why do people who are past 25 years old start to listen to generally

Oldfag here (39). This song is my shit right now: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0SSOCfYORbQ

Not bragging or anything like that, just giving an example

because metal and hardcore are shit tier genres that only 14 year olds enjoy.

Age up
BPM down

Because at some point you realize that defying convention for its own sake reflects an embarrassing immaturity.

29 here. generally i'd listen to something legit smooth, but it's nice too blast some 'hardcore' stuff as you called it

You mean hardcore punk? It's just less appealing when you run out of angst. The good stuff is still good, but if you see a 30 year old guy dressed like a 14 year old 'punk kid's you know he's got some weird maturity issues.
I go to punk gigs in regular clothes and the majority of people in the scene are complete assholes.

not hardcore punk, "hardcore" music in general
I mean the genres or subgenres that are not very catchy or wouldn't appeal to people who are not into it

Yeah, I think it's just the lack of angst. Then you get into the weird 'normal' people and they only care about upholding the image society has for them so they become salarymen and stop liking 'childish things'. Those guys creep me out.

My theory is that when you are young life is boring with few responsibilities and you are rebelling with angst, and so the music brings the excitement and breaks the boredom.

When you grow up life starts getting crazy busy with responsibility and stress and you need to relax and chill out more to get away from it all.

because it hard to do anything productive with "hardcore" music.

wage slavery has suffocated the life out of them

>>72702159
we become mature

They expand their social circles, that usually means stop acting like metal teenagers and start acting sophisticated adults.

I never really cared for that pretentious bs, so I wouldn't know.

Because after working a job your soul is crushed

There was an interview where Trent Reznor talked about the angsty rebel phase, I think he was quoting the dude from Green Day though. Pretty much when you're young it's sexy but when you're old it just comes off as bitter and you have mental issues.
