The biggest change for me was I started listening to the 90’s grunge stuff, after pretty much ignoring it in the 90’s. Also added a lot of obscure soul and r&b from the 60’s, Reggae, and some really old jazz...yeah, I’m all over the fucking board, always have been. I’d rather listen to Paul Revere and the Raiders or the Animals than most any metal. Love some of the old SoCal punk and ska as well.
10 years ago listened to metal and old country. Presently listen to metal and old country. Old country = Merle, Don Williams, Willie, Waylon and the boys.
I will say that I guilty pleasure 80s radio music now. Maybe I am getting old, but all that music I thought was for pussies in high school is now pretty cool. Prince, Men at Work, the Police, etc. Grundle and I like to swap old techno tracks to reminisce about peak drug usage for me and peak toilet usage for him.
Less hip hop, r&b, and rap. Actually, basically nothing new in those genres over the past 5 years outside of E40. Auto-tune and music made with beats and sounds that intentionally are attention grabbing ("millennial whoop" is a real thing) versus stuff that's creatively made has ruined the industry.
