The Glade 4.0

I've noticed that I no longer have the same taste in music that I did when I was a young child. Back then, I liked things that were new at the time and popular with my age group. But as I got older, I noticed that I don't like that **** anymore. At all. I like the music my parents made me listen to on car rides, the stuff that was popular when they were young(essentially stuff from the 60s and 70s). So, do you have the same taste in music as your parents, or do you actually like music that was new and popular when you were younger?

Side note, all of that crappy music I liked in the 90s is still in my head and I catch my self singing along with songs I used to like but don't anymore. And I hate it. I wish I could turn that part of my brain off. =(

Mostly the same, except that I haven't stopped liking 'my' music. I just started appreciating my mothers music in addition to the stuff I listen to.

Just the opposite. I listened more to music my parents grew up on (although not even they listened to it anymore at the time) and I tended to not listen to music as much from my generation other than what the local rock station would play.

It's really only through watching old Beavis and Butthead episodes while I do my coding that I started to discover the awesomeness of a lot of old bands (good grief, 80's and 90's is old now) I never gave a chance. So much good music came out of the grunge era and a goodly amount of it wasn't even grunge.

A few choice songs from what my parents listened to, but mainly my own stuff (pretty sure my parents didnt listen to JPOP/anime music lol)

I have a lot of the same experience.

Much of the "pop" music I liked as a kid, I can't stand anymore.
And, like you, I find myself loving a lot of music that is older than I am. Some stuff I couldn't stand as a kid now is on my regular playlists.
However, music that I liked as a kid, which outlived its era and became considered classic in its own right? I tend to still love it. There's usually a reason it became "classic."

I can always go back to the stuff I listened to as a kid, or some throw backs from my mom, but I mostly listen to new music. There's always something new and good to listen to.

I go back and listen to the stuff from college every so often, but for the most part these days if it's not country, I don't listen to it.

I've always liked the stuff (mostly my Dad) listened to. Three Dog Night, Simon and Garfunkel, Paul Simon, stuff like that. That's what I listened to in high school, and it was college that found me finally "discovering" what my peers listened to and backfilling my 90's repertoire. Then, I got out of college and stopped really seeking out new music. I listen to the radio or what some folks recommend, and pick up maybe a new album or three a year.

When I was very young, my parents occasionally listened to old R&B and old rock, which I immediately loved. But mostly, my father listened to country music, which my mother also enjoyed. I never cared for most of it. In fact, generally speaking, there are two music genre that I could completely do without forever: Country and Rap. I dislike 99.9999% of anything related to them. They are not pleasing to my ear.

My first love is probably instrumental jazz. I love what would be labeled latin jazz, most.
I do still like to listen to old rock, R&B, soul. Most of the music that came out in the 90's and beyond, didn't do much for me. I do love certain artists that come from that era, but the stuff that played on the radio? Hardly.

Back in the day of peer pressure, I did listen to stupid hair bands and heavy metal. I do not anymore. It's an era I look back on with disdain, musically speaking.

My taste has mostly changed over the years to music that is calmer and softer and more delicate. I don't care for much music that screams at me, anymore. Of course, I'm also getting near 50 years old now. So that probably has something to do with it.

I have always liked my Parents Music: Neil Diamond, Grand Funk Railroad, AC/DC. But I have never lost my love for Slayer, Carcass, or the heavy ****. I even like some of the new heavy ****. But not too much.

My mother's music still has a lasting attraction for me. My father's music too, though not as heavily. They had different tastes but they could dance to anything.

My own tastes developed over time and neither of them really understood why I liked what I do. I'm comfortable listening to a very wide range of genres, but sorry DS, most heavy metal just annoys the blazed out of me.

Grew up listening to oldies, then classic rock as a teen. '60s and '70s rock is still "my" music. There's a lot of '90s stuff that I listened to (some willingly, some by virtue of osmosis) in high school that I can revisit with nostalgia. There's a lot of great modern music, you just have to know where to look.
