I'm currently stuck on two genres: punk rock and avant-garde. Of course, this doesn't mean I'll stop looking into these genres later on, and it definitely doesn't mean that I won't look into any other genres now. It's just I'm stuck on this "tangent" type mindset. So, has anyone ever had this happen to them?
This has been my pattern of music discovery pretty much since my early teens.

I'd love to see your signature/links too, but the huge and obnoxious ones have caused me to block all signatures.
