Even just today I found something that really captured my imagination (link at the bottom).
Maybe there's nothing bad about not being "easily impressionable" anymore, but I always likened it to not finding the world as interesting and mysterious anymore. To sort of get set in your ways and stop taking an interest in what's going on around you. I'm always suspicious of my own opinions about music, honestly (meaning that I'm not sure if I'm being open and fair when I hear new things).

The latest thing that captured my imagination:
Good song, it got a little too pop midway through but it was good. I don't think I have that fear. I know I'm set on my ways but I don't feel I need to impress anybody with my music taste or the need to listen to a lot bands and absorb as much as I can, I don't feel like that anymore. When I was a teenager I did but sadly I wasn't exposed to a lot bands back then and even when Napster became a thing it was a little too late. I always try to keep a open mind to not be stuck in a musical time capsule but like I said, few artist tear that wall of familiarity for me.
