Stop what you’re doing, check your license and just see how old you really are. Got it? Well minus that figure from 33 and that’s how many years left you’ve got to soak up the good times and good music.

According to some boffins at Skynet & Ebert who crunch data on the reg you quickly consume music through your younger years before switching off to popular music around 33.

Why though? Turns out we just like the old stuff better…

“First, listeners discover less-familiar music genres that they didn’t hear on FM radio as early teens, from artists with a lower popularity rank. Second, listeners are returning to the music that was popular when they were coming of age — but which has since phased out of popularity.” – The Echo Nest

Sifting through bits of data shows some other eyebrow raisers that says that men listen to less popular music than women and that parents never seem to be listening to anything cool, so unless you were born with some Benjamin Button genetics things are heading downhill from here.

Jungle forever right?
