Was it better? Is getting old the reason why new music just doesn't have the same impact?

I'm not just talking about on the radio or buying CD's. Music made a BIG difference in the movies I watched. I still associate many songs with scenes in a movie. Someone mentioned a Black Tarantula and BAM I thought of Beatlejuice right away.

That can still "sorta" be true for disney movies (like "You're welcome from Muana) but hardly ever do the songs have the same impact they used to, at least to me.

Which is sad, really sad, cause it was part of the joy of movies and now it's just...meh.

Right. You were emotionally vunrable, and honestly only half baked at the time those events happened. You credit the music for that, but really it was your brain that was broken, the music just happened to be there. So like a baby duckling you imprinted on it.

This is still going on today with what's playing right now and other broken people with half formed emotions who are still growing up and adjusting who they are.

You can't anymore. No music that you are experincing for the first time is ever going to make a change in who you are or how you feel deep down unless it echoes something that did it to you the first time. That's why pop music targeted at you sounds the same as everything else produced in the last 20 years, it found a way to hit an echo of what formed you, and you vibrate to the harmonic frequency.

I say it again, no music that you experiance for the first time NOW can change you way music did then.

This is both a good thing, as it means all of your emotions are fully baked and your not going to be as easily manipulated, and a bad thing as the range you are capable of experincing has been locked in.

You COULD go on a journy of self discovery, of meditation, drugs, halucinations and mind opening experiances to try to make yourself see the novelty in the world again, to get yourself to FEEL again, people have been doing that for the entire length of recorded history. If you are lucky it'll even work.
