How has your taste in music changed in the past ~10ish years?

- I used to hate country, now one of my favorite genres
- Grew up on grunge, don't care for it much anymore
- After years of arguing 2pac > biggy, I did a 180 and think Biggy is far and away superior

Nothing changed with me. Just got call from FRANNY 5 minutes ago and told me I was to show up in Maltby. If dad has stuff to do have him leave with you. I'll have Anna take me and Dad can leave with you.

My taste is pretty much the same. But my vinyl collection has about doubled and I finally embraced Spotify as well.
-
Added country music, mainly because I listen to the radio when I drive and can only get country stations clearly around here.
R&R is basically dead and country is closer to old R&R so it was easy to like
-
I’m more open to country, but I don’t hear much contemporary shit I like. Other than, my broad tastes haven’t changed too much since college.

- I also used to loathe country back in the day, mostly because I was a being a bratty, contrarian teenager who grew up in an agricultural community where it was played A LOT. Now I’ve grown to enjoy/appreciate it
- Went through an intense Britpop phase in high school - now the vocals grate on my ears and the lyrics sound pretentious as hell
- My tastes in my twenties to mid-thirties could be described as “KCMU/KEXP alternative indy rock”, but now I rarely listen to the station
- As a young girl I’d roll my eyes when Grandpa_de_Jour would turn on his “old people music” of jazz, swing, etc. Now I love it. He made me a bunch of mix CDs shortly before he died, and to this day those discs are some of my most prized possessions.

Still pretty much exclusively gangster rap and rap metal. Been listening to Backwordz pretty much non stop for several weeks.

Ps, I didn’t leave hip hop, it left me

I started to like heavy metal a little bit more. I always loved the progenitors, Led Zeppelin, Sabbath etc and caught onto some of the 90s stuff on the fringe of metal like Alice in Chains and Soundgarden much sooner. It was within the past 10 years that I gave the big boys of metal: Metallica, Slayer, Pantera, etc a chance and found a lot that I liked.
I've pretty much lost my taste for pure blues, ending about a 20 year phase. I'll take my blues exclusively with a healthy dose of over amped guitars, thumping base, drunken, coked up drummers and pig squeal feedback from now on.
My hatred for cuntry western, not to be confused with legit country, has never been stronger. -
I went from liking hardcore punk, grunge, metal and gangsta rap to listening to more varied rap, reggae, pop punk, folk punk. I also listen to a lot of foreign music. I speak French and Russian so I listen to some pop music from there. Mid 90s Euro dance music is solidly in the rotation.
I still like something with a lot of BPM and distorted chainsaw guitar, but a good melody is more appreciated. -
Ten years ago I didn't hate everything that had come out in the last ten years.

Watching the Netflix documentary series on Sinatra
The Throbber was born 35 years too late. Totally groove on Frank and the Brat Pack and all that Mad Men era excess.
Dig that crooner style and the orchestra backing tunes.
Wouldn’t have been caught dead listening to that in my 20’s. -

Amen. Anytime I listen to 90s Hip Hop I feel better. Those were the golden years IMHO.GrundleStiltzkin said:

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.
-
I added a lot of 70s-80s rock to my tastes. AC DC and Tom Petty in particular.
-
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.
