If you're over 30 you should attempt to listen to some music by artists who started less than 10 years ago.

I'm not going to say that you should keep "up-to-date", or that you should know every popular song or whatever.
It's also fine to not enjoy some new genders of music - maybe hyperpop just isn't your thing, right?
But you should attempt to keep learning new things, and to update your idea of what "new" is.
It's much too easy to get stuck in the past and keep thinking of music made when you were young as "new".
Honestly the greatest thing done in service of telling people their taste in music has gotten old is the When We Were Young festival, which featured My Chemical Romance and Paramore in its original lineup.
Because at that point (2022) those two bands were 21 and 18 years old, respectively.
"Dad rock" now is My Chemical Romance,
"Granddad Rock" is Nirvana,
"Greatgranddad Rock" is Pink Floyd
The Beatles are Petrified Husk Rock.
(for the record I like two of these and tolerate the others)
