I’m beginning to suspect that nostalgia is a form of brain rot.
I’ve struggled hard to do it, but in my forties I’m still listening to new music and watching new media. I want to go out like John Peel, listening to good new music until the day I die.
I still listen to and watch a lot of old stuff, but I really try not to make it my main entree.
I honestly think if you’re my age (mid forties) and you’re still listening to music exclusively from the 90’s it’s gotta count as some type of arrested development.
I watch a lot of cartoons, but when there’s a dry season I find myself just rewatching The Simpsons or American Dad.
Usually the earlier stuff of course, but you get some gems in the later stuff, and the later stuff gets funnier the more you memorize the writing.

It’s just hard getting into new stuff without questioning whether it was sold to you through some kind of advert osmosis.
At least with the old stuff, there’s little chance that you were target audience
