Your Original Trend

Tago Mago:
It was goth. I was never into the fashion, but the music was a revelation. Sure, at first I didn't get much further than NIN, Manson, Tool, Smashing Pumpkins, but as an insecure young 9th grader, those bands were blissful rebellion. After that came my prog-rock phase, my indie-rock phase, and right now I'm into a little bit of lots of things. Those original alt-rock bands definitely sound pretty immature and not the least bit threatening now, but I do credit them with having spurred my appreciation for fringe music.

ForteBass:
There really needs to be an option of "Hepcat" for us jazz kids.

Tartar Martyr:
all I listened to in high school was 311, Pavement, Charlie Parker and Duke Ellington... seriously.

a pack of wolves:
I suppose I started as an indie kid, but it didn't really effect the way I dressed or acted. But I took a distinct pleasure in liking obscure bands (I'm always a little amazed that some people my age are still doing something I grew out of when I was 14) and I used to listen to Lamacq and Peel a lot so I guess I fit the category. But then I came across punk rock and acquired spiky blue hair and NOFX records and that's when I first really identified with a genre. That ended when I got to sixth form and started to get really interested in hardcore, which had previously only formed a small part of my listening. The politics, aesthetic and of course the music started to appeal much more than the far more day-glow (and admittedly often much more shallow) sounds of my punk rock years and these days I'm thoroughly immersed in the culture. Not that this excludes other music of course. In fact, in my experience hardcore kids tend to be the more broad-minded than the average music fan.

Poke:
It's hard to admit now... but I picked metalhead. Now that I have way moved on past that (it didn't even last a year.. I was a freshman who just discovered metal), I realize how little I even knew about it and how bad most of the music I listened to was.

I hadn't ever really been into music, but I had a boyfriend who was all about Acid Bath and Slipknot and I got to where I really liked them both and started listening to everything from System of a Down to Megadeath and In Flames. I discovered some really good tunes at that time, like The Gathering, but I sorta dressed a little poser-y (my "bad boy" boyfriend didn't like it that I was one of those "smart kids" who dressed like a preppy) with my plaid skirts, black band shirts, and combat boots. It didn't last long, and I've never really stuck much to a specific trend since that... but I am alot more indie/hippy than anything else now.
