When we were young

[Sparky]

When i was 10 I used to hate rap, it was too fast for me and i couldnt understand it and frankly didnt want to. I remember telling a friend to "Shoot" me if i ever listend to it. three years later Eminem relised the song With out Me. I dont know what it was about that song but i loved it and wanted more. ever since then Rap has always been my favourite music genre. Another is not a style but a band, Disturbed. I remember three years ago hearing a friend listening to them and wondering why on earth anybody could listen to such a band. Again until i heard the song Inside the fire last week. for the last week they have been my favourite band and i have spent the whole week looking for tracks from them and i have liked everyone i have found. I dont know What it is that makes people taste of Music change but it almost always does. What is the music you used to listen to when you was younger but wont now? ( of course the Wiggles ect.. dont count )

I would never listen to Rock music. I still now, hate the heavy stuff that is literally shouting with no singing involved. But I thought that was what the whole genre of rock was about. I know now I was mistaken, and love many rock songs.

When I was younger I was completely in love with the generic boy bands such as Boyzone, Five etc. Now I hear some of their stuff and it literally makes me cringe. It's such awful cheesy stuff that I can't quite comprehend ever enjoying it.

I'm still young though lol.
I'm sort of like u. I used to hate rap but when i heard Eminem's Stan i started to like it. For me, it depends whether the rap is sung passionately or if its catchy.
I heard Disturbed's Stricken and thought that it was an awesome song. I go and download the rest of their songs and i hate every one of them lol.
I used to hate metal but now i love it, bands like Bullet For My Valentine and Fear Factory. I guess that your taste in music changes as u get older.

I definitely have changed a lot over the years. I used to hate rock, and now it's all I'll listen to. Also in a strange twist, I used to hate the sound of pop/boy band stuff, but the other night a friend of mine and I were hanging out and she found some old N'Sync, Backstreet Boys, 98 Degrees, Brittney Spears and Christina Aguliera cds and we wound up singing just about every song in bad karaoke. I think it's just the nostalgia of it all as when I was younger, those bands and singers ruled the freaking world. They don't have a thing on rock to me, but singing along with those songs that I knew every word to was the most fun I've had in years. We even knew the stupid dances that went with them.

Yep I can totally understand the votes for the boy bands, I remember fondly The Backstreet Boys, 5ive, Nsync and thought they were brilliant. I remember when Britney, Christina, Jessica and Mandy when they were virgins but I thought they were just the best things ever and when I hear them come on the radio, well I still turn them up and sing along and have a good laugh.

But I used to love country music, cant stand it now and find it kinda sad when I go out home and there is the show on or when I go back to the pub and all you can hear is Country. Call me a snob but whatever.
and I used to hate rock music but now I can appreciate it a bit now and dont mind listening to it.

But I suppose it happens to all and like sands through an hour glass, so are the days of our lives

When I was a kid in the 80's, looking back music seemed to go through a period of mass commercialisation with the realisation by record companies that they didn't need to invest years in an act to make money and formulaic music fronted by pretty people and made by back room producers with emerging new technologies could bring large profits very quiclkly. Coming of age in the late 80's for me and a lot of youth in the UK brought about a very forceful shift over to the acid house and then rave scene, music produced with the same technology as the factory line commericial stuff but with a different purpose. I lived by this and at the time thought it would be my life for ever more but come the early to mid 90's I began to really get bugged by the mindlessness of the music and went through a period where I thought I actually didn't like music anymore because I couldn't find any music I liked outside of certain eras of Pink Floyd and The Orb. Luckly I discover a friends mother's vinyl collection from the 60s/70s and suddenly found psychedelic rock music with thought provoking lyrics. The idea of guitar music with philosophical content was something a few years previously I never would have even entertained. It went from being solely about the music, the being largely about the lyrics. I suppose maybe body to mind.

When I was about 12 I hated Marilyn Manson, my friend showed me his DVD of Guns, God and Government and I don't know why I just didn't like him. At the time I was mainly into the whole RNB thing. I hated Rock

Now I am 17 and I HATE RNB, Rap, Hip Hop etc and Marilyn Manson is one of my faveourites and he is one of the only two bands I want to see before I die. Marilyn Manson is one of the most creative people in music as he is a director and he can paint very well. Probably sounds weird but he is one of the people I look up to because he is not afraid to be himself, he is not afraid to dress differently and he is not afraid to say whatever he wants. to say

Country Music. When I was young 5-7, it was all I listend to. My sisters listened to rock, rap, and such and I hated it. Shania Twain & Garth Brooks were my favorites but for some reason I began listening to top 40 radio and I started to hate country. I still dont like country alot but their are a few songs/artists I'll listen to, but nothing like when I was young.

 

[Faulkner91]

when i was younger all I liked was country music, the stupid boy bands and Eminem, but as i grown up i laugh at myself for ever listening to that music. Now I only listen to mostly rock and metal such as Megadeth, Pantera, Iron Maiden, Black Sabbath and the Who.

Hehe I used to be a big David Hasselhoff Fan (no kidding) - but well, I guess I was about 6 at the time muahaha; and Austrian, and you all know how big The Hoff was in the 80ies/early 90ies in Germany hehe.

But when I grew older I started to get interested in "real" music, but the pop scene just didn't do it for me. I remember I got my first CD player for my 10th birthday, and along with it I bought as my first CD ever - Bruce Springsteen's Greatest Hits, and I've been a Rock head ever since.
Things that followed were a lot of 70ies classic Rock stuff, Deep Purple, Uriah Heep, Jethro Tull, Black Sabbath, Led Zep, Queen and stuff like that... until at some later point I got into Metallica, which was my first "metal" band... and then even later I discovered the beautiful genre of "Melodic Power Metal" through bands such as Hammerfall, Stratovarius, Edguy or Helloween, and I've been addicted ever since heh.

But I listen to pretty much everything every once in awhile - Classical/Opera as well as some Country, "normal" Rock/Pop, the occasional Jazz or Blues thing... however, I just can't seem to get into Hip Hop / R'n'B all that much, and the really "hard" metal stuff (Black Metal, Death Metal) I don't enjoy too much either. But as said - every now and then, I'll listen to pretty much everything.
