(With no disrespect to those with medical paralysis)
Musical paralysis is a term that refers to your state of mind where you stop seeking-out new bands, and only listen to what you already know.
I am 55, and I think I am finally hitting the point where I don't need to seek out any new bands.
Anyone else at that point?

even if I look and act really crazy.

I will say that my "new" music discoveries are usually old bands that I never really listened to when they were at their peak. For instance, I just listened to The Strokes' Is This It for the for time in my life today after receiving Room on Fire as part of a subscription a few months back and digging that.

I hit the paralysis every so often, but then I go read reviews and check out new stuff. I've found a lot of stuff that way.

I don't listen to the radio, but i'm always excited to discover new bands, and it was happening more going to shows and seeing the opener, but in the absence of that, if a band or artist I dig recommended some band/artist on their socials, then I'd take the time to check them out.
