...that i went through phases of music most people went through in around 15 years in like 4?
Example - Age 15, a guy'smfavorite band is The Devil Wears Prada, Bring Me The Horizon, and other scene bands. As they get older, they discover In Flames. By 21 or so, they have moved onto "true" metal like Death, Suffocation etc. Then, in another 5-10 years, they start to enjoy more "arty" forms of metal and expand their tastes.. By another 5 years or so, they have moved on to different forms of Rock.
Just an example of many people's musical tastes and how they progress. Not saying everyone is like this, but from what i read, people start liking shitty music, then move on to metal, then to softer music as they get older.
Now, take a look at me;
5th grade - discovered Bullet For My Valentine, and they became one of my favorite bands. The next year or so, I was listening to Underoath, TDWP, BMTH and other "scene" bands, mostly christian. Then, in 6th grade, my brother gave me a cd for In Flame's Lunar Strain and it blew my mind. I loved it. This took me to bands like Death and other melodic death bands, though I still listened to scene music. By 7th grade, I was all into proggy, fusion death metal, and techinical shit like Cynic, Atheist, and Necrophagist, and also still Death. End of 7th, I dabbled in hip hop like biggie and tupac but not much. 8th Grade, Death and most melodeath/prog death were still my favorite bands, and it continued this way until the end of 8th grade and in summer, when i started a Sublime phase. This was around the time I had tried weed and started smoking it on a semi-regular basis. Over the beginning of summer, I was basically listening to straight Ska, Reggae, Sublime shit etc because it was good beach music and great vibes for summer and for being baked (x Great memories. Then, towards the end of summer, went into a brief older Foo Fighters phase, then started listening to Pink Floyd which brought me into my psychedelic rock phase. Over the next few months, that was all i listened too besides the occasional Mastodon, Tool, and, rarely, Death. I also went into a very long Beatles phase, and listened to them straight through the month of December 2010. Now, I am still in my psych rock phase and I am beginning to find I have found my genre, finally. I just find it funny that I grew out of metal so quickly before most even get into it. The point of this thread? I have no fucking idea, just felt compelled to post for some reason. Carry on, gentlemen
