does it stay the same

[wolverine]

Do you still listen to the same type music as you did when you were a teenager? Or have your tastes changed?

My taste has changed. I am no longer caught up in trends. AI loved grunge when it came out. I never got into any pop music though, but now I find myself liking anything that is unpopular. I have always been a metalhead, but since the metal scene has turned to rap-metal(Linkin Park) or whiney metal (Limp Bizkit, Korn) I have turned my attention to punk. Punk will never be mainstream, the bands I like will always feel like they are mine alone. I was a big Metallica fan, still am to some degree, but when they broke through I hated to see girls I went to skool with wear Metallica t-shirts after they turned there noses to them before. I just went off on a totally tangent, sorry.

But anyway, I still listen to some bands I did in high skool (mind you I'm only 26), but I don't mosh it up anymore. I feel a little too old to do that. Maybe I'm not, but i like to sit back and watcht he band now. Although when the right band comes along I am right in the middle, ie. Slayer. I still like the hard stuff, but I have allowed some music into my rotation I never would had a few years ago, ie. Dido, Sade.

A lot is the same. I was big into metal in high school. Maiden, Ozzy, Dio. But like Gutter, if they got TOO popular...they lost something. I hated it when Queensryche was all over MTV.

Lately I've been digging stuff like Collective Soul. I'm not into NU-METAL. I couldn't adapt.

I went to high school in the 80's. I never like that crap then and I don't like it now. I grew up on "classic rock" -- not of my own choosing, I had brothers that listened to Zep, the Who, Cream, the Yardbirds, the Stones, etc. Pink Floyd was always a fave -- still is. I was way into Rush, but alas, I'm not permitted to listen to it very much because nobody else likes it. Oh well.

My musical interests HAVE changed a bit, but really, I tend to think my tastes have stayed pretty constant and the music being put out either is what I like or it's not. In the 90's, there was lots to choose from. Before, then not a lot. Now, not a lot either.

I have recognized, tho, that there are different types of music for different purposes. My "listening to" music is one thing, but when hanging out with folks, you need something else -- generally something not very aggressive. Music for a party is a whole different thing as well -- it's nothing I'd like to just sit down and listen to, but it IS something I'd like to have playing in the background with a bunch of people over getting drunk.

Overall I like laid back music. I can get into hard rock but not metal, I generally go for the laid back pop rather than the dance groove, the groove R&B rather than the up tempo, the ballad rather than the fad. So that won't often change.

i've heard that the music you liked in high school/college is the kind of music that you like the rest of your life.

i'm glad i listened to a lot of different music during those years because i'd hate to be stuck with only pop or country or salsa the rest of my life. :)

Dido is cool.

And to quote the title of this thread, does it stay the same, for most it does. But for Larry, it takes a sharp curve to the right.:D :D :D

Oh yeah...big time

In Junior High is was R&B (New Edition) then in High School I became alternative mad man (311) and now in college it's a bit of everything.

it's to the left. and it's not really a curve as much as it's just a directional shift at the base.

like if you thought of normal being 0 degrees and all the way to the right being 90 degrees, all the way to the left being -90 degrees, then it's about -20.

I have seen it all now.

Here we are using geometry to discuss the curvature of Larry's dick in a thread about musical tastes. Let me dig out my protractor.

Only in America - This Board Rocks!

:D :D :cool:

[LarryD]

it's not curved. it's a straight angle.

:)

[wossa]

whatever... :)

There was a crooked man and he walked a crooked mile...

damn now I'm going to have that nursery rhyme in my head all day...

I can get into Dido. I don't listen to Thank You much because it's been done a billion times but most of the album tracks are decent.
