I didn't listen to nearly as much music as I usually do. I liked Steven Wilson's new album and Blackfield's new album enough, but I'd probably go with Mew's "Visuals" this year for my favorite.

I've still been thinking about this, I've actually been considering writing a small review for my album of the year as well as small reviews of a couple of honourable mentions, but I don't know if that's a good idea or not.

Anyone else not keep up with current stuff like me?
I honestly haven't sought out new music since around 2004
Assume that's the majority after they get a certain age,I noticed most facebook friends favorite artist is whatever was popular sometime btwn when they were in junior high-college,the established canon of "important" 20th century artists and occasionally 1 or 2 modern acts.

That makes me feel weird. I'm 33 and I enjoy keeping up with newer acts/artists. It's not out of wanting to be a "slave to trends" or how other people try to paint it, I'm just too naturally curious.

Go ahead, I'd be interested in seeing it.
Well I'm still not sure if I can, as I said before I don't want to offend anyone or cause any arguments, and despite the album having nothing offensive or objectional in it whatsoever, I'm still hesitant to reveal it for other reasons.

I'm 29, and finding new music/musical artists is still one of my favourite things to do.
I read an article a while ago claiming that scientific studies say that your brain automatically/instinctively stops you from liking new music from around the age of 25. That scares the hell out of me, I don't want to ever lose the ability to enjoy new music, I enjoy discovering new music far too much to have it taken away from me.
I have no idea how accurate/correct that scientific study the article talked about was, but it's science so it must be true right? I don't know.

I try to discover new bands/song all the time as well but I think most people give up on newer music cause they assume it's all Beiber/Pitbull and top 40 Producer Driven garbage

There might be something to the scientific part of it, where music is linked to your memories and emotions, so nothing will reach that original "high" as you get older.
Personally, it's probably because it's harder to have the time to find new music as life builds up.
I know people in their 50s, 60s, 70s all still finding new music, you just need to try harder to dedicate the time.

Well I wrote up a small review thingy for my album of the year and my runner up. Still not sure if it's a good idea to post it though, as I said before my album of the year is from a controversial band and I don't want to cause any offense or arguments.

See, that's where I dispute that scientific part of it then, because I still get that same feeling when discovering new music now as I did when I was younger.
And I don't completely buy the 'not having time' thing, because it's quicker and easier than ever to find new music. All you have to do is go on YouTube, look up a genre of music, and click on something at random, and if you don't like it move on to the next song. Alternatively, you could look up playlists people have made on YouTube of whatever genre of music you're interested in and go through those.
Or, and this is how I do it most of the time, I'll look up random artists of a particular genre on music sites, and if they peak my curiousity I'll look them up on YouTube to see what they sound like.
Either way, even if time is an issue, it's still easier to find new stuff.

This is just personally, but I really don't have the time unless I force it.
Either I'm at work, can't do it there, or in social situations where it ends up being a compromise, so we end up listening to "safer" options, be it with my wife or friends. If we have kids, then I'll have to listen to what they like, so it'll be newer, but it's still less time to find my own stuff.
