Do you primarily listen to music from the current year or do you listen to various years?

I have the opposite problem. I don't really listen to newer songs and I'm not up to date with releases so I feel like I'm missing a lot of cool stuff and by the time I discover said cool stuff the hype is already dead.

Oooo interesting i'll say i do that too, i kinda enjoy all last year music in its time, then when the new year comes in, new amazing songs come out i would listen to them only and so on

But i'll always keep my fav songs saved from last years, cuz sometimes u miss a certain old song or especially if the group didnt make a comeback yet

Well. I dont listen to only Kpop. So, I listen to songs that date back to 1981.

It's mix I listen to the song that I fell like. It doesn't matter from what year the song is from.

I’m old so... I listen to whatever the hell i feel like from whatever era whenever I feel like it. In fact I have such a lot of classics that I love, that I rarely can keep up with current trends in music - only if something particularly captures my attention. There’s too much good music out there in the world to only listen to whatever is current. I’d feel like I was shutting myself off from joy.

I wouldn't quite say I'm normal. LOL

I listen to all music from all decades (even centuries). It depends on what I feel like. I can go from classic rock to grunge to metal to kpop all in an hour. :)

You're not old. :P Only as old as you feel.

No, I listen to songs I like no matter when they were released. I listen to songs as old as late 1950s, and as recent as the current year (although none from 2021 yet, but IU's Celebrity is coming on Jan 27th)

I listen to music from older years, but I still prefer more recent songs. I have this weird thing where I prefer not to listen to anything from more than 10 years ago...

I listen to songs from the past 5 years. I enjoy staying current but it feels like 2019 is the same as 2020 if the song is good.

I shuffle everything I have on my phone.

no, music is supposed to be timeless. If it's not then it's trash (i do get addicted to old trash music sometimes though)

I aspire to be like you. I'm 25 and like music from all eras - K-pop or not. I occasionally even listen to music from the 80's that my dad has put me onto. But I'm obsessive about this and I have no clue why. And that's why I said it makes me sad because as you mentioned, maybe I am shutting myself off from joy.

When new songs come out I play them continuously for awhile. But after some days I go back to listening to my old favorite songs then I just update my old playlist with the best current songs I liked to keep it fresh and still enjoyable

OCD manifests itself in different ways. It’s difficult. Listen to whatever makes you feel happy, but if you feel like it’s taking over that aspect of your life and that is making you less happy, you can work on this with a therapist. I’m hoping you’ve got someone who’s already helping you with everything else, anyway.

For kpop, I have a playlist that covers the 4 last months. It includes enough songs that I can enjoy the latest releases quite frequently without playing them over and over again. Then I have yearly playlists but since I'm fairly new to the genre, they're not so many.

Otherwise I just go with what I feel like. For my first genre of choice (metal), I usually go by bands: playing a full album or a playlist that covers most, if not all of a band's career. Very recently I made a Children of Bodom playlist after the news of the passing of Alexi Laiho broke out. Tribute to the Wildchild.

It doesn’t matter for me. If i like a song i will listen yo it, no matter what year it was released.
