I never really branched outside those boxes. Both because I was hardly ever exposed to things different, and because I really did enjoy the music (still do actually).<br /><br />It wasn't until around high school that I began to explore music a bit more. I think it came from the fact that I started driving, and thus had complete control over the radio and could crank up whatever and sing along to my heart's content. And, like yourself, there are songs that I will sing along to every time, but would not consider them songs I like.<br /><br />Now, I find that I have a strangely eclectic taste in music. Though I must say, I continue to find that I am really influenced by what the people around me listen to, merely because it exposes me to different tastes.<br /><br />When I put my iPod on Shuffle, I get an interesting mix of things like Garth Brooks, Linkin Park, Frank Sinatra, Patsy Cline, etc.Stefaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13672907174872765396noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27945613.post-37037011163609383432012-01-13T23:03:20.530-07:002012-01-13T23:03:20.530-07:00If you spent any time listening to contemporary ra...If you spent any time listening to contemporary radio country music, you would realize that Garth Brooks is a fucking genius producer of incredibly good music of this type. Driving halfway across the country and back, forced to listen to the radio because the CD player was busted, it was bliss to find an 80s/90s "classic" country music station that played Garth Brooks.<br /><br />I suspect that identity-by-taste peaks in that 13-25 ish age range. I think I have more of it than you do at this point (though maybe that's just because my taste is better - heh heh). I think my music preferences/judgments have loosened a bit but not a lot, though I too am more inclined to deem music as "good/appropriate for the context" than I used to be.Sallyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15376389949707679077noreply@blogger.com
