I still have nostalgia for stuff I listened to at 14. But I would say my music tastes solidified more around the age of 25. Fairly broad tastes in music depending on my mood. It’s easier to list bands and music I hate than everything I like. I suspect a lot of people are the same.
See their point

I didn’t even start listening to music until I was already an adult.

Pretty sure this isn’t true for most people. I don’t listen to anything that I did as a teenager anymore. Sure, if I do hear some song from back then it’s nostalgic and I do put on a song now and then, mostly at parties when the topic comes up or you know others there would like it but it’s very much not part of my daily listening. And I feel the same kind of nostalgia for things I listened to in my 20s that aren’t part of my current tastes. But I never put on whole albums or playlists of just bands and songs from then. I’m certain that most of the music I listen to now would have been liked by my teenage self though, just hadn’t explored and expanded my taste and knowledge as much.

Add 7 years and I can see it.

This may be why my sister is into competitive band ‘music’ (I mean the sort schools do, with lots of brass and drums).
I just can’t fathom it. I worked in an instrument shop, and it all sounds like if a van plowed into our stock room to me.

I listened to exclusively pop radio country, contemporary christian music of the 90s, and classical.
I’ll still indulge a little outlaw country now and then, but now it’s a wide and eclectic variety of everything from black metal to experimental electronica, from Croatian street musicians to African folk songs, and nearly anything else someone suggests to me. Starve your curious kid of taste and when they’re an adult, they may want a bite of everything.

I still have love for 3 Dollar Bill Yall and Life is Peachy. But I don’t touch numetal as a genre at all anymore. Once I started to get into Staind and Disturbed or just hearing Nookie… no thanks. An older friend introduced me to Ska and Punk and I’m so glad he did.

My music taste has expanded and changed quite a bit since I was in HS. Some of the things I liked then still hold up, but I would NOT have liked the things I do now when I was in highschool.

Guys hi, just looking for some support share, a Fantasy Adventure Story, for all ages and just some entertain with some storyes: www.youtube.com/watch?v=_mVIvQ1wsgg - maybe you are curious

This take is for people that primarily listen to pop music (of any genre, pop rock, pop punk. Stuff that is on the radio). Which is a huge amount of people. But it is unsurprising that on a niche community-based website like Lemmy, where a lot of people probably have an artistic tinge to them, that a bunch of you have a much more involved and active music discovery experience.

Nope. What I listened to at 14 is whatever was in the radio on the car, usually oldies. Which I never really cared for. I didn’t care about or start developing my own musical tastes until my 20s.

I stumbled upon I checked your cellphone by Otoboke Beaver. Maybe there is some resemblance to I-E-A-I-A-I-O by System of a Down. Maybe the authors in the screenshot peaked musically at 14. I stumble upon new great music all the time.

Some of the music I liked in my teens still sounds great. But definitely not all of it. Most of the music I love now would have been completely unavailable to me in the 70s and 80s. It took streaming music and algorithms to introduce me to the music of West Africa. So many amazing musicians in that part of the world, and I never even knew it existed.

I did for a long time but have since moved on to listening to pretty much anything.

Tbh I don’t think I actually listened to music at that age, of my own accord rather than hearing what someone else around had on anyway.

Nope! I listened to rap and metal when I was in school. Now, I listen only to Colundi.
modus@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Never heard of it. Sounds like good workout music.

It’s good work music; I listen to it all day every day at my job.If you’re actually interested, I will gladly gush about it!

I can’t even listen to the music I liked 2 years ago. There’s this brazillian genre called funk that I really like mainly because it’s keep evolving pretty fast.

I feel like I’d be embarrassed to still listen to the same music I listened to at 14. 14 year old me didn’t have terrible taste, but goddamn there has been so much music since. I’m nearing 40 and I’m still finding new and more interesting or challenging music to listen to
Whats_your_reasoning@lemmy.world 2 months ago
I absolutely still listen to the same music I listened to at 14. There was a period in my young adulthood where I absolutely hated all popular music. However, that period passed. I’m now in my mid-30s and find even those songs enjoyable. I don’t know if it’s maturity, the improvement in my mental health, having access to anti-depressants, or a mix of the above.

I listen to stuff from the early 90s to remember my youth, for instance the first school trip I listened to a tape with Twenty 4 Seven - Street Moves when I got homesick.

My daughter listens to music while brushing teeth as a form of pleasant timer. We have been through the entire Weird Al discography (but had to listen to a few of the longer ones when not brushing teeth). Teenage me would approve.
