Fun Stuff > BAND
Nurture or Nature, both, neither?
Merkava:
--- Quote from: Johnny C ---Am I like an isolated case here? I discovered indie music by accident, neither nature nor nurture, really; I just double clicked on something in KaZaA that sounded vaguely interesting ("Interpol? I wonder if that's some kind of techno or something!") and wound up as an Interpol fan. I went to the library and grabbed some random CDs two years ago in December to do a school project, and one of them happened to be Wilco. I researched these myself and wound up with a bunch of bands connected to them, some of whom I checked out, some of whom I didn't. Only about a year ago did I begin to actually pay attention to music press, forum recommendations, etc.
I think sometimes it might be a deeper thing, psychologically, than just what your parents listened to. It might have something to do with openess to new ideas in general.
But I may just be blowing smoke out my ass on that last bit.

That's pretty much how I got into it, except subsitute KaZaa for older sister and replace Interpol for Death Cab for Cutie.
Yeah, wierd. I do like guitar heroics, though, as my Dad most likely helped with. ;D

--- Quote from: zekterellium ---i think that, naturaly, human beings like all music and it's psychological short comings that stop us. like, when i play my friends white noise they say it's hideous and unlistenable, but it's scientifically proven to be relaxing and to make you feel safe. i think what get's them is they're too busy thinking "what the fuck? i'm listening to whitenoise." instead of concentrating on what they are listening to. i don't know, if you play a kid angry music they don't think anything of it, but when you play it to someone older they don't know what the fuck is going on, at least that's what i found. but yeah, this is a pretty good topic, i reckon it'll get dead interesting before too long.

I don't know about your main theory...following that, any band formed is good or at least worthy of being listened to, unless you meant any genre.

i think so. i can basically enjoy any song i hear if i make myself. the only things i can't stand are gabba and that akon song. i can even enjoy the darkness. but maybe i'm just being an idiot or reading too much into it? i don't know.
