RE: How has your music taste evolved over time?
You are viewing a single comment's thread:
I've become way more open to all genres of music as I've gotten older, but metal will always have a place in my cold, dead heart :)
I'm exactly the same way. I do branch out and listen to some rap every now and then but metal is what I always return to. I think that for most people that the music they got into as a teenager will be the music they like the most for the rest of their lives.
But i suppose if we had to do a timeline for me it would be Glamrock in the 80's (because that's basically all there was) followed by an A-Ha / Depeche mode phase, which somehow lead me to the musical love of my life, which is metal. These days I have a hard time hearing about new stuff such as Slaughter To Prevail (which I had never heard of) so i'm glad you brought that up.
You know, I need to go back to posting those bangers for hive posts. They made me want to comb through music for an hour or two a week where I was finding lots of new stuff to jam to, and since I've stopped doing them I've been having a harder time finding stuff to check out.
Also, I'm kinda glad I was born in the 90's so I just got to have such a huge pool of diverse music options. I would have probably snorted toilet bowl cleaner if all I had to listen to was Dee Snyder, Poison and shit like that for an entire decade.
The 80's was a dark time for metal but we did get to experience the abrupt death of glam rock that dominated the scene. I remember when Appetite for Destruction came out and it lead to a quick death of the entire glam rock scene... only to be eliminated for the most part, itself by the emergence of grunge, and most notably Nirvana, in the early 90's.
80's music has a special place in my heart because whatever was popular when you were a kid is going to stick with you at least a little bit.
Yes, you should. Some of your suggestions back when you were doing those became a part of the regular rotation on my phone. I'm out of the loop as far as music is concerned because there is no metal scene in South East Asia for the most part. Therefore, I need more informed people like you to get new ideas.
