Music of your generation
Desert Fox:
Almost considered asking this in the General Forum
What I am curious is how much do you gravitate towards music from when you were a kid / teenagers?
I try to stay at least kind of current but there is something about music from the 80's (when I was a teenager)
I don't consider it "special" but just seemed to ingrain itself.
David E.:
I grew up on 80's metal, everything from Poison to Metalica, then to more Progressive Rock. The only bands from that era I still listen to regularly are Iron Maiden, and Alice Cooper. That influenced me most in the fact that most of the music I listen to, new or old is guitar oriented and usually very layered and complex. I like very wall of sound sort of music: probably why I listen to a lot of Peter Gabriel and Devin Townsend.
khendar:
In my teenage years (late 90's) I used to listen to mostly techno and house music. Nowadays I'm not so much into the house stuff, but I do still listen to trance (psy/goa) and ambient/electronica stuff. I have a wide variety of musical tastes though, so I can't really say there's any one genre I prefer. It depends what mood I'm in. Sometimes I'll want to hear some Tool or Dream theater, sometimes it will be Breton Gwerz folk tunes.
Neutral Milk:
My anecdotal experience (mine along with that of other people I've asked) is that interest in new music seems to wane in mid to late 20s. That doesn't mean interest in specifically modern music, but in discovering new music (which could be old).
From the time I was 18 until the time I was about 26 I couldn't stop listening to anything new I could get my hands on. Since that time (I'm 28 now) I may pick up a new album at a rate of about once a month if I hear it recommended from a number of sources I trust.
Most of what I listen to now is stuff I discovered when I was 19 and 20, a lot of which is stuff that first came out when I was 15 and 16.
When I was 15 and 16 I had absolutely horrid taste in music.

Like in most things you don't really develope your own taste until you hit your 20's
