Looking back on it, I can see how my tastes have evolved to an extent.
For example, I used to cringe at any type of screaming in music. Then a friend recommended Thrice to me, which has a decent amount of screaming, mixed in with a punk feel (which I was comfortable with). I found that I could handle the screaming and got into other bands that scream a bit more. This progressed until I got to where I am today (where I actually enjoy screaming). I'm not into stuff that's too too heavy now, but who knows, it could happen. |

That being said I also enjoy a lot of music that's very familiar and nostalgiac for me because I grew up on it, like CCR, Queen, GnR, etc. Actually. A lot of prog music reminds me of 8 bit/16 bit video game music, which like prog quotes classical music, consists of synthesizers and uses similar melodies and rhythms, so nostalgia could be a factor in that as well since there was a time when video game music was the only kind of music I listened to. What you're saying actually makes a lot of sense. Last edited by boo boo; 04-16-2010 at 06:09 PM. |

Parents for sure. I love so much of my dads music, he was wood stock styles. I am additionally a big fan of drum and bass, trance and trip-hop music now which I think is attributed to the internet via recommendations and general discovery.

Nowadays, I listen to music which is reminiscent of the kind of stuff I listened to when I was a kid. Between then and now, there was a period in the 90s when I listened to more mainstream stuff at the time (punk and grunge and so on) and while much of that is still incorporated into my tastes today, I've abandoned the music from that stage in my life more than I have the music I listened to when I was a kid .. which was stuff like 70s Pink Floyd.
Now, although I like to think of myself as having diverse tastes, I'm probably more clear cut than I like to admit with a clear preference for various kinds of 70s rock.

I just press play and listen to it whatever type of music it is. I think having an open minded attitude in music applies in everyday life and other interests too.
I think that there are far too many factors to clearly define what makes an individual listen to the music they do.

I think alot of it has to do with our experiances. Being able to relate to what the artist is saying, where you can almost sort of feel it was written for you?
Music that you can feel, I think, is the music that's going to shape your tastes. Some poeple might GET that song about the drug addict and fight for life. Some people GET that song about the blonde dancing the night away. But if you've never been there, you're just hearing the words. I don't think you can actually FEEL like those who've been in that certain situation. I guess what I'm saying is I don't think it's exactly something we khow as a child, or have really learned. I think the music that stays with us is something we've felt through our experiances. Does that makes sense? |
