How has your music taste progressed over the years?
For me it was something like:
>dadrock
>grunge/alternative rock
>black metal
>melodic technical death metal
>djentshit
And then at some point I just started liking dark synthwave, and now I can't go back. Pic related.
it hasn't progressed in just one genre so i cant really say.
I've added more genres over time.
>started with dadrock, hip hop, folk
>+rnb, blues, punk rock
>+heavy metal, post punk, alt rock
>+idm, breaks, extreme metal, shoegaze
>+prog rock, post rock, industrial
I progressed from old delta blues into celtic folk somewhere along the line and I'm not sure why.
>Perturbator
I see you too are a man of culture.
>normie radio shit parents listened to
>trance, dance
>nu metal, hard rock
>metalcore
>heavy metal, power metal
>prog
>death metal
>post-rock
>doom metal, stoner, psych
>synthwave
>black metal
Grew out of the edgy teenager """metal""" after I discovered proper metal (Iron Maiden in my case).
Now it's just all sorts of extreme music with the occasional less extreme genre.
Nice.
i started out listening to indie rock and folk. and all that chillwave shit
now i can't stand it.
same with majority of hip hop. besides 90s era and trap stuff. dislike kendrick
went from listening to Sup Forumscore, p4k approved bullshit like arcade fire, NMH, slint, pavement, AC etc to listening to top 40, bubblegum bass, future bass, etc
never looking back
For me it was:
>Childhood
The Offspring, Iron Maiden, Metallica, The Spice Girls
>Teens
Pop Punk, Nu Metal, Blink 182, Green Day, Limp Bizkit, Linkin Park, Eminem, etc...
>Early twenties
Metalcore, screamo, post-punk
>Now

Age 13: top 40

Jazz, Rock, Classical Music, a little bit of old school Rap
I don't come to Sup Forums often. A lot of the stuff I listen to 50+ years old.
There's a spectrum between pure music and poetry, and progression goes:
Classical/Instrumental Music -> Jazz -> Rock -> Rap/Other
I want different things for different occasions. Do I want to appreciate pure music? Do I want to hear a story? So I want related experiences recounted? I might turn on some Tchaikovsky, Duke Jordan, Morrissey, or Biggie. I tend towards the middle though, which are Jazz and Rock.
One thing though; I despise music the more vapid and personally unrelatable it is.
I've gone through a similar cycle 3 times over the past 20 years. It has nothing to do with taste or progress. Just mood.
I checked out Tyler the Creator because I know it's the kind of shit Sup Forums likes. Maybe it was good rap. Nah, he's pretty shite. He has one song I liked: 911, and it was derivative as fuck. It's a decent song, but it was riffing on Soul and RnB. I take it it was his attempt to appeal to a more diverse crowd rather than just hip-hop heads. The rap verses were meh. I'd rather listen to some good soul music than a rehashed hip-hop version.
what the fuck nigga
>Before 15
Whatever was popular
>15-16
Shitty teen metal, hardcore and hardstyle
>17-21
Started from hard trance and DnB, quickly evolved through all kinds of harder dance music types and plethora of psytrance subgenres. Also used some substances and had friends i havent socialized with for several years now.
>22
Weird hipster year, listened mainly pop and rock from 60s to 90s, also picked up classical music and started appreciating operas.
>23
Actually got into metal, started with power metal, trash and the big popular giants of heavy metal.
>24
Refined my metal tastes into death/black metal and all kinds of heavy metal.
>25 and onwards (28 now)
pretty much quit being a purist and having seasonal/progressive listening habits. Listening to all kinds of good music but my true passion is still in metal; metal and classical/operas are the only types of music i actually go listen live.

Now, I'm really into black, death, trad, and thrash for the most part, along with most of their subgenres and microgenres. Still a dadrock guy a bit. Love shoegaze but don't listen to a shit ton of it. Listening to more punk, a bit of crust but mostly punky metal.
