I'm in my 50s and I still listen to new music that moves me to both excitement and tears. I don't use streaming services and just maintain my own library and always have. Many of the bands I listen to have members older than I am, but they are still actively making new music.
I'm also in my 50s and was doing just what you do, then tediously went through hundreds of CDs and then tons of legit iTunes purchases to track what music i liked, and then converted to using Spotify, which has been excellent, though with a UI somewhat clunky, though nowhere as annoying as Apple Music the times i've tried using it.
