probably around the time the Modern Vampires of the City album came out. made me actually start listening to albums as a whole for the first time. I don't like it as much as I used to but looking back it's still pretty good.

7th grade, i was like 11/12, so 8 years ago.
of montreal's spiteful intervention played on some channel i was using for background noise at the time. quickly downloaded youtube to mp3 converter and looked for similar music to them. was way more into of montreal than any adolescent kid should be, I guess.

~16-17 pink floyd & led zeppelin -> radiohead -> Yea Forums

t. zoomer

if i told you you'd call me zoomer cancer

About two years ago while driving to work listening to the cure on the radio.

I was really into 90s rap, Pink Floyd, and Stoner Rock going into college but then all my friends happened to be Yea Forumstants and I got free Spotify premium around that time and started looking at music more seriously. It was so exciting, pure discovery

Never

like 14-15
I honestly wasn't it super into music before than
and the the music that expanded my horizons?

after i discovered radiohead

I've been listening to music all my life

About two years ago I stumbled upon fantano's classic review of ITAOTS. Started looking up a bunch of Yea Forums charts and just listened to a bunch of albums. I was also in Long Beach for vacation (from the midwest) and I would just spend each night watching the ocean and listening to albums I hadn't heard for hours.

discovered these obscure bands called nirvana and arctic monkeys

12 years old, listened to Gorillaz. Clint Eastwood, sounded familiar, and I remembered Feel Good Inc. from MTV and my brother's FIFA game. I stopped listening cause murdoc is satanic.

One year later, edgy 13 year old me listens to to Gorillaz again and enjoyed it so much I became an atheist. 8 years later, I've learned to appreciate tons of music genres from many countries and languages, but Gorillaz is still my favorite band.
>but humanz bad
Yeah I know it has terrible songs, but the good ones make up for it

Same here

2013. It all began with Drake and it will all end with Drake.

When I was in 8th grade my dad let me use his laptop and he had some Frank Zappa albums on it. First song I listened to was Broken Hearts Are for Assholes on Sheik Yerbouti because it had a funny title, and I found it to be an absolute blast to listen to, then I basically dug deeper from there. Started listening to Pink Floyd a bit. I remembered liking the Beach Boys when I was a little kid, I thought Barbara Ann and Don't Worry Baby were great songs. Learned about the history behind the Beach Boys, thought it was fascinating, listened to Pet Sounds for the first time. That was good. Also learned about Smile and got into listening to bootleg snippets. Got into Bob Dylan, listened to Highway 61 Revisited all the way through the first time I ever got stoned. That was swell. I started listening to the Beatles at some point along the line, but I don't recall exactly when. They were never a favorite of mine. I started posting on Yea Forums back when I was underage so I was into Neutral Milk Hotel and Joanna Newsom before I hit 18. Good times.

My dad's a drummer and has a big vinyl and CD collection, so I've been really into music since I was around 6 and could put CDs into the stereo by myself. It started with Sex Pistols, then I discovered Oasis and Blur in 5th grade, then Iron Maiden in 6th, the grunge when I was in 8th grade then shoegaze when I was in 12th grade.

The edgy nu-metal soundtrack of this game got me into music as a mere child.

I grew up listening to my parent's record collection. About 12-13, I'd go online and find similar that they didn't have. Use streaming sites such as Pandora and Last.fm as a starting point.

I was also gifted that 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die book. I didn't (and at times, still don't) understand many of their inclusions, but again, took it with a pinch of salt and shaped my own music collection and opinions.

I don't actively search for music as much as I used to now, but it helped me listen to albums in their entirety as opposed to just singles.

Met a fag that really liked "rare" music and was so unique and intelligent for it. I didn't know about music at that time so he called me mediocre everytime i liked or disliked certain artist, because of autism rage i started to get into music and realized he mostly listened to meme music, rym top rated and whatever fantano liked. I did end up liking music thanks to him though.

christ I never realized how much of a fucking unit sam is

He's fuckin hideous lol

Grew up with a Sega megadrive and they would be the only tunes I was engaged with for most of my youth.
Got into actual music at 16 thanks to Rock and Roll Racing (thx Jizzard). Deep Purple, Sabbath sort of classic rock.

Not into that stuff anymore. Jazz fusion made me realise all the lower register 'guitar' noises I loved was actually fucking bass the whole time. It also made me realise that I love keyboard synth (since thats basically what the Segas soundchip was based on).
I am happy with how my music tastes turned out. Thx SEGA.

