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

[Special]

hasn't changed really apart from now i listen to dance music, bassline & r&b as before it used to be more pop music

Pretty drastic for me tbh, I had a neighbour that doted on me like all of my young life and she got me into Bon Jovi from literally like 6 months old, so that was the base of my music taste for a long long time. All I really listened to in my early years other than radio pop of course which I think all kids listen to whatever era they're growing up was Bon Jovi and Savage Garden, then I randomly got introduced to Black Sabbath by this chavvy kid (townies we called them BACK IN MY DAY) which was odd but yeah got into them big time for a few years during middle school, then high school I got into The Misfits in a huge way before my first brush with rap through Insane Clown Posse, whom I can say looking back I totally fanboyed for a while.. oh to be young and foolish again.

Wasn't really until college that I went from liking single artists/groups to expanding into a genre more openly, and that happened with hip hop and rnb which remain the absolute core of my music now. I really do think that rap is something that a lot of (white middle class) people find they need to sort of mature into, growing out of the "can't spell crap without rap lolololol" stages and actually exploring it and finding how diverse and powerful it actually can be, not to mention how much better it often is lyrically overall than other genres with more conventional songwriting styles.

All that said, I'm listening to Britney right now, Christina Aguilera is my 2nd most listened to artist in the last 12 months (after Nas) and I have every Mariah Carey studio album, so the more pop side of rnb is also obviously a big thing for me.

Every musical taste development I've had has been due to people on this forum, ha my life is so sad.
When I joined I listened to like Linkin Park and Green Day and those sort of Kerrang! bands, then I started listening to Indie quite religiously for like just under a year. Then a user here got me onto Post-Hardcore, and from then I started getting into heavier music which is where I'm at now. In between those I've liked other stuff like grime and dubstep and the like, but those previous three I mentioned are the 'main' ones.

i didn't really have a taste in music during early teens, but later i went from pop to rock within a couple years and then for the last 4 years i've listened to electronic mostly and it hasn't changed since

[Ajthedragon]

I like old rock now.

[Jamesy]

It's gone a lot softer. I used to listen to a lot more heavy rock than I do now. I've also extended back in time more to older music, as well as more alternative genres rather than just "rock". I think it's just changed as I've matured and mellowed out

I go through stages with music really, I never stick to listening to one genre. I used to love pop when I was younger and then I moved of to indie and R&B and rap and now I've been really into dance music lately.

[Jordan]

Loads, I hardly use to ever listen to music. But when I went to secondary school, I started to take an interest in pop

[Nikki]

When I was in year 5 and 6, I used to love the music from holidays like that "chocolatey song", then in secondary school i just listened to dance music because is did dance so much. Now I listen to everything, apart from rock.

Oh, I had a period when i just loved s club 7 and busted!

[Keri?!]

I used to listen to alot of erm, well mainstream music and over the years I've just gradually got myself into some heavy rock, I also like indie stuff aswell as electronica but the basics of my music is rock music x]
