A boring person.

It's fairly common that people stop deriving value from video games or movies as they age. Has anyone here experienced such a thing with music?
[TLDR for the rest of the post: I think I did]
I don't know what or why, but a few weeks ago something inside me clicked and since then the enjoyment I've taken from listening to music has been continuously depreciating, down to a point where now I'm completely numb. My entire favorites playlist of 900+ tracks, including songs that always put me in "that special vibe", just sound... boring? I tried new genres, they sucked, I tried songs specifically targetting depression in hopes my ears have magically developed their own consciousness, they sucked, I tried classics/retro, they sucked, I tried radio, it sucked too...
There is no event or series of events I can imagine being the cause for this weird fuckery; really the best analogy would be that of growing out of video games as mentioned at the beginning. I have never experienced such a thing with music and it's kinda scary
