Music of your generation
SQ the ΣΛ/IGMд:
I grew up in the late 70's and early 80's so I listened to the rock of that era (Aerosmith, Zeppelin, Floyd, Stones, etc.)
I eventually migrated to more of a new alt/grunge type flavor.
Looks like I am attending this -> ROCK ALLEGIANCE to give you an idea of my current taste.
I am still known to listen to literally just about anything from Tin Pan Alley to Marilynn Manson to Chopin.
Oh, except for rap and country which I do not consider music at all.
:P

Great question.
I love the music from all eras of my life. I also strive to find excellent new music. Couple things that strike me about this. One, there's nothing sadder than someone bleating on about how there's no good music these days, and that the music from their teen years is the best ever made. And two, there's plenty of fantastic music being made these days, but you normally have to wade through a plethora of abject shit to find it. It's not too hard if you look in the right places, though.
Admittedly, most modern pop music is pretty harrowing.

Hmm, when I first really got into music it was thrash metal and punk. Slayer, megadeath, anthrax, metallica, suicidal tendencies, DRI, agnostic front, gorilla biscuits, Sepultura, nuclear assault, overkill, the misfits… But soon after getting out on my own mellowed out and got into all different types of music from jam bands to indie. These day I’m all over the place. I can enjoy music of the 80s I hated when I was younger but now get nostalgic for.

--- Quote from: Neutral Milk on May 25, 2012, 05:50:44 AM ---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.

That was very similar to my experience. My interest in new music tailed off significantly in my late 20s and I'm more likely to listen to music from my teens and early 20s. Y'know. Back when music was good. ;D
