Re: New Show vs. Rewatch

It is called getting older.

Basically, as you age, the brain stops handing out the dopamine for learning something new (learning meaning any new experience, not just what we consider knowledge learning), and starts handing out the dopamine hits for when we encounter something familiar. That is the teal deer version.

I get what you're saying and I actually think it's true for most people, but you're linking studies about music, which is a completely different medium than movies/TV shows. The brain reacts in a very distinct manner to music. I don't think those studies are 100% relevant to this topic (even if the conclusion could be correct even for movies etc).

IMHO I believe that rewatching movies/TVshows is more a "I'm too stressed out and/or tired to deal with new stories / cliffhangers / drama I don't know the resolution of" than simply getting older.

I've always been this way. I would re-watch the shit out of the same five movies as a kid. Drove my mom nuts.
