19-20

[nothing, was highly religious and stayed away from music]

0-9, nothing.

10, Jet Grind Radio

15, IDM

0-11 nothing really

12-13 Creed, hard rock/ nu-metal

14-metal/ mu-metal

16-metal, classical music, j-pop

18- folk, metal, classical, poppy hipster rocky folk stuff. Finally got into NiN

19-23- music in general, with the exception of hard rock/nu-metal and skrillex-style dubstep, which can all fuck right off

I've noticed that in the five years since graduating high school, I gravitate towards the more mellow side of things. Iron and Wine, the more melodic Autechre albums (tri rep, oversteps, Amber), SAW 85-92 and stuff like Balligomingo or Telepopmusik have dominated my listening tastes for the last few years.

I assume this is a reaction to the years in which all I listened to was the loudest, most abrasive metal I could find.

0-10 pop - mum and dads rock and roll / 70's 80's various bands

10-11 gatecrasher trance

11-14 nu-metal

14-16 drum and bass

16 - 18/19 IDM

19 - 23 techno

I grew up listening to my parents music

Around 6-7 i got into Pop / Rock / MTV - late 80's / early 90's

Around 10. I got into Rap / Hip Hop - this is during the 90's golden years of hip hop

about 14 - i was into some angsty rock music

16 probably like trance + cheese dance

17 big beat, breaks, drum & bass

18 idm / experimental electronics

0-12 whatever was on TV

12-15 became Aphex obsessed after seeing Come To Daddy late one night

15-17 discovered NIN and some shoegaze bands, currently into

ages 0 thru 11 = awesome shit

ages 12 thru 15 = shit

ages 16+ = awesome shit

shit untill someone sent me some shitmat and squarepusher then it got better

early age: anything similar to The Chemical Brothers

age (10-16): anything similar to Aphex Twin

now (18): anything instrumental, ambient-neoclassical and similar to aphex twin

all my life was electronic stuff, im proud.

very young, 70's pop and classical

a little older i used to listen to motown and golden oldies on the radio

then classic rock because that's what my step dad would always play on the radio

around grade 5 or 6 i started listening to alt rock and grunge on the radio

grade 8 or 9 started listening to techno and electronic stuff: orbital, chemical brothers, prodigy ,

fatboy slim

grade 10 aphex twin and then more and more in that direction

started appreciating silence (or rather, ambience) more and more as i grew up

We didn't listen to music in my house growing up. My parents spent the late 70s and early 80s in the middle east, so weren't really too up on pop culture. But my mum listened to Radio 2 every morning, so I would "wake up to Wogan" on the way to school each day.

I can't really remember what happened after that.
