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.

I wish I could find a music streamer that wouldn't glom onto whatever I've listened to previously and just start feeding me a constant diet of the same. I absolutely love finding new music, but Pandora and Google both narrow their play lists after a short time.

I like following people on bandcamp and then go through what they bought/wishlisted. There is so much weird stuff out there! Also, I like making Spotify playlists with chosic.com because the give me new stuff that is somewhat related. Once you find a new artist, they usually point to 2-3 other artists and then you get down a rabbit hole.

Spotify is really bad at recommending me music, everything they show me is around 1-2 minutes long only. No idea why :/
