I love music, just about more than I love anything else on Earth. I've often wondered how we develop our musical tastes? Yes, I know a bit of it has to do with your chilldhood, possibly shaped and started by what your parents listen to. Where does the taste come from beyond that? Why do some people like a certain band or type of music while others hate it? And how do tastes change over the years? At one point in my life, about 15 years ago, I hated Depeche Mode. Loathed them. I now love them. I used to dislike Electoronica. Now, I love it. On the flipside, I used to be obsessed with Jewel. Now, I have absolutely no desire to listen to her. I've often wondered if there is something in everyone's brain that sort of predetermines what kind of music people like.

I used to be obsessed with Jewell too. Maybe it was the boobs.
I think musical tastes are determined by many things. Outside influences being one of the big ones. Some of us tend to gravitate towards what our friends and family like. others tend to navigate away from that.
