二、阅读理解
When I was a teenager, my parents were never interested in the music I liked. They said it sounded like “a lot of noise”. At the same time, my father regularly described the music that he liked as “beautiful”. As it turns out, my father is not alone. As I’ve grown older, I’ve often heard people of my age say, “Today’s music is terrible. ” Why do many old people just dislike new music?
The mere exposure effect may explain this. It means the more familiar we are with something, the more likely we are to prefer it. When we are in our early teens, we usually spend a lot of time listening to music and discussing it with our friends. The songs and artists that are popular during this time become familiar to us. After we turn 30 years old, working and raising a family take up most of our time. Instead of discovering new music, we listen to old favorites that connect us to a simpler time. Studies show that by the time they turn 33 years old, most people have completely stopped exploring new music. But I think there is another explanation for why older people don’t like new music. Most popular music, after all, is not written for them. It is made for young people. Punk, rap, hip-hop, heavy metal, and many other types of music began as youthful rebellions (叛逆) against out-of-date ways of doing things. They naturally attract younger audiences.
Do your parents hate the music you like, too? Now, after reading this article, you know that there is nothing wrong with that.
