I was listening a lot of grunge.. Nowadays when I listen grunge, after a while it gives me headache and I find it very noisy. How about you?
Yeah I do. Metal/punk and I listen to good ole fashioned classical music. I've opened up to this new 80's sounding music that's been hitting very recently.
https://youtu.be/30jrmzzgHLc?si=bsFXZUXg0WDAoPDn
I reserve my type of music for what I'm doing. I might play Slipknot or Metallica while I weight lift, classical while I read or study (yes, I do that and no, I am not in school... fuck school). NoFx or something like it might come into play when I'm getting wild... I'm talking snorting coke off a hookers butthole and slamming a shot wild.
This new 80's sounding music seems to be coming from non-woke movies... take my theme song for instance...
... and I'm hearing a lot of this music style coming from the Korean movies since American movies have become so shit that I can't even bother most of the time... it's way too fucking woke for me. It really sets a mood and appeals to the gen X inside me. For example... they'll (Americans) will use 80's sounding pop music, but if it's not some gay shit that sounds like a living meme, it will be gay... like not as in sexuality gay, but something you want nothing to do with because it sounds stupid. Probably because it really is stupid. Like an overjoyed joyfully kid getting happy about candy and soda type of stupid. I'll never understand why music that describes a club and what goes on in the club is marketed towards girls that have a decade to wait before they can drink or while violence and cruelty are marketed to the young boys. I mean I get it, but I just don't relate. It sounds stupid to me.
You mentioned grunge, and I place that in between punk and Metal. Kurt Cobain for instance went to Metallica concerts and NoFx was trying to imitate Nirvana at one point. The first cassette tape I shoplifted was Bleach by Nirvana. There was actual interaction between all those bands back then... in a way.
I did go through a rap faze... don't want to talk about that. Early millennials sort of went into N-word loving as like their thing. I believe a lot of their social justice-seeking mentality stems from that. I mean they really think they understand and relate to the plights of people they usually don't even have friends in. Joining the military and having to sleep next to, work with, and spend my free time with every race there is sort of just knocked that out of me. I no longer really related, and realized I was never going to relate on that level. They got placed into the same category as the Country music crowd... friendly on a one-on-one basis, but can become a problem when they get together and start acting stupid.
Anyways, I'm writing a fucking book overhear. I play multiple instruments, and I've made rap songs with techno music before. If you find my song "Looking for School girls" on the internet... don't give me shit about it. Please. Me playing Amon Amarth on guitar is probably what you'll find first.

For the most part. They aren't my favorites anymore but I still enjoy them.
I was a fan of Nirvana and Red Hot Chili Peppers in high school, for example, and still like them a lot. I also liked Madonna a lot although I couldn't broadcast it so much back then. 😅
I am not sure about genre though. I never was one that could settle too much into a genre of music. It was rare that I even liked a whole album let alone a whole band. I mostly liked songs here and there. Like even with Nirvana and RHCP, I only seriously liked and continue to like 5-6 of their songs, and that's more than most artists.
I tend to be a deeply nostalgic person though and definitely guilty of often wearing rose-colored nostalgia glasses. I unashamedly give bonus points to anything that reminds me of my childhood, and a lot of the newer music I like does that, like this song which reminds me of the 80s even though it's from 2001:

There's always great music no matter when you were born and what you were listening to when you were 15. And there's always lousy music that was popular. As a teen you probably listened to some of that too, just like I did.
Usually people refine their musical tastes and broaden it. I like more music genres, including metal and country that I didn't listen to as a young girl. I also appreciate jazz, more folk and roots music than ever.
There's just too much to like and very little is awful.. We're lucky humans are a musical people and most ofit is lovely.
Yeah sometimes. I was really into pop punk and emo kind of music back in the day.

