As an older one I'd also say that exposure to good music has never been more available. Yes there's garbage, but the streaming services make it nice to throw on a station and find other bands. Vinyl me please has exposed me to music I'd never pick out on my own that I'm quite fond of (Glass Animals, Gorillaz).

But at some point you'll start going backwards, and that's what you hit your mark. Maybe you find a disco tune that evolves into full funk and rhythm and blues, soul music. You find the Terry Kath years of Chicago and think what if? You discover NOLA and the brass instruments and Kermit and the Hot 8, or Tom McDermott and Aurora Nealand. You see the Mardi Gras Indians and become ensorceled. You might go to the 50s 60s cool West coast Jazz and inhale all the Bill Evans and Miles and Coltrane and Art Pepper and Mingus and the next thing you know, you've lived.
