I've solidly become one of those people whose music tastes got locked in during their teens and twenties.

So for me that's like 1990s and 2000s rock, or newer bands of the same genre.

Does anyone ever deviate from that trend?

totally.. ..i'm in a perpetual late-80s,90s,early-2000s industrial and rock loop


I have my entire music library from the CD/iPod days synced with Apple Music.  But I do like listening to new stuff too!


yes, i was a rocker but found out Bach was too/Bach compositions have some nice tracts/ not all but some just like most productions 4 me.


Similar, but I stopped listening to music because I hate the feeling of nostalgia.


Don’t even get Hozzel started


I mean... its perpetually 10-15 years old, right? RiGhT?!


Same here. Mine are locked in. Music is the best Time Machine technology we have.


so do I! I mean fond memories and all, but here now!


I TEND TO HAVE A PRETTY WIDE RANGE LOCKED IN AND FIND FINDING ME MUSIC TO BE LIKE A TREASURE HUNT…AND YET SO SO MANY SONGS SICK WITH ME…

I like all music. The childhood beats do bring back memories but some recent stuff is just as good if not better.

No particular genre for me, even country is on the table! That says something.


I think it relates to the formative nature of those years which we emotionally associate to the music, sometimes stated as “music is the soundtrack of life”.  There is also a theory called the “Reminiscence Bump” that touches on this topic.


I’ve always loved music. But the kind that most of my friends did not like. A bit of heavier stuff. And the 1990 and 2000’s were the golden age of alt rock. A great time to be around. I hung on to new music trend and bands until I was in my 40’s but it’s safe to say that the rock space has been pretty dead for a number of year. Yes, I know old bands still release new material but that’s not the same thing. Now, funny you have Seether in your post. Absolute cracker band originating from South Africa (my home country). They were called Saron Gas back then. Fine Again is my favorite track of theirs.


₿ only and Tool only.


I’m still obsessed with Tool 20 years later but I’ve actually got into death metal and classical music in my late 30s and now 40s.


listen to Michael Kiwanuka


I listen to all sorts of genres, new, old, and very old. The urge to enjoy that teenage angst is definitely a strong one. Those spells will last a few weeks for me, but for some reason I've dodged that settling of preference. There's so many incredible artists out there creating passionate works.


Mansonite though and through. #antichrist #superstar


Yeah I'm still exploring new genres and artists. I listened to classic and alternative rock as a teen. I got into hip hop and electronica in my 20s. I found country and jazz I liked in my 30s. Who knows what the 40s will bring. Sexy sax jazz? Lol no.


Hang out with someone that did acid in the late 60s and early 70s


Yes, and Seether, hell yeah


same


live is the vibe i like best!  all genres


I think we're lucky 😅


I was such a rebel I refused to accept the mainstream music at the time. Now I like everything. I suppose I’ve lost my edge but I’m a lot happier 🫡😄


Funnily enough I really didn’t like classical music. Now somehow I do.

My hypthesis is my dad was a massive fan. I detested him blasting it from the speakers where people in school could hear this very uncool music. Now it makes me feel calm and at home 😂. Well played dad..


Sort of true to a degree.  But its more about the musical artist than than the era.  I'm from the woodstock era and still love those bands the most.


Nah I firmly believe what you listen to until you’re 20 or so you’ll listen to the rest of your life. There will be occasional additions but those first ones stick around for ever.


True for me as well. 😀 incidentally, i have watched Seether live at least 4 times.


Onward 🫡


My heart takes me all over the world and throughout time. Like this  beautiful cover by Lake Street Dive of a Jackson 5 song: https://youtu.be/6EPwRdVg5Ug?si=qHf-0bs4pmjFedc_


I was an 80s kid. I listened to a lot of everything but what stuck with me was early hip hop. (C+C Music Factory, Marky Mark, etc ) My tastes have moved on to EDM, k-pop, and other high energy dance music but I think it all started with that early hip hop.


Yes. I actually get bored of a song if hear it too often. Takes time or the right environment for me to listen to it again and enjoy it. So love to find new music in different genres. But also love a mix of it with older songs


I’m the same.


70s, 80s, and early 90s


Yes, I'm always on the look for new stuff. Last summer I finally discovered early hardcore punk, this summer I'm all about doom metal and German provoc-techno-rap.


Peak rock was 1994. All downhill from there.


Not me. I listened to strictly 90s punk rock for 15+ years.


I enjoy some some new music still. Often is it stuff inspired but that same time period. People my age that grew up on the same stuff.


i went from metal to punk to psytrance to industrial to ambient and all of those make some degree of appearance in my playlist, in pretty much order of distance in time

ambient is my staple these days

music with lyrics does not go well with programming


Still plenty of great music being released today.  I usually have a browse on something like albumoftheyear every week, and just keep trying new stuff. Has led to great discoveries I never would have contemplated, throughout the years.


The 70s & 80s were my “era”, but I have found a lot of other good stuff to like over the years. Some by listening to what my children recommend and some through Spotify or other influences across social media.


my taste constantly changes. and with few exceptions, I never listen to the old stuff


or maybe there just hasn't been any real good new music created since then.. 😁


Yes, many people deviate from that trend.


There's plenty if you're open to it.


Makes sense. Listening to voices is definitely a hard thing to shut off. 😅


yeah, double that when you have trauma history/ptsd, just loud sudden noises even... dogs and screaming children make me crazy

one thing that has been interesting though as i have made progress with my diabetes and general health problems my hyper-sensitivity is declining and i'm feeling more relaxed

going into keto after a full 3 day fast really made a difference way beyond what you would have guessed... looking forward to my next one, i schedule them for the 3 days leading to the new moon, so, starving myself again from 31st, the 3rd day before the new moon


I'd say anyone who's a fan of classical, jazz, bluegrass typically doesn't follow that pattern...


I’m locked in 80 and 90’s for the same reason


I'm glad your noticing some improvements. It's quite the experience going through a synergistic mind/body healing cycle.


Trend confirmed


Exceptions are quite rare in my experience


tasted locked down since 2005


Same here


genres for new bands seem very blurred compared to in the 90's, but what i listen now is pretty much an extension of the same industrial / aggrotech / darkwave / symphonic metal i liked in my 20's, i can't call myself an exception from the trend


I am a a total deviant...if it's a good quality music, for myself it could come from any era.

My tastes were firmly established in my teens (90s). I like new stuff from those bands though. Aghori Mhori Mei by The Smashing Pumpkins released 2 weeks ago is superb!


My tastes have become a lot more electronic since the age of 27. Specifically techno. I used to hate it, now I get so much energy from it


Learning to play a musical instrument can change your tastes from an audience member to a performer.
