Sounds like you're describing depression.
Also, you're only 29 please don't let your music taste halt now. There's great stuff being released right now and it's healthy to pepper that in. Be careful or you'll be listening to nothing but these tracks/albums for the rest of your life. Especially if it's affecting your relationship.
Do you think there's a little imposter syndrome going on?
Oh I listen to new music all the time, it's just when I put on a certain genre of instrumental hip hop I get in a certain mood, but yeah right now I'm really into an artist called jazz emu. As to your last part, I don't know, I'm not familiar with the symptoms
Oh instrumental hip-hop is great. Never stop listening to that lol. I'll check out jazz emu.
As for imposter syndrome I just mean it kinda sounds like you're trying to talk your self out of depression as if your symptoms aren't a big enough deal or you haven't "earned" the title or something.
