-- Music taste over the years

Music taste over the years

My music taste has changed quite considerably over recent years but the thing that makes me most curious is why i can't look back on a certain phase of musical taste.

For example my taste follows a path like this:

Trance/Hard House > Techno > Progressive > House > Techno > Minimal/Electro

I can't even bring myself to listen to much (ok there are the odd exceptions with my absolute favourite tracks) of what I used to listen to. I like my music a bit too upto date maybe.

Has anyone else got this problem and know why they cant look back through the years at their old music taste?

It's pretty easy isn't it; your tastes have changed, you don't like what you used to. And you certainly don't listen to music you don't like do you?

OLD!

But basically my taste went like this:

Euro -> Epic -> Non-epic -> Psy -> Goa -> Downbeat/ambient.

I bet a lot of people's lists will start out like that, mine certainly does. I think i'm currently in the non-epic -> psy phase

over the last years something like this...

99% goa/psy -> trance -> progressive -> techno & house -> everything

don't mean to be a nazi, but he didn't ask for peoples lists?

Picotto -> Psy -> Epic -> Funky House -> House -> Prog -> Tech -> techno - > psy

now its just a blur of the last 4

I find it funny how you differentiate between psy and goa.

cheese-> trance -> Progressive trance -> electro -> progressive house / soundtracky

I only do it because they're two different genres.

actually a true music fan will always have a place in his heart for his history & what he's grown up on, and while not being into the newer stuff from the genres will never 'not' listen to things, it smells a bit too much of what many people do, which is pretty much hump whatevers cool then turn their back on it when something else comes along that's cooler.

while we're on that note.

disco/old rock > dance/euro > jungle/hardcore (oldskool) > hardcore/trancecore > trance (with mixings of club, house & hardhouse) > techno/psy/goa/ambient/chillout

however I still listen to whatever I want to regardless of how old it is. once a good track, always a good track.

classic rock > metal > rock > pop rock > rap > techno > house > trance > hard trance > trance > almost everything

I really like most kinds of music

I never said that I never listen to any old stuff, only the true great tracks that deserved to be listened to. Basicly theres a lot of shite I've thankfully grown out of. Your a true music fan I suppose/ Whereas i'm not? Is that your general argument? I neither jump on any badnwagons because its cool if i did that i'd have an emo fringe.

Agreed on this. I still whip out some of my old euro albums like 2 Unlimted and Snap! whenever I'm in the mood without a hint of shame. And even music before the Great Electronic Renaissance, I still listen to (well, except for Raffi, of course). I guess it helps I was into stuff like The Police, Boney M, The Beach Boys, and Tears For Fears for a good chunk of my childhood, music that doesn't seem to age at all.

I may not listen to some albums as frequently as others, of course, but that doesn't mean I still don't enjoy the stuff coming out of a Type O Negative or Tea Party or Bone Thugs-N-Harmony release the odd time I do throw it on.

However, that one I.C.P. album...

similar to mine...

slow rock> metal> Hip-Hop/rap > EDM (hell, i wasnt sure wat i was listening to) > Trance/House/Hardhouse/Techno..


for me, trance is the BIGGEST by far. in the last group, but i listen to a bit of everything else.

I really don't wanna loose the love of trance .. i'm happy to spread my wings slowly, and not loose the emotion and feeling i get from trance...

I'd hate for that to happen. BUt I still want to experience other genres and "expand".
