Fun Stuff > BAND

Nurture or Nature, both, neither?

heretic:
yeah i was a goth kid when i was developing my first musical tastes. not so much because i was unhappy (usually i was pretty cheerful, especially when dressed goth) but because it facinated me. everything dark, occult or taboo facinates me to this day, but my musical taste has branched out. I'll still listen to a little otep or hatebreed when i want to run around wildly, but i don;t keep up with the metal scene as much as i'd like. i have a life outside of music that i really need to cut back on.

muffy:
I was exposed to heaps of stuff when I was younger, from classical, to pop, to indie, rock and most genres of modern dance stuff, but I fell in love with Joy Division's 'love will tear us apart' when I was two, and when I hit my teens got heavily into indie...I still listen to a lot of stuff from different genres now, but I feel like when I was a teen, I kind of set myself into a pattern. At the time, it didn't fit in to what my friends or family listened to, but mysteriously, a few of my friends started liking EXACTLY the same bands as me, and I know I've been influenced by my mates, and, more embaarassingly, the music press, but when it started, it was intuitive. I think time has made it more self conscious as the scenes around music tend to evolve, and also, when I was younger, it started to become part of my identity, so for a few years I was reluctant to move away from that, but now I'm a lot less bothered and a lot less self conscious. I hope.

Kelamin:
I think my taste in metal developed something like this

Prodigy -> Korn -> Rammstein -> Fear Factory

Kind of an odd start but it works for me

IronOxide:
My music taste has developed in a very mixed way.

My big brother wshowed me to ska, which I still listen to. He also exposed me to emo, Sum41, and Good Charlotte for a while, which I never liked.

My friend Bob exposed me to metal (Mudvayne etc.) which I never really liked.

My twin brother and I discovered Jazz by ourselves. (With a little help from our grandparents)

I discovered classical through my music theory class this year, and now I want it to be my major.

Billy Joel was of my own doing, although my mother's CD.

I discovered showtunes through the fun of the musical this year.

Finally, the Shins and Jack Johnson were shown to me by my sister.

I think that it's a very personal thing, the music  you listen to, and the stuff you listen to reflects your veunerability to the man. For examples, if you are a weak-minded angsty teenager, you will fall into good charlotte. If you are me, you don't give a damn, and if people don't like what you listen to, it's okay, they're not bad people for it, my friends and I just prod each other and constantly make fun of each other for what we listen to.

Kelamin, I would like to compliment you on your avatar. Dark Archons are freakin' metal.

La Creme:
I like that order thing, so I'ma do it

Indy wise: Weezer > Nirvana > Spoon > Eels > The Shins > The Sugarplastic > All else I listen to

Metal: Korn (comin' out of elementary) > SOAD > Slipknot > Static-X > Stone Sour > (suddenly started expanding my horizons along with all else.. might've been when I started playing jazz ) GWAR > ELP > Symphony-X > Assorted Prog

Jazz was just a complete jump from not liking it to liking it. Same with ska, etc. It's both nature and nurture, but our nature is built from the nurture, so essentially everything is all nurture.
