Is your music taste now the same as when you were 14?
Is your music taste now the same as when you were 14?
14 me's music was more edgy and depressed than current me's music which is a hell of a lot less edgy.
For example I listened to a lot of Parachutes from Coldplay, Sleep Party People, Portishead, Radiohead, Bjork, and so forth when I was 14.
Now my tastes are broad and varied. Quite literally from Latin-American rap to more modern Indian social commentary and interpretive dance music, to even Indonesian City-pop, although I tend to listen mostly to Hoshimachi Suisei or Ado

I bet there's some kind of correlation between people on this website, growing through their teens and twenties (and thirties and forties etc), evolving sociopolitically, learning, becoming socialists and hopefully activists -- and seeing their music taste change as well.
Versus - liberal manchildren peaking at 14 and never growing in political beliefs. Never reading theory or thinking about the world -- and living in a blanket of comfort music from that time.
I don't know, or maybe I'm just being a leftwing "ackshually" style dork on this.
My move to the left and embrace of hip hop happened at the same time in my mid 20s, so it works for me. I also fell off with a lot of hard rock because it's too misogynist (though it's not like I avoid it all that much with hip hop, so I'm not sure what the lesson is here)
