2010: I'm listening to mostly Queen and Bruce Springsteen. My dad buys me an Iron Maiden album.

2011: My tastes expand a little, and I start listening to some Beatles, Black Sabbath, and Iron Maiden, among a few others.

2012: I try to branch out. I start listening to mainstream pop punk/emo bands. I register on MB to ask stupid questions in the emo forum.

2013: My tastes mature a little, and I start to branch out. Emo is my genre of choice, but I'm getting into metal as well.

2014: Shit gets real. Who knows what'll happen next?

The Clash got me into rock
Death Grips, Captain Beefheart, and Charles Mingus got me into Jazz, and avant garde.

You're fast. In two years from The Clash to Captain Beefheart is quite a "career".

Shortly after listening thoroughly to the clash I discovered "rate your music" and discovered a few more good rock albums/bands. Afterwards, I came across Piero Scaruffi's lists of top albums which just fastforwarded me even more because I found numerous Jazz/avant garde/rock masterpieces.

I'll do a copy and paste. Since age was brought up I'm 21, if that means anything.

When did you discover your genre of choice?
Generally, my favored genre is metal (of many varieties) and it's been this way since 2010. I discovered my interest simply by listening to a lot of music but my ears followed the route to metal.
Internet radio and YouTube has been a major catalyst as an important note.

When did you discover your favourite band/artist?
Like many here, favorites is a concept that's too black and white. I will say a notable artist, Norther, was discovered first through Pandora as I was listening to my Dimmu Borgir radio station.

When did you last discover a new genre?
None of the genres I've listened to has been profoundly new, but I didn't realize the name of the music I listened to was symphonic metal until 2010. Does that count? Nor did I dive deep into it until that year either.

Would you consider your tastes set in stone?
It's fairly rigid. I still haven't been big into jazz, classical, r & b, pop, rap, country, etc. that's outside of my umbrella.
Set in stone I can't say. I reckon few people are that 2 dimensional.

Overall, how long have you held your current tastes?
2010-Present. I could travel back in time show the exact same music to my old self and I bet he would enjoy it. Before that.. Would be interesting because I listened to the local radio station and MTV as my influence.

I don't think there's any way I could accurately describe my own personal evolution of musical taste.

Its the genres that have evolved through the years. I just follow and listen to the ones I prefer.
