Even supposedly new genres in the past decade like, say, dubstep give me a strong 90's electronica vibe and don't even get me started on the "oontz"-stuff "every" OKP (including me) hate. I'm not saying it's EXACTLY the same but I don't find the differences significant enough to even bother doing some "heavy" work in order to understand it; I rather listen to old music in styles/eras I know I dig that I haven't heard before or in a long time than to wade through and research tons of new stuff just to find something I may find on the same level as some old shit I find comparable; it's a matter of convenience to me...

Maybe this "Been there done that"-attitude is part of getting older but I'm not sure about that because people in the past felt genuinely alienated by new musical styles. The thing is that I feel alienated and "old" by a lot of new stuff but music? Nah...
