Who or what formed your music taste?

My parents before my childhood went to shit, then I discovered Pink Floyd and then Yea Forums. Also this:

There's this one riff that I've found in five or six songs that I am in love with. I think it is the best riff. It's rare but it's the best. It has to be in B flat minor and it has to be a pretty uptempo song to get it right, but it's glorious. When I find a track with this melody, I usually end up downloading the artist's discography out of love.

My Lord and savior *Jesus Christ*

post a song with the riff user

I don't see how the scale should matter other than it being a minor scale. If you were to play this riff in any other key, it would sound basically the same because keys don't matter nearly as much as intervals within scales, other than comparing major, minor, melodic minor, etc., and key changes. If you can find a song with the same intervals in a different minor key it should strike the same chord with you.

i hung out with a guy who listened to a lot of dadrock shit so i had a le wrong generation phase for a while
then i started browing Yea Forums and smoking dude weed lmao which opened me up to a lot more styles

Yea Forums

Nothing with the mouth, but they fuck me in the ass.

My uncle introduced me into hard rock and trad heavy and i loved it, then i explored the extreme side of metal and now I'm a metalhead.

my music taste was mostly formed by either the high energy tracks i would listen to while gaming, or the shit i'd listen to when horribly depressed (techno and emo/metal)

im an autist who relates more to computers than people so i listen to a lot of IDM and ambient electronic

jsyk almost all of you guys are describing what formed your musical preferences, not your musical taste

youtube-reccomended core is the best genre

My dad was into new wave and rock bands like Ian Dury, The Proclaimers, Little Richard, and Jesus Jones.

When I was 8-9 I liked pop bands like Hanson and Eiffel 65. I remember seeing Fiona Apple, Marilyn Manson, Snoop Dogg, and Twisted Sister on MTV and being very interested, despite not really getting it.

Around the time I started middle school, at age 10-11, I remember discovering blink-182 and finding it really exciting. That led me to Sum 41 and Green Day. I also liked other vaguely alternative bands like Gorillaz and OutKast. At the end of middle school the "garage rock revival" happened and I loved The White Stripes, The Vines, The Hives, and Yeah Yeah Yeahs.

In high school I started getting into the "classic" rock bands like Bob Dylan and The Who. Then I got really into the more off-the-wall early and proto-punk bands, like Richard Hell & The Voidoids, The Stooges, Captain Beefheart, The Monks, X-Ray Spex, Patti Smith, DNA, and Roxy Music. This led me to the noisier post-punk and industrial bands like The Jesus and Mary Chain and Einstürzende Neubauten.

In college I started digging into heavier, more post-hardcore stuff like Rites of Spring, i hate myself, Knapsack, Cap'n Jazz, Amebix, Touché Amoré, The Wedding Present, etc. I sought out bands with the same dark, imaginative focus of Amebix, and it led me to crust bands like His Hero is Gone, Fall of Efrafa, Martyrdöd, Napalm Death, and so on. I'd always had some interest in black metal and even in high school I really liked bands like Rotting Christ, but being into crust made a really good transition point to get into extreme metal, with starting points like Behemoth, Panopticon, Eyehategod, Archgoat, Godflesh, Oathbreaker, and At the Gates. I'd also always had some interest in jazz and as a teen dabbled with people like John Coltrane, but I remember having my mind blown by Charles Mingus and Jaimeo Brown, and using that to jump into hard bop stuff like Art Blakey, Wayne Shorter, Miles Davis, etc.

...

I'm more writing it for myself. Though when other people write about this stuff, I often find it interesting.

i skimmed it

my hillbilly dad got me into johnny horton, the Wolfe Tones Marty Robbins & Charley Pride. My brothers got me into System of a Down and the Pogues.

Dude Rock band 1 was incredibly based

>I formed my own music tastes!!!
>lists some of the most widely talked about bands

My first girlfriend, I didn't really start listening to music until I was 12 or 13, and I pretended to listen to all the bands she liked and eventually after forcing myself to listen to them realized she had amazing taste. I grew out of a lot of it but bands like mayday parade are still some of my favorites.

it was the logical step from guitar hero 3
rock band was also the last good rock rhythm game

My dad

In my childhood my cousins would always play, A7X, Linkin Park and MCR. Shit like that then In my teens I devloped my sense of taste when I discovered Bob Dylan, Leonard Cohen, The Beatles, Velvet Underground etc.

Fuck yeah the first rock band is the perfect soundtrack for intro to Alternative/Indie Rock. It got me into Radiohead, Pixies, Flaming Lips plus that Outlaws song is fucking awesome and fun to play

This and the sequel sparked my interest in music as a kid.

