Why do old people dislike new music? As I've grown older, I often hear people my age say things like, "They just don't make good music like they used to." Why does this happen? Luckily, psychology can give us some insights into this puzzle. Musical taste begins crystallized as early as age 13 or 14. By the time we're in our early 20s, these tastes get locked into place pretty firmly.

為什么老年人討厭新音樂？隨著我慢慢變老，我經(jīng)常聽到我這個年齡的人說：“音樂人只是不像以前那樣制作好的音樂?！睘槭裁磿@樣？幸運的是，心理學可以給我們一些關于這個謎題的見解。音樂品味最早在13歲或14歲就開始結(jié)晶。到我們20多歲的時候，音樂品味已經(jīng)被牢牢地鎖定在了一個地方。

In fact, studies have found that by the time we turn 33, most of us have stopped listening to new music. Meanwhile, popular songs released when you're in your early teens are likely to remain quite popular among your age group for the rest of your life.

事實上，研究發(fā)現(xiàn)，當我們33歲的時候，我們大多數(shù)人已經(jīng)停止聽新音樂。同時，在你這個年齡段的人余生很可能會一直喜歡在你十幾歲的時候發(fā)行的流行歌曲。

There could be a biological explanation for this, as there's evidence that the brain's ability to make subtle distinctions between different chords, rhythms, and melodies deteriorate with age. So to older people, newer, less familiar songs might all sound the same.

這可能有生物學上的解釋，因為有證據(jù)表明大腦對不同的和弦、節(jié)奏和旋律進行細微區(qū)分的能力會隨著年齡的增長而退化。所以對老年人來說，新的、不太熟悉的歌曲聽起來可能都一樣。

But there're maybe some simpler reasons for older people's aversion to new music. One of the most researched laws of social psychology is something called the "mere exposure effect", which in essence means that the more we're exposed to something, the more we tend to like it.

但是，老年人對新音樂的厭惡可能有一些簡單的原因。社會心理學研究最多的規(guī)律之一是所謂的“純粹接觸效應”，這實質(zhì)上意味著我們與某物接觸越多，我們就越喜歡它。

This happens with people we know, the advertisements we see, and the songs we listen to.

這發(fā)生在我們認識的人身上，發(fā)生在我們看到的廣告上，發(fā)生在我們聽到的歌曲上。

When you're in your early teens, you probably spend a fair amount of time listening to music or watching music videos. Your favorite songs and artists become familiar, comforting parts of your routine.

當你十幾歲的時候，你可能會花很多時間聽音樂或看音樂錄影帶。你最喜歡的歌曲和藝術家變成你的日常生活中熟悉且安慰的一部分。

For many people over 30, job and family obligations increase, so there's less time to spend discovering new music. Instead, many will simply listen to old, familiar favorites from that period of their lives when they had more free time.

對于很多30歲以上的人來說，工作和家庭義務增加，所以他們花更少的時間去發(fā)現(xiàn)新音樂。相反，許多人只會簡單地聆聽他們生命中有更多空閑時間的那一段時間里人們耳熟能詳?shù)呐f音樂。

Of course, those teen years weren't necessarily carefree. They're famously confusing, which is why so many TV shows and movies revolve around the high school turmoil.

當然，那些青少年并不一定無憂無慮。他們是出了名的混亂，這就是為什么這么多的電視節(jié)目和電影圍繞著高中風波。

Psychology research has shown that the emotions that we experience as teens seem more intense than those that come later. And we also know that intense emotions are associated with stronger memories and preferences. Both of these might explain why the songs we listen to during this period become so memorable and beloved.

心理學研究表明，我們青少年時期所經(jīng)歷的情緒似乎比后來的情緒更強烈。我們也知道強烈的情緒與更強烈的記憶和偏好有關。這兩個原因或許可以解釋為什么我們在這段時間里所聽的歌曲變得如此難忘和受人喜愛。

So, there's nothing wrong with your parents because they don't like your music. Rather, it's all part of the natural order of things.

所以，你父母不喜歡你的音樂，他們沒有錯。相反，這都是自然規(guī)律的一部分。
