That doesn't make sense in the slightest, music is for all ages and your brain is never going to stop enjoying it unless you make the active decision to do so.
Iirc, that's not actually *quite* what the studies suggest. I've read a few of them about this topic, and from what I remember, the actual claim isn't that we lose our ability to like new music.
What happens, in theory, is mostly boiled down to one thing:
Our brains are insanely receptive to new stimuli and prone to over-indulgence when we're in our teen years and early 20s. That's part of why people in these years are more likely to engage in riskier behaviours, and a wider variety of behaviors than when we're older.
As we age, our brains slow down some, and we stop having the same level of chemical reactions. We don't seek out new stimulus as often, and it often doesn't trigger the same level as enthusiasm in our brains as when we were younger.
This doesn't mean we don't enjoy new music when we hit 30. It means we are less likely to seek out/try and keep up with new music the way we used to, less likely to be like "I'm adding every single song I've heard this week to my playlist," AND that our reaction to the music will usually not be as strong as songs we've heard in the past.
As someone cough36cough I hate to admit this is true for me I stopped liking new music for the past 3 or 4 years last one that was new that I liked lol was something from Glee lmao so yeah I can see this happening even more as I get older.
My daughter is just starting to discover what music she likes and I listen to her music and I tell her to turn it down because it is annoying. Or for her to put on earphones. Than I go listen to music I like. Like stuff I grew up listening to with my mom from when she was a kid 50s 60s 70s music and from when I was a kid 80s 90s and 2000 to 2005.
Lol all my music she hates. Unless someone redoes a song I grew up with like she likes the song Zombie but the redone version not the original by the Cranberries.
