I can only speak from personal experience, but for me, that hasn't changed much from since I was a teenager. It was always purely about the music for me. I would feel like a band made this music that really, really spoke to me. I still get that feeling, and then I fall in love with something. For example, take my infatuation with Cristina Branco. I learned of her music only about a year ago, but I already feel like I've known her music all my life. It speaks to me. It makes me feel like it was made just for me and my current state of mind. I don't think I got more into bands as a teenager than I do now. Could be wrong about that.
