suck 40 years from now. There really is such a thing as "bad" and "cheap" music. I can hear something I don't care for (Michael Jackson or the Beatles) and still acknowledge it is well made music. I can also listen to Justin Beiber and 50 cent and tell you that it is cheap glamor music meant to appeal to the ignorant masses and lacks substance or orginality. Some music is popular because it is good, other music is popular because people are sheep.

 

[Hostile]

Some of you people really need to realize music didn't stop when Willie Nelson and Merle Haggard stopped creating.

Oh hell man, us country folk got Brad Paisley, Jason Aldean, Jamey Johnson and a host of other good singer-songwriters to listen to. Willie and Merle are still great. I've got 50 bucks says if this Pitbull guy hits their ages no one will care about his songs.

 

[SaltwaterServr]

I can't stand Pitbull. He's a gimmicky performer (I refuse to use the term singer) that'll be gone soon enough.

 

[JohnnyHopkins]

I have to admit that I honestly do not know a single song of his. I really stopped listening to any stations that would play this type of music years ago. That Doctor Pepper commercial had a pretty catchy tune though. :laugh2:

The Black Keys, Cage the Elephant, stuff like that, I am pretty knowledgeable of, but PitBull has escaped me. I guess I have really narrowed my tastes in music as I have gotten older.

 

[BrAinPaiNt]

I like that song he did called...I got Mike Vick by the throat and I ain't letting go.

Wait...he did not do that...well if he did I would be his number one fan. :
