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.) 😉

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

@RussCheshire @TheBreadmonkey I should play my son lots of Stevie Wonder and see how he reacts

@RussCheshire @TheBreadmonkey my granddaughter, 15, likes Laufey, who could very nearly come from the 50s. She has a great voice though not my taste

I don't understand why my son isn't a big fan of NOFX

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