How Have Your Music Tastes Changed?

[QUOTE="Pierst179"] It just went back in time.ITasteBlood

no, they vastly improved

[QUOTE="Darth-Caedus"]A couple years ago I was listening to Slipknot, Avenged Sevenfold, Linkin Park....and all that garbage. Now I listen to GOOD music:Psolid_mario

i used to like backstreet boys, nsync, and brittany spears when i was a kid and they had just came out, they obviously sucked. should i respect them just because i used to like them? if i could go back in time id hand myself kreators pleasure to kill when i was 10 years old. just because you used to like something, dosn't mean they were good or that its ok.. i wish i could have gotten into, or done many things sooner rather than later in life.

I used to listen to California punk crap like The Offspring. Then I found out about a little band called Splashdown, they were shoegaze/pop/middle-eastern/electronic and really innovative. It changed everything, but I was still stuck with recent bands like The Sundays, Weezer, Sixpence None the Richer, Garbage, nothing older than the '90s.

Then a friend who grew up in the '80s introduced me to goth rock and new wave, and from there I ended up absolutely loving everything from the '80s, even crappy pop music. After that I discovered '70s punk (which is, so far, pretty much the only thing from that decade I really like), old-school hip-hop and finally, No Wave bands like Teenage Jesus and the Jerks and Sonic Youth.

It's been a pretty long trip, as you can see :P

I use to dislike Metal and basically anything with a guitar and listen to all rap and stuuf (I blame Midnight Club 3) and then I started listening to my friends music and playing GH 2 and started to like it a lot. Then I learned how to download music for free and just decided to get some System of a Down songs because that was one band I rememberd my friend showed me and now they are my favorite artist. I don't really listen to rap any more, just occasionally.

My brother took me out of metal in middle school by showing me some Spanish Rock bands (thank god). I used to listen to Green Day and Blink-182 a lot, but I just grew out of them and rarely listen to them now. Those are really the only changes in my music taste that has happened. Everything I listen to now, I've been listening to it since early high school.

Lets see... I used like hip hop and rap. Listening all day long to Eminem and Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg... A year or two after Eminem Show, the cd, was released my taste changed into what it is now... Metal :Dhorgen123

At 7 - 11 years old i listened to mostly punk and ska, with a bit of pop. 12 - 14 i got into alternative rock and a bit of emo without realising. 15 - 17(present) i've been listening to variety of rock; but mostly indie, metal and classic.

Yeah I used to hate rap, and I still do, but some of it is more acceptable. :P

Used to like rap/hip-hop. The new generation has made me hate it, I just listen to techno/rock(alt and all that stuff) and metal.

Death metal sucked. It still does.... just even more so.skinnypete91

I've been listening to more Brutal, Technical and Melodic Death Metal than I have in recent memory. I am also regaining a little bit of my Black Metal intrigue, but thus far it has only been Emperor, Summoning, Anaal Nathrakh, and Nachtmystium

Rap-->Rock-->Metalcore-->Deathmetal-->Metalcore-->Post-Hardcore

2-3 years ago I was listening to Slipknot and Trivium. Now I listen to real metal, good metalcore, good rap, good rock, I acknowledged Led Zeppelin as being awesome and overcame the idea that "older music sucks" and lately I've been listening to some jazz :DDivergeUnify

2nd, good rap? Nah.zeppelin_64

Good rap? Yes, definitely. You gotta dig out the old-school stuff. Not a fan of the so called "Golden Age" of Rap myself, but the oldies are just awesome.

Well I didn't really listen to music before Iron Maiden got me into Metal.cyberdarkkid

Iron Maiden was what got me into metal too!

I started off listening to nothing but Motown, then I found Green Day, which then led me to listen to a lot of punk music. I used to hate metal, and pretty much everything that wasn't punk or pop/punk. I was so stupid. Now, I listen to so much music, from so many genres. classical to heavy metal, techno to punk. I love music, and I never hate on any kind of music.

I used to listen to mainstream pop a lot. Now, I like techno, which does explain why I like rap, today's mainstream pop(seriously, it's fused with techno now, especially with artists like Katy Perry dominating the genre), and I enjoy some forms of rock, but lately I've been looking for something loud involving rock, which means I may start looking into metal soon.

I used to only like what was "popular," but now I just listen to everything really in terms of genre. I don't really have a true favorite band/singer, just some that I listen to more than others. I go through phases. I'll listen to someone for awhile, then move onto someone else that catches my attention.
