It's commonly believed that music tastes crystallize around age 13-18. Whatever music you listened to then determines what you'll like for the rest of your life. "Not old" can mean a lot of things, but unless you were born after around 2005 your experience tracks with my own and many others.
Side note: I still have that teenager somewhere in me who wants to act too cool for anything made by a pop artist, but Anti-Hero (both original and its variants) is one I can't help but find genuinely enjoyable.
I remember how sudden that change was. When I was a college student, music was one of the key parts of your identity: you could always talk about that new album you had discovered, genres you listened to defined who you were friends with, etc.
Then I graduated and got a job and on my first ever lunch break asked my colleagues what they listened to. The silence that followed was polite, but deafening. It was suddenly such a nonsensical question. Who cares what people listen to? Do they even have time to really listen to music?
