It's difficult to know how much is the person, and how much is the music. I think it's genuinely amazing that 14, 15 year old kids are able to listen to a million more records than I could at their age. I had a fairly broad taste at that age, but kids these days are sick with their breadth. That's definitely a positive thing.
Personally speaking, I got tired of 'new' music a few years ago, and have given up on seeking it out - if it comes, fine, but it's not a pathological condition any more. At the moment, and I hope for the foreseeable future, I'm looking at getting a record collection that is full of stuff that is interesting or good, or challenging (and good). I still like the odd new-ish rock-ish record, but I listen to them for a fortnight and then they sit on the shelf for the rest of time. I don't listen to all of my classical records all the time, but you better believe if I'm sticking on something special, that motherfucker's getting listened to with two ears, two balls and a cock.
