How has your music taste changed over the past few years?

What the title says really.

How has your music taste changed over the past few years and why do you think it has changed?

Obviously some people may not have changed at all, but still say if it hasn't!

I remember when I first started high school I used to listen to that DJ Cammy stuff... Then year 9 it was Clubland and hating anything remotely 'rocky' then year 10 it was general rubbish, year 11 I sort of opened up a bit then last year it was 'indie' (hate that description) with a mix of dubstep and other stuff. Oh and then I discovered Cudi about nine months ago and I fell in love. So I guess I'm now into a range of stuff from 'indie', 'underground' dubstep/club stuff (no **** Clubland stuff) and hip hop (also hate that description). Really into finding up and coming artists though, some of the stuff they're producing right now (hip hop) is seriously good... bright future for that. No major mainstream stuff apart from some bands though purlease.

gone from all the mainstream pop and rock stuff to different types of folk and a lot of alternative. Some indie too although more recently they seem to be changing the indie genre.

Back when I was a young teen I was into all the classic rock kinda stuff and my taste in music was greatly influenced by my cousin. Now however I rarely listen to any and find a lot of it sounds the same and it's boring since all of it is old and there is nothing new to look forward to. However, because of my interest in classic rock I got into other types of rock and a lot of oldies, many of which I still love today. After the rock phase I went into an electronic phase where I was into trance, techno, electro and stuff like that and all that time my interest in classical music, orchestras and piano pieces was also growing.

These days my favourite genres are classical, electronic and rock (sorry, I don't keep up with all these sub-genres, but my favourite bands on average seem to be in the symphonic rock, new wave, electronic and classical genres) and my favourite bands and artists include Nightwish (absolute favourite), Depeche Mode, The Birthday Massacre, Ludovico Einaudi, Andy Hunter, Enya, Moby and Immediate Music, but I am very open to almost anything. Perhaps because of my great love for films I have also become hugely interested in film scores and composers and very much enjoy listening to the works of Joe Hisaishi.

Glad I don't like classic rock much anymore and very happy I chose the route of classical music as it has a certain magic that can not be touched by another genre. Unfortunately it is so very unappreciated by todays youth. These days I am also into a lot more foreign music, particularly Japanese and German and I still love listening to older bands, particularly those from England, along with American artists like Paul Simon, and that is how my taste in music has changed in a nutshell!

in like 2003/04/05 i used to listen to like mainstream rap music from america like 50 cent, eminem, missy elliott that kind of thing but now since ive opened up to so many more genres. now i listen to all sorts, rock, electronic, rap, indie bands, and my gcse music course has introduced me to a lot of classical music, i particularly like pieces from the romantic and classical eras. mozart, beethoven, bach, tchaikovsky etc... cant be a true 'fan of music' if you dont appreciate where it all started. recently ive been listening to a lot of elvis, buddy holly and etta james too, magical.

but my one true love will always be for pop music ... not the manufactured bubblegum crap kind though (yes there is a difference and im not even going to try and explain myself again )

3 years ago I didn't listen to music.

2 years ago I was into a lot of rock.

Last year pop.

Now - rnb hip hip & Rap.

[Plebings]

previously listened to pop
6 years ago mostly rock and disregarding pop as talentless people and blabbering on about how 'OH WHY DOES EVERYONE LIKE POP GOD ALL THEM CHAVS'
3 years ago mostly gathered my own music taste that's probably based on what is unpopular and therefore makes it cool but also makes it incredibly cliche, therefore making it uncool.
I laugh at the 6 year ago me 8)

used to listen to a lot of pop and dance, nowadays the dance is now electronic rock plus post-hardcore, indie, alternative and punk rock for that genre.
also listen to the occasional rap song.
