Interesting. What did you listen to in your 30's? Do you remember it as vividly as you do the music you listened to in your teenage years? Can you sing along the same way? How will the music you listen to now compare when you're in your 50's?
Not saying the music is objectively better or suitable for all points in life. Just pointing to studies saying teenagers have a huge emotional response to music. IIRC there have been studies showing dementia patients kind of wake up when you start playing music they listened to in their teens.
It's "better = more suitable here and now" vs "better = more impactful" I guess.
