"New" is relative to the individual: it's a well known phenomenon. For example, Carol has chosen really old fashioned choices for Bashynka and beaumont too, but I doubt she was there when Kalinka was orignally written in 1860, however the period when she most likely heard it was in the seventies, when she would have been most receptive to music, because receptivity to new music generally decreases with age. You can look through Gilles/Poirier's bio- it's virtually all music or based on music between 1965 and 1982; and stuff that is older was probably experienced for the first time by Carol within that period. Their choices are very dated; and if you were presented with them without knowledge of whose playlist it was, you would guess it was someone in their seventies.
Do you think all the classical music is picked by coaches from the 1830s?
I'm not sure why you have zeroed in on Carol Lane (particularly with the Russian music selections where the more obvious person to have suggested them would be Juris Razgulajevs) to begin with, but also, young people these days listen to plenty of older music. Nor has figure skating ever been about skating to primarily new music; indeed, most skaters don't.
that is absolutely false and a wild underestimation of people's ability to acquire taste with exposure and experience.
can you give me a link to a study that proves this?
Can you give us a link to a study that proves this?
Her other teams this season have music selections that include Macklemore and the Spice Girls. Gilles & Poirier have also done Caro Emerald, Alicia Keys and Beyonce.

I've only glanced at this but it looks like a very flawed choice of study to challenge my original point. But thank you for it anyway.
That's still not enough for me to say that the pattern isn't there, when i look at the full picture of teams. I also don't expect it to be an absolutist rule, just for it to be a preponderance. Thank you for pointing out those few examples though. I think with the Caro Emerald choice you have to accept that the musical form is not modern, and that beyonce and alicia keys choice is over a decade old. I do not know the teams doing the macklemore and spice girls. I shall look out for that. I presume they are younger than B/B.
It's a generally observed phenomenon, to do with the reminisence bump and how we form out identities. Some people will exhibit it less, and I am not stating that anyone exhibits it as an absolute. https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/2059204320965058
I agree these are valid challenges to the study presented in the context of your original point. There are some studies that explore mere-exposure effect with aging, but I think this:
Is the main point (the effect of emotion and reminiscence), which supports your own argument. (ETA: Although, you would expect a choreographer/musician/someone who engages in the arts to exhibit it less when it comes to making artistic choices and judgments, at least)
Yes it's to do with how we form out identities and then how then behave as result of how our identities have formed. You may well hear a piece of music for the first time that is modern and find it overwhelming and inspiring, but your behavioural biases and emotional biases are generally in effect in terms of how you appreciate and select music. I don't know how old anyone is, but if you are 15 every piece of music is new and thrilling, every lyric can become part of who you are, you are routinally experiencing things for the first and pieces of music get associsations because of that( and that's without factoring in the social importance of music lessens as you get older). But there is generally a point where you have formed enough of yourself and your tastes for that that you move on and experience life differently.
