What are your grown up songs? You know, those songs you hear that make you go, "omg this is grown up music".
For some reason David Gray leaves this impression on me. He has this distinct sound that makes me thhink, "This man has his shit together. People that listen to him also have their shit together."
Ya dig?

Jazz, especially classic stuff.
John Tropea - "Muff" (1975)
John Tropea "Dreams"

Not minding that time's passing by I've got all and more, My smile, just as before. Is all that I carry with me I talk to myself, I need nobody else. I'm lost and I'm mine, yes I'm free

Music is flavor, what resonates with you. You could be any age and like any style of music. I don't understand what makes music "adult" ?

i would argue that as time goes on your musical tastes should evolve and you can more easily discern crappy, teenager music from adult music. pop music is enjoyed by people of all ages, but i think it is mostly kids music. thats my opinion
classical and jazz are good examples of adult music because the listener is not looking for catchy hooks or simple, sing-a-long chorus lines.

I grew up listening to jazz and classical.
I know what you mean there's a lot of "teen" ir music and stuff or music directed at specific younger audiences.

Not really a fan of Jazz tbh. Especially freeform jazz. It sounds like someone let a bunch of 2 year olds into a room with some musical instruments and just recorded what happened. What do you call one wrong note played in a song? A mistake. What do you call more than one consecutive wrong notes in a song? Jazz.
I do, however, dig whatever style of Jazz that's in the intro to this YouTube show. It's smooth af and I dig it.

I'm not a fan of really abstract technical sounding jazz. Has to be stuff where the soul of the core tune comes though, and the improvisation enhances it.

One of the best musical experiences I've had tripping was watching some Japanese jazz fusion, specially this crazy group Dimension.
Here is Dimension playing with another amazing fusion band T Square:
T-Square & Dimension - Live Concert In Korea [Full Live]
Skip to 20:10 for the part with both bands together, the first 20 minutes are just T Square.
DIMENSION - Se.Le.Ne, Beat #5 (Live 2012 ~20th Anniversary~)
DIMENSION - Live in HuaHin International Jazz Festival 2018 (Full Concert)
Something about this style of fusion I find incredibly mentally stimulating while simultaneously uplifting, makes it perfect tripping music. Sat around with some friends having great discussions for hours.
Their guitarist is an absolute beast. And the interplay between musicians is incredible. Their saxophonist is crazy as well, the whole band is amazing really. Their keyboardist has played with some really great western musicians as well.
Dimension has like 40+ albums or something crazy, they play an incredibly eclectic mix of jazz from smooth/funky jazz to super heavy shredding that sounds like some hard rock or prog metal.

I think that it’s important to make the distinction that there are performers, entertainers, musicians and artists. I would argue that a person can only be considered an artist after the century following his or her death. History isn’t the most accurate indicator of talent; however, history has a way of exposing material that is worthy of contemplation.
I find the idea of people regarding and disregarding certain genres of music to be fascinating. A person can see that the world is filled with many cultures and ethnicities, and the person can organize this world in his or her mind based upon these differences; however, there is truly only one single culture that exists. The only culture that exists is “human” culture and it is merely expressed in different ways upon different land masses across Earth. Similarly, there is no such thing as American, French, Ecuadorian, Egyptian, Kenyan, Chinese, Thai, etc. people - there are only “humans”. These ideas relate to your topic because music is also different shades of a single color. Is the wild abandon of Jimi Hendrix’s guitar playing any less poetic than concertos of Vivaldi? The only thing that remains constant in the history of “art” is the inner desire of an individual to express themself in a fundamentally unique way.
Though an unpopular stance, there is such a thing as good art and bad art. The nature of time creates the impetus for life to evolve. Evolution is not only biological. It is something that happens within professions as well, and it is usually related to the current state of technology. The architecture of the Babylonian empire is much different than the architecture of the Byzantine empire or the Roman. Evolution within a trade does not necessarily guarantee that things will evolve for the better.
What makes for adult music? I would say that anybody who is interested in the essence of music chooses to listen to musicians or groups who have developed a craftsmanship that is unique, melodic, rhythmically interesting and or technically skilled. Technique, not be mistaken with virtuosity a.k.a showing off, is not necessary, but its development does allow a musician to express themself in novel ways. Repetitiveness, in a musician’s work or in someone’s music taste, usually indicates stunted emotional development.
Choose your art wisely, because it does affect your life. It changes your brain chemistry, and your brain chemistry will influence your decisions. Your decisions will sow the seeds of your life’s fate.
