How has your music habits changed since HS?

[The_Reaper]

I still listen to a lot of music, like I did in high school...Though, I would say my tastes have changed.

I used to listen to a lot of rock, techno/electronica in high school; now I'm more into alternative, folk and calmer forms of music.

I don't follow any bands religiously, though. But I am always on the look out for new music through radio stations and so forth.

In High School I was basically just listening to R&B then I opened up a bit and listened to House and Techno, then it expanded to Dance. Then I started listening to video game soundtracks, then movie scores. Then I fell in love with Classic Rock. It really grew and my range of genres exploded now my iPod is full of music from almost all genres EXCLUDING Country music, can't stand Country music.

They haven't. Like at all, really. Aside from the occasional song that catches my ear these days, I avoid most of the stuff that's out, and usually only end up hearing somehing I like by accident. I'm all about 90's Hip-Hop/R&B, and 80's pop music.

In My Freshmen Year I listened to a lot of Teen pop and RnB....But but in the Middle of my Sophmore Year I started Getting into Rock Music and I've been Mainly listening to Rock and Electronic Music ever since then.

In High School I would only listen to rock and metal. Now I listen to almost everything. So my taste in music has really evolved since then.

I've finally had a chance to listen to a lot of the music I always would have liked...


so I listen to a lot more music now, but my habits haven't really changed either if that makes any sense..

In HS I was lisening to only R&B and Hip Hop.Biggie,Nas,Lil Kim,Aaliyah,Jay-Z,Kanye and pretty much anything by Timbaland.

After HS I broadened my horizons.I've listened to less and less R&B.Hip Hop is now my main music.I've added more electronic and Rock music such as Santigold,M.I.A.,The Killers etc...

I also have become less snobby than I used too be.

In high school, I was never much into music. I guess I hadn't really found my 'sound'. I mostly listened to generic rock, and a bit of metal. I would never go out of my way to listen to it though.

That all changed when I discovered liquid drum and bass, melodic / progressive trance / house, ambient / minimal, liquid dubstep etc. and now you'll pretty much never find me without my headphones on. I'm currently listening to this;

And the drop at 1:30 takes me to another place. Liquid drum and bass is, without a doubt, the soundtrack to everything that is beautiful in the world. I can't even explain the feeling I get when I listen to it. I just know that I can't stop smiling, or reminiscing about good times in the past, or what good times await me in the future, both near and distant.

In high school, music meant nothing to me. Now, music is life.

I've never been heavily into music. I love it, of course, but it has never been a scene that I really follow or keep up with it. I listened almost to nothing but classic rock and 90s alternative in high school, but around the end of college, I got hooked on hip hop and have been ever since.

My high school music tastes spanned most, but were still devoid of country western (texas, alt, bakersfield), black, doom, crust, d-beat, sludge, new jazz, post-metal, minimal house, new classical (reich, sciarrino, stockhausen etc), ninjatune, chiptune, kraut, ag.

Now I can say my tastes cover something in every single specific genre.

Call me elitist but I've found that people who say they listen to "everything" really don't have a good understanding of what "everything" is.
