When did the music stop for you?

It hasn't stopped for me. But I have changed what I like and what I listen to.

I completely get where you are coming from. These days youngsters don't 'discover' bands or artists, they are told what 'band' (quotes fully intended) or artist to like by the likes of Simon Cowell. For me music stopped around about 1980 when all of the genuinely innovative electronic music stopped being produced. Although there are some notable exceptions such as The Smiths, Muse, Bjork and more recently Royal Blood.

while there is more garbage music than there used to be the music never stops for me

For me, it must have stopped in the early 80's.

If you feel old, I cannot imagine what you think about me, the music stopped in the late seventies.

The music never stopped for me, it is the clips that bother me more than the music itself (too many clips with violence an indecency). Thought music had much more soul in the 50's-80's and early 90's. But still there are a lot of good songs and artists.

For me music has never stopped and never will as long as there are still people who don't give in to the temptation of creating commercial tunes of very little value. Luckily, thanks to the Internet radio stations or Youtube it is much more easily for us than it was twenty years ago to discover such bands that make great music even nowadays, but of course there is also a degree of subjectivity in each of us regarding the styles of music that we consider to be "good music." I try to keep an open mind and listen to music from all decades, starting from the sixties up to the present day, and I am convinced i still have a lot of great bands and tunes to discover both from the past and the present.

I like the old rock from the 70's and 80's but I will still turn up the radio to songs performed since then.

The music hasn't stopped for me yet, for me...it's just something that I keep rediscovering:)