Oh, absolutely, my grungy friend! These days, I've traded in my flannel shirts for a cozy bathrobe down here in mom's basement, and instead of jamming to Nirvana, I've embraced the soothing sounds of... wait for it... elevator music! You know, those smooth jazz tunes that play while you're ascending to the next level of cyberbullying ignorance? It's like a lullaby for my troubled soul, gently rocking me into a state of apathy, where the only rage I feel is when my coom jar needs emptying. But hey, who needs edgy lyrics about anal sex and horror cocks when you've got a soft saxophone serenading your basement dwelling existence, am I right? Keep on trollin', Kulotza, keep on trollin'!
You could say that but, I never stationed on JUST ONE genre! I can listen to classical, big band, blues, jazz, ska, reggae, psych (my fave), prog, electronic, punk, new wave (my 2nd fave), Texas swing, atonal, garage, surf, British invasion, power pop, pop, bop, doo-wop, novelty, early metal, glam, soul, Motown, R&B, northern soul, blue beat, experimental, funk, and, maybe a few other genres I've forgotten about. Just like when I was growing up. Most of the shit I WON'T listen to has been popular over the past 35 years. Modern metal, modern country, rap, hardcore punk, disco, and the pop princess garbage of today that does an incredibly bad job of passing itself off as music. It's all just too boring and repetitive and made specifically for people of low intelligence.
Sorry if I hurt your feelings but, I've always liked music that MAKES you think, NOT music where you don't NEED to think.There was stuff I listened to as a kid in elementary school that was popular at the time and I don't like some of that stuff anymore. I still like most of the music I liked as a teenager, I just don't think some is as good as I thought it was back then. Then there's some stuff I didn't like as a teen and now I think it's good.
I went to a pop-punk show last night… was fun but yeah it was kind of like high school all over again lol.
I’m over it… bunch of dudes pushing 40 and still singing about “ohhh why didn’t she like meee?” 🤣🤣
Oh absolutely. Otherwise I wouldn't be listening to music since I was always a versatile listener.
But even the things that are my favorites haven't really changed. Some stuff got added but not removed.
Although I would say there are specific songs that I know so well sometimes there's a lack of dopamine when I listen to themI create my own mixes that contain as much or as little of the music I want.. Yes I have some of the old stuff I use to listen to, as well as newer stuff too.
I get bored VERY easily though, so I usually have less than 30 seconds of each track, and within that, the track is mixed with other bits and pieces too!I never chose a genre, just individual songs, particularly from movie soundtracks. I'll still happily listen to those from O Brother, Where Art Thou? The LOTR trilogy and Braveheart, a bit of Enya, a bit of George Winston's Summer and songs from some Nature Company CD whose name I've long forgotten.

yes... to all of it I ever liked since I was a kid...
if I ever liked it once, I still like it today
and even today... I'm still finding much more new music to appreciate I like music that was around before I was born. New Wave and 1940's-50's Swing. Simple Minds and Count Basie.
I used to listen to a lot more stuff like Linkin Park, Breaking Benjamin, Three Days Grace, Red Hot Chilli Peppers, Evanescence, Crossfade, and Creed back when I was in high school.
While I still do listen to those occasionally, I've transitioned more to easy going vibes like Indie/Folk, house, and classical genres.Broadly yes. As a young teen I discovered metal and still listen to it. Although the specifics have changed a little since I listen to more 'growl' metal like Amon Amarth now.
Not exactly. I couldn't find a genre of music that resonated with me in my teens. I mostly listen to video game soundtracks and such. When I was 23 someone introduced me to electronic music. They shared songs with me from Deadmou5e, pendulum and few others. Now I primarily listen to electronic music. Every once in a while I'll still be in a mood to listen to video game music though.
I still listen to the exact same genres it’s classical music, instrumental music, jazz, rock and when I feel like being on trend I listen to whatever is current 😭. Sometimes I listen to pop.
Sometimes. I'd listen to country, romance/love, EDM, nightcore, and a few others. But now I listen to romance/love, hyperpop (slowed), and Lo-fi. As well as slowed & reverb music (Daycore).
I still like soft rock, melody wise, but I don't listen to it because I had a dream where God told me to avoid music with depressing lyrics. I listen to Jewish music and Christian music now.
Actually, no. My musical tastes have changed a lot over the years. When I now listen to what I used to listen to, I wonder how I could ever have liked what I did back then.
No. Used to listen to sécular pop music; Taylor Swift, Serena Gomez etc. But now I listen to hymns and Christian pop, music from people like Joseph O'Brien, Forrest Frank etc
Yes and no. I still listen to a majority of 90's music on my Playlist. But I listened to a lot of rap. I still like rap. But I'm not a young punk anymore. And the rap I listen to now is of the less explicit kind.
Yes, I still do. Because I still like the same genre since I was a teen (and preteen alittle bit) but mostly the genres since my teen years. I've gotten into a couple new genres since then too.
Yes lol. I still have Nirvana on my playlist, but I’ve transitioned into more blues and alternative music.
