Mainly it's shifted backward and forwards between (fucking awesome) rock music from Bob Dylan to Black Sabbath to The Butthole Surfers and everything inbetween, and various shapes of electronic music. The Golden Age of hip-hop is when I realised I was obsessed with music, it was then when I started to morph into a record collector and staying up late to record radio programmes broadcasting early hip-hop and electro (Mike Allen anyone????)

Before all that I had one of these

lol, i thought that you were into winding sounds.

Hundreds of Rebirth 1.5 tracks shared online and Squarepusher. It's cliché to say, but I listen and have listened to a bit everything. The Rephlex/Warp/P-Mu stuff was the only musical 'scene' I followed closely. The 303, 808 and amen break will always tickle my gut neurons.

Yeah, fuck- huh? I forgot that ReBirth tracks used to be shared on Hotline. And MOD files. Even muthafuckin' MIDI tracks, wtf.

*blast from past* *can still hear login and other sounds from Hotline client*

9-11: Metallica

12-14: Sevendust, korn, NuMeTaLz***

14-15: Incubus

16-18: NIN and angry shit because I was a teen and everything was so terrible!

19-21: Post-rock, Prog, Oh hey what's that yer playin? It's like dance music or some shit!- oh wait that's kinda alright i guess....

22-now: BOC, AE, Electronic music, ambient (lots of Stars of the Lid and Eno)

Everything before 14 was The Who, Beach Boys, and Queen

14-15: NIN, Tool, Stabbing Westward

16-17: Pink Floyd

17-18: The Beatles, Jefferson Airplane, Cream, other 60's psychedelic music

18: Radiohead, Tom Waits, Sigor Ros, GY!BE, some electronic music

19-30: Ae, BOC, Aphex, Squarepusher, Amon Tobin, matmos, phonem, telefon tel aviv, lots of glitchy electronic music

most of my interests in electronic music started right when I got into Radiohead (Kid A just came out)

But really nine inch nails is what planted the seed. The remix albums with coil, etc

Plus I was given a Plaid CD and a Squarepusher EP from Trent Reznor outside his old New Orleans studio, though I didn't fully appreciate it until 2 years later

Ya, and I'm old enough to have gotten my intro to MIDI/MOD files via 300-baud BBS. Dial a phone (local only, I'm a kid and can't afford long distance), spend 5 minutes waiting for text and login, another 3 minutes finding a few dozen kilobytes to download, start the queue and come back an hour later to see if any are done yet.

Back in the day, I couldn't even imagine how fast the internet would become.... It's like imagining a 5 petabyte thumb drive nowadays. I once chatted a typo that my new DL speeds were above "50 kb/sec", when I meant to type 5. The thought of 50 was laughable, and my friend and I were cracking up hard! Oh, dear.....

5 petabyte thumb drives, here we come. And also- some music genre we cannot imagine now (possibly based on kneecaps).

0-9: whatever the parents listened to, including Tina Turner, Madonna, Fleetwood Mac, Elton John, Billy Joel, the Chariots of Fire soundtrack, mostly fucking Toto ber alles; and whatever kids at school thought was cool, including shit like New Kids on the Block.

10-11: paid more attention to my dad's hard rock stuff: zep, sabbath, Boston, deep purple, etc. Started listening heavily to Eric Johnson's Ah Via Musicom album and that got me into being an annoying guitar nerd.

12 - 14: got my own guitar, listened to lots of 70s guitar god rawk, and then into more of the 80s, early 90s shred stuff. Grunge hit big and I ignored it mostly, but got into pearl jam and a few others. Kind of never liked Nirvana.

Music scene was nonexistent where I grew up.

15-19: got into more and more proggy stuff, including prog metal like Dream Theater; also pre- black album Metallica. More thrash metal. Tool's Aenima album. Then got extremely interested in King Crimson in the later part of the 90s.

Something about KC and tool made me a lot less of a conservative dick about needing fast solos everywhere. Also (almost immediately) made me crave more abstract stuff.

Went out and bought lots of jazz, especially got into Bitches Brew. Also got into Zappa.

Started to appreciate the idea of ambient and electronic music but couldn't find anything actually good. Passing interest in Aphex Twin from MTV.

20-23: University in Boston. Napster. Everything. Radiohead. Death Metal. Aphex, Ae, Bjork. Mr Bungle and lots of it. lots of classical. Stravinsky as fuck. Sort of made friends IRL with Amanda Palmer for a minute. Isis. Neurosis. Godspeed. Sleepytime Gorilla Museum. Eno. Tortoise. The experimental rap that white people dig. Wrote senior thesis with Chiastic Slide and Arvo Part on repeat.

24-27: same trajectory as above, but broadening and narrowing as needed.

28-32: all Kylie Minogue, all the time.

I only listen to stockhausen or penderecki when I'm awake. If I'm sleeping I use a station randomizer on pandora and play that.
