I can always recognize a fixed trend in people who have already reached a certain age. They seem to be evolving step by step towards a focus on classical music. Even though they had plenty of other flavors before that.
Could this have something to do with an inner search for peace? Rather a kind of social and societal rule? Or does it rather have something to do with changes in hearing and the brain?
Answer
Dear Benoit
interesting theory. However, I can’t see them confirmed in my area.
In the Generation Show (VRT) Bart Peeters claims that you will remain a fan of the music you heard around the age of 15 for the rest of your life. None of us is old enough to have experienced classical music. Perhaps, and that seems quite probable, in the past radio, TV and in cultural life in general, much more attention was given to classical music.
According to Bart Peeters’ theory, your taste doesn’t change after the age of 15, so there is no connection with your hearing and brain. During our lives we come into contact with other styles and tastes that we also learn to appreciate, and we may associate that with “mature” music. Modern music is not necessarily “noisy”, and classical music is not necessarily “quiet”.
