Why the Oldster doesn't Like the Modern Music? Here's the Reason

TRIBUNBATAM.id - Listening to music for some people is a panacea to get rid of boredom, or relaxation.

Until now, there are various genres that flood the world of music.

People who listen to music are also from various ages, both young and old.

However, it cannot be denied that everyone's preferences about music change as they get older.

But there is one interesting thing about the relationship between music and the age of the listener.

Sometimes many of the oldster feel "disgusted" by the genre of music or modern songs.

Is there a correlation between age and taste in music? Does this mean of because the more we getting older, the more we become closed to the changes and new approaches to music? 

Believe it or not, the answers to these questions are actually in our own brains. 

Music element

Reported by the Medical Daily, there is a research that shows the ability of the human brain to distinguish chords and other musical elements that deteriorate with age.

And songs that are not known today, tend to sound the same in the ears of the oldster.

• A Big Whale Carcass Stranded on Kas Karimun Island

This might be the reason why they always refer to modern music as noise. 

Interestingly, Professor of Psychology at Knox University, United States, Frank T. Mc Andrew believes there is a simpler explanation for why the oldster don't like to listen to new music, and that is only because of the exposure.

There is a psychological theory called the "mere exposure effect" that the more a person is exposed to something, the more that the person is likely to like it.

This theory is actually proven in how companies marketed their products.
