I let her playlist run whilst she went to the shops and I haven't hit skip once yet. She apparently has exactly the same musical taste as I did at 14. James, Supergrass, Smashing Pumpkins, Stranglers, Cure....

I wonder if it's genetic?

@TheBreadmonkey I think I saw an article recently about sounds heard by foetuses having lasting effects in later life. Perhaps it's also a cultural thing.

(This theory would suggest that I should be a fan of The Ratpack, or C19th opera. I am not.) πŸ˜‰

@RussCheshire @TheBreadmonkey Maybe the sound was so scarring, you decided from a young age to hate it.

I did play quite a lot of classical music at the time , although his first gig, in gestation, was Propagandhi.

@TheBreadmonkey When I was growing up and well into adulthood, I had an intense relationship with the music of the Beatles, the Doors, Led Zepplin, The Mamas and the Papas, ABBA, all bands that were popular before I started forming long-term memories.

I'm sure my parents had the same reaction to my musical inclinations at the time too :D

(If this were happening to me, I'd drop in a sampling of Soundgarden's catalog just to see what happens)

@TheBreadmonkey I think it’s because the three or four radio station owners left on earth are deathly allergic to playing anything that isn’t *already* a mainstream commercial success.

@TheBreadmonkey Pop culture recycling has given my 15yo an uncanny familiarity of the music from when I was her age in the 80s… but for the past couple of years she has been very fond of… Rammstein.

I mean kudos, no notes, but where did that come from?!? Her other persistent favorites are either 8-bit-sounding video game themes or verge on β€œbardcore.”

@TheBreadmonkey

This reminds me that every year from 1980 until about 1998, a teenager would mention at a gathering (or post on BBS) that they found an album in their parent's collection they couldn't believe their parents listened to, much less have. That was "Dark Side of the Moon" by Pink Floyd.

@TheBreadmonkey I tried to have a goth phase when I was a kid, got into grunge and growly rock and roll, Mom had a great time.

Tried to rebel, got into pop and techno.
