Open-earedness refers to an individual's desire and ability to listen and consider different sounds and musical styling. Research has shown that adolescents exhibit higher levels of open-earedness, with a greater willingness to explore and appreciate diverse musical genres. During these years of sonic exploration, music gets wrapped up in the emotion and identity formation of youth; as a result, the songs of our childhood prove wildly influential over our lifelong music tastes.

Weird, I feel like the older I get the more diverse my musical tastes have become.

I feel the same way. I'm appreciating genres I normally would have scoffed at when I was younger.

I'm almost 50 and my playlist has harry styles, Radiohead, Jacob collier, and ivy lab in queue.

In my 20s opera was my after party comedown music.

I may be odd.