What music did you end up liking? Is that amazing kang crimson pic related?

when i started working out i couldn't stand the music that my gym played and it all snowballed from there

Music's always been there. No real story about getting into music because it's like a story about meeting your mom/dad.
Always had rhythm. Drummed on everything that wasn't a drum set. Got drums. Playing slipknot w marching sticks a year in because I'm a technical band geek (who grew up on 80s, numetal, Tool, and Dre).
Started singing Metallica, Slipknot, Skid Row, Led Zeppelin because mowing multiple acre rural land is dull otherwise
>got gud
Everything needed to make my own shit sat around after casually accumulating for 5 years.
Started making music. Made 6 records in 2 years. 2 more scheduled more this year. Probably 3 more next year.

Fun fact: Covered Death Grips' No Love opening for Shaggy 2 Dope cuz

I mostly listen to zappa, area, KC, kino and a few japanese bands. When i get more free time i wanna listen to more things though.

When I was around 12 or so I listened to DSoTM because everyone on Yea Forums said it was the greatest album ever made. It really blew my mind at the time. Albums can have connected songs that flow into each other? Music can have such deep themes? After this I listened to The Wall and loved it too. One day I got into Bowie, listened to his entire discography, started browsing Yea Forums etc.
I still like DSoTM, although it's not my favorite Pink Floyd album anymore.

Never. I'm still not into music despite I pretend to
Why would I ever be here instead of listening to music otherwise?

since you ask: i used to go on Yea Forums but got tired of the same garbage shitposts so looked for some other boards and started going on Yea Forums. first thing i listened to was death grips and then in the aeroplane over the sea.

same, psychedelics rekindled my interest in music

>experimental rock bands
Never liked zany Zappa but I love Area. Either way that's one hell of a way to start listening to music.
Do you mean the brutal prog stuff when you say Japanese bands? I need to get into that stuff.

I hope all the avant garde stuff doesn't wear you out either. Have you looked into more easy listening genres like funk and new wave; just to ween off the intensity of listening to challenging music?

I got into music at the height of the "Bieber bad, queen good" era

First girl I kissed was into trash soundcloud bands and i started getting into it from there

I have been using Yea Forums on and off since at least 2008 (I remember I came to Yea Forums before Boxxy was a thing and that was in early 2009), but I only first discovered Yea Forums around 2013. I started exploring Yea Forumscore, learning so much new music through various threads and the whole adventure of discovering new exciting music came along :-)

when I was around 16 when my dad died and music was a great help for dealing with that
and since then music was a big part of my life

humanz > the now now

I was 10 years old when I heard for the first time Opeth, "Deliverance" to be exact. I didn't undrestand any of it but it was fucking dope.

I was 17 and put on Glory Days by Pulp I'd listened to it before but something clicked in me when I heard it I put it on loop for a few hours then the album on loop too

When I was like 7, used to listen to my sisters CD's all the time with a portable CD player. And also minidiscs.

Hmmm... My dad played stuff like Radiohead, Deep Purple, Björk and Zappa in car all the time. So I was okay with "weird" music, but still listened to basic pop, cuz well, i wanted to have friends. Then I discovered System of the down and Mindless self indulgence (i know). I was like 12-13. Obviously i got eventually bored of those and started listening to Siouxsie and the banshees because MSI sampled them. Then Joy Division. Then Dead Kennedys. Basically i started listening to punk, but since it sounded too simple (i know, stupid) to me I moved on to art rock, indie stuff and experimental shit. So yeah.. I should've sticked to pop

After seeing a Paul McCartney concert when I was 16. Changed my life.

Did I really write System of THE down?
wow....

Linkin Park (specifically Minutes to Midnight) > MCR > Radiohead > faux-indie > indietronic/psychedelic > hip hop > a combination of the last two

no shilling plz

By chance I saw squarepusher pop in my youtube reccs and recognized the name from peep show, so figured it'd be good. Took a listen and got sucked into idm for a while, then after realising how nerdy and boring it was to only be into that I started branching out into other stuff and now I'm pretty 'into' music, I would say

I pretty much always enjoyed music. It wasn't until I was 15 when I started downloading full albums, before that I mostly used youtube

12 but then I became a weeb and had a hiatus from music for two years before coming back to it

Demon days was the first album I actually listened to fully.

unironically in the aeroplane over the sea, back in 2009 when i was 15 and discovered Yea Forums

My dad, always been into music, so I grew into it as well naturally, he didnt force it just showed me stuff he liked and I thought it was cool so I started finding my own stuff that I liked and now I cant stop

now I listen to rock and electronic (both of the strange, wonky, experimental kind I guess), Cardiacs being my favorite band

I tend to gravitate towards british music for some uknkown reason