>THUG2 soundtrack

Based.

listening to classic rock on the radio with my mom as a kid and gravitating towards the "weirder" stuff like "Bohemian Rhapsody" and "Ballroom Blitz", then hearing Nirvana on the radio around 12 and when i finally got a phone, researching the shit out of them and finding out every single fact i could about them and collecting every CD of theirs, then getting into more grunge, then discovering the Pixies, then Beck, then my music taste started really evolving becoming more eclectic. then at 16 my favorite albums were literally all Yea Forumscore and i didn't even know it and my friend told me about Yea Forums and now here i am listening to my all time favorite band, the Beach Boys :)

I became friends with a guy who was super into classic rock, thrash and heavy metal in middle school: Metallica, Black Sabbath, Led Zeppelin, Megadeth, Iron Maiden, etc. I listened to mostly metal until I moved away in my third high school year where I became friends with a guy who was mostly into folk and art rock: Bob Dylan, Radiohead, Arcade Fire, Elliot Smith, and such and such. Then I started lurking here during my second year of college and listened to the Yea Forums essentials and had a black metal, an IDM, and a krautrock phase. Nowadays I listen to all of that, it just depends on the mood but I'm mostly into noise rock, psych rock, and post-punk.

Listened to nothing but hardcore punk and associated genres until I was in high school, when I started smoking weed and grew a taste for 60's psychedelia.

My dad. I love my dad, he's a great guy.

THPS4 + THUG2 + buying a guitar + autism + depression = how I got my taste

Alt, punk, garage rock, and ska from my parents, swing and similar from grandparents+Looney Toons, 90s electronica from games of the era, and all sorts of orphaned niche tastes from flash videos in the 2000-2005 hayday.

Me, I didn't know what I liked was "Downtempo" until I realized almost everything I gravitated toward was slow and heavy. The only other stuff I listen to that isn't is super techcnical super fast shit or a combination of the two.

Unironically listening to sgt peppers and realizing everything I heard before then was shit, went to Yea Forums found the core chart and started binging.
I don’t even like sgt peppers anymore

Definitely my father, he listens to some of the most dad of dad rock you can think of. I'm talking classic 70s-80s rock, Deep Tracks on XM Radio, Duane Allman, Dire Straits, Youngbloods, etc. My taste in rock music (mostly in modern stuff) comes from him.

Youtube is also an influence since I could find whatever band from mainstream to obscure on there.

My taste in hip-hop started from friends I had in middle and high school and my twin sister. My friends were big Odd Future, Bones, and Danny Brown fans and I blame them for discovering Yea Forums. My sister, well, Iets just say there's a reason she knew who Childish Gambino and Post Malone were before I heard them. My taste has evolved past that but that was my starting point in enjoying hip-hop more.

When I started smoking weed, graduating from high school, and moving to college, I began going out of my comfort zone and started listening to more experimental music and video game soundtracks. Noise music, Shoegaze, M.I.A's Maya, OneOhTrix Point Never, and some vaporwave like Smash TV: Memorex (which is fun to watch on Youtube, high). I listened to vidya soundtracks mostly when studying or writing notes. Soundtrack for NITW (yes as Tumblr-infensted as the fanbase is) is fantastic background music.

Currently I don't have a specific genre I enjoy, but I mostly listen to noise rock, classic metal, industrial rap, chillwave, psych-rock, and garage or alt-pop.

>Crl+F dad

the only correct answer

No friends in HS + all the spare time that comes with having no friends in HS + teen angst and alienation + being too well-read and cultured to settle for Korn and Pantera.

In 2013 I came here a lot and I was an avid consumer of sharethreads material.

I used to play Simcity 3000 when I was a wee lad. It had a nice jazz soundtrack. My dad heard it too and got me into some real records, eventually other stuff as well.

This movie, Might Morphin Power Rangers, and pretty much every cartoon theme song in the early-mid 90's.

My uncle Alex, he had cassetes of Wishbone Ash- Argus (the album by which I judge all rock), UB40 - Signing Off (the album by which I judge all reggae) and Various - Paket Aranžman (the Yugoslav album by which I judge all new wave), and I still mainly listen to these genres.

That's not entirely correct because if the same instrument plays a song in multiple keys, it will sound different and the timbre or whatever it's called changes. A tenor saxophone playing a melody in Eb in the low register will be very different than B minor in the upper register. It's pretty noticeable actually when an instrument has a small range to play in compared to, say, a piano. Maybe that's just my ears though. Perhaps just likes, for example, a guitar riff in B flat minor that's played really low on the fret board so it's high pitched and pretty. The riff wouldn't carry the same feeling in any other key. I hope I'm explaining this well.

First era of music was listening to dad's Time Life 1960s CDs. Second era was stealing violinist's sheet music and playing baroque music on my saxophone. Third era was due to being in jazz band and learning more music theory. Fourth era was my best friend who showed me Primus, Beach Boys, Buggles, and Yellow Magic Orchestra.
>The Beach Boys, Beatles, and Bee Gees
>Handel, Bach, and Tchaikovsky
>Thad Jones, Mel Lewis, Chick Corea
>Primus, YMO, The Residents
That was my evolution of tastes and now I listen to and appreciate just about everything from Juice Newton to Judas Priest. The only thing I still can't stand is rap and most hip-hop. I don't really like lyrics much unless the voice is nice.

I only listened to punk until my friend put on Midnite Vultures in the car, opened the door to everything else

Parents and older cousins. They never really forced me to listen to anything but I just picked up what I liked through pop/rock music they'd listen to from the 70s to 90s.

I own every copy of "now that's what I call music" Why fuck around with anything but the best?

Minute I heard Barry Gordy's Motowon.

We can make people dance to hymns?

based, dads have the best taste
