I think that's true for a lot of people, but it really depends on what kind of a music listener you are. If a big part of your listening experience is nerding out on underground (or not) stuff that's new to you, I think that that sticks with you as you age. If you're just a casual music listener, that hunt is unnecessary once you have your favourites in line, so that person would be more prone to a fixed taste once they reach a certain age. Sort of like how the kind of person who turns into a Republican simply because they're getting older was probably never really invested in politics to begin with.
