I was totally unaware of the band Oasis when they emerged on the music scene in the 1990s. It was only after they disbanded for the first time in the late 2000s that I discovered their catalogue. Now they’re one of my favorite bands.
Such discoveries excite me. Just when I think I’ve reached the limits of my tastes, along comes something new that challenges how I think about the genre or a specific subject. That it’s new to me, and not to the dedicated legion of fans long familiar with the work, matters not one wit.
The joy of experiencing something for the first time, and reliving that experience again and again, makes life worth living.
