discussion Feeling weird about liking old music

does this break the sub rules:

Hello, lately I've been having some intrusive thoughts that suck the joy out of music I love, the vast majority of albums I listen to are from 50s to 80s (classical music is my favorite and by far what i listen to most but let's ignore that for now), this started really bugging me, like why the hell I'm I listening to something so damn old? I mean the only active musician I listen to is Kanye, but the majority of my favorite musicians are long dead, this makes feel like my taste is dead or stuck in the past, I know for a fact the kind of music I love almost certainly will never become famous or made again.

I forgot to mention I'm 19 so that's the problem, does anybody also face this? If so how did you deal with it?

For reference, other than classical I listen to jazz, soul, and some kinds of rock.

This. Just sit and enjoy the music you like. There are plenty of old albums that still stand toe to toe sonically with modern music.
