this is nowhere near enough data to make a real conclusion. there is no causal link explained here, merely a correlation. my anecdotal experience is that i now hate the music i listened to as a teen (RATM and SOAD mostly, with some nine inch nails etc. thrown in), my absolute favorite band was Thee Oh Sees for a while in my 20s, and now i’m almost exclusively into electronic music like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jn1Br5Zf6Xs&t=1503s

very hard graph to follow but “popular music” means highest rated radio pop station. Nothing alternative.
