Comment on I hate how everything requires you to download a shitty proprietary data harvesting app nowadays when everything can be done just fine without an app.

  I’m doing my best to constantly listen to new music every week to keep fresh and malleable in my taste

        I leaned hard on Waffles top 10 and also turntable.fm rooms after college.

        Now in my 40s, I’ma little bit stuck in the LCD Sound System era of electro indie.

      For me it depends on the mood. New stuff is fun, but stuff I know can be instantly trabsportative to moods or mental spaces and it feels good. New stuff can be too mentally engaging if I’m trying to do focus work or zone out. I think I listen to less new stuff now because I’m usually wanting to zone out with music more than actively engage with it.

    I HATED rap and whatnot when I was 12-19 or so. Apple too.

    Now I’m constantly listening to clipping. and doneone and UGK (RIP Young Pimp C) on my iPhone.

  Dunno I can’t stand the music I listened to in my teenage years.

    I dont listen to anyone I liked as I kid cause they all came out as sex traffickers and pedophiles.

    now I just listen to disney music, and waiting for the inevitable horror revelations with regards to those.

  The bands you loved at 15-17 are probably the bands that you’ll love forever.

  Thank god that wasn’t the case. Listened to some awful shit as a kid

    Me neither. I wonder if that’s even true, because i see a lot of people changing tastes with age.

  That’s altogether BS. The bands I listen to have changed constantly since my teenage years. That’s just an excuse to become a ranting old man.

  Everything that’s normal between age 10-20 is just as it is.

  Everything you get to know between 20 and 30 is the hot new shit.

  Everything after age 30 is just another fad you don’t want to invest time to get to know anyway

    I’ve come up with a set of rules that describe our reactions to technologies:

    1. Anything that is in the world when you’re born is normal and ordinary and is just a natural part of the way the world works.
    2. Anything that’s invented between when you’re fifteen and thirty-five is new and exciting and revolutionary and you can probably get a career in it.
    3. Anything invented after you’re thirty-five is against the natural order of things.

  One of the credit card companies I use has a website that won’t work properly anymore in my phone’s browser.

  My wife has a card through this company as well and she uses their app with no problems.

  I have zero interest in installing their app so once a month I fire up my surface pro just to pay that damn bill.

  It used to work just fine in the phone browser though.

  Should probably just cancel that shitty account one of these days.

  I’m finding that my relationship with information services as a whole probably crystalized a while ago

  You are correct but it goes further:

  Any tech that existed before you start school is completely natural and quite boring.

  Any tech that is invented while you still care about new tech (this can be anywhere between 15 and 45 as it depends on the person) is exciting and cool.

  Anything after that is squarely in get off my lawn territory and a bit scary and confronting.

  Not necessarily… I grew up already in the era of apps, but have the same attitude. And I actually did actively use a smartphone during my tween and early teen years.
