Since I turned 60 a couple of months ago and even before that I found that I can't listen to rock anymore. It just gives me a headache.
My taste in music nowadays is ambient trance, erethal wave, gothic, neo classical, new age, progressive and experimental, electronica, whatever innovative alternative stuff that interests me, etc.
Some examples are (in no particular order):
Above & Beyond
Amethystium
Bella Sonus
Blue Stone
Brian Eno
Dark Sanctuary
Delerium/Conjure One
Enigma
Lycia
Mythos
Portishead
Solar Stone
Thierry David
Too many to list them all!

DOB 1949 here. One of my avocations is classical guitar and 1/8th (3 out of 24) of my current repertoire is by Francisco Tarrega (died 1909). That old enough? #2 on the list (2 pieces) is J. S. Bach (died 1750).
I have started doing my own arranging and my current (and/or future) list is Bohemian Rhapsody (Queen), For What Its Worth (Buffalo Springfield), Green Eyed Lady (Sugarloaf), She's Not There (Zombies), and I always thought that 'In a Gada Da Vida Sampler' would be interesting., But I am not going to do a 17 minute arrangement and I am NOT going to simulate a 4 minute drum solo by beating on my "probably costs more than your carbon fiber/di2 bike' classical guitar :-)

When I'm at Work, I have 'Motown Monday', 'Tuesday Bluesday', 'Wiggle-it Wednesday' (Disco), Throwback Thursday (Classic '70s rock), and then 'Free-for-all Friday' where anything goes (anything from my 900+-song MP3 playlist)...
Stevie Ray Vaughn
Stevie Wonder
Eagles
Pink Floyd
Carly Simon
America
Skynyrd
Fleetwood Mac
Def Leppard
Barry White
Whitney Houston
Alan Parsons
Just about anything!!!
No rap or heavy metal though...

I’ve been listening to French Impressionist piano music. Stunningly beautiful.
I recently discovered Army of Me by Björk.

I don't. I want to hear that car coming up behind me so I can react to it if I have to or another rider coming up and passing on the left.
I have noticed a trend in people carrying small blue tooth speakers on their bike and pump the pedals to their jam, which I find is kinda funny. Hey, whatever floats your boat!

Like you said, seems too dangerous to ride with music.
They don’t hear my calls for “on your left” but they do hear my very loud bell.

Eyeglass mirror notifies much earlier than ears -- FACT!!! In 5 hours I will be out shortly after midnight for A COMBINATION NEW MOON/DAUGHTER'S BIRTHDAY RIDE. My tunes will be playing, lights flashing and mirror helping to see approaching vehicles a mile behind. Pretty sure nobody here has bionic ears that will hear a vehicle a mile away.

Not me or anybody I would ride with, but I see people out and about doing it all the time. Both earbuds and external speakers. Both annoy me, but for different reasons.
The joggers all have earbuds. I don't see that I blame them, considering how boring it is to jog (personal opinion). But it makes it harder to share a MUP with them.

For us 1960's Heavy Heavy Metal Guys this young performer gets it and is satisfying...

I now have 3 sets of BT Buds and I never ride without them in. Not all at the same time, idiot. I still hear lots of things when my music is playing, I just choose to ignore them. Without buds, all I hear is LOUD wind blowing through the space between my ears. Go figure.

Apart from safety issues, I won't listen to music while I ride because it would interrupt the great mental unspooling that riding induces. My mind waneders, I process things from work and life. I get ideas.
You can't explain it to non-cyclist. How a 2 hour ride, a 4 hour ride, even more, can go by without ever being bored. YMMV, but it's my form of meditation. Music would just get in the way.

Yeah, another thing - if you're listening to tunes when you are riding, how do you listen to your bike? Can you hear those creaks, pops, th****, pings, and clacks which tell you that something isn't quite right?

Anyway, back to the OP.

Sarah Jarosz
Molly Tuttle
Phoebe Bridgers
The National
Many things from the fantastic youth jazz explosion in Barcelona - Andrea Motis, Rita Payes
Joe Bonamassa
Goat Girl
Lake Street Dive
Mandollin Orange
Churupacaa

I don't need to hear those things. I can feel my bike through my bones and when something isn't right, I know it. As for little pops and crreks, those could just be my old bones.
