• A new survey from Deezer suggests we stop listening to new music at age 30.
• The results put this down to a busy life.
• But there could be other reasons, like the fact we don't soak up new music in the same way anymore.
• For example, between 12 and 22 our brains go through a lot of changes and we're more receptive to the songs we hear.
• Whatever the reason, our brains like nostalgic music, and there's no shame in indulging them.
