A fascinating article. I wonder (and I'm sure I read something about this in another article) whether being open and welcoming to change, accepting, and enjoying change has something to do with the process?
I see it a lot, people who are stuck in the era they were born, no change is good change, the rose-tinted hindsight glasses go on and they effectively insulate themselves from new external stimuli.
I know we can all be guilty of it, and music is one of the indicators, and it's catered to widely (70s, 80s, 90s stations etc) and thus feeds itself. The whole notion that the visual cortex plays into memory, suggests an emotional `excitement' something new, a challenge first perceived visually. Sound, music has the same attributes but in a different way. It would be interesting to see if further studies find a connection to `new stimuli' regardless of source.
