I love days like today. I get double the amount of fun and awesome tracks to listen to
It is pretty great! Although it would be difficult to get anyone to agree on a year I think most of my music would be classified as throwback.

I feel like a throwback is only really relative to that person. It's just a track that takes you personally back to a specific time and place. As like you eluded to, some tracks throw back further than others 🤣

Ah, true. My thought process was taking me elsewhere!
I'm not old enough to remember when most of my favorite songs came out, but they do take me back a few years. I had never been a big music fan when I was younger, but I started getting into it when I got my first job. The place where I worked had a rotation where they played a different decade of music each day of the week. I always looked forward to the three days where they did the 60's to the 80's! Most of the later music I didn't care about much, what they played got less interesting and repetitive.

Mine was influenced heavily by my folks playing their records around the house. Never really found myself into the pop stuff of my youth, always older and more rock.

Parents can definitely be a big influence on tastes! Mine weren't really music listeners, so I didn't pick up a lot from them.
I listened to mostly older country and rock until I bought my first acoustic guitar. I soon found myself making up blues style instrumentals with it, and enjoying the sound of what I was playing made me look into blues and jazz a lot more.

Once I fell down the rock/metal rabbit hole it really opened me up to being appreciative of artist talent and then I could branch out into other genres.
reply
Interesting! So you're saying that focusing on one genre actually made you more open to others in the long run? I know it's definitely rewarding for me to find an artist I enjoy in a different genre than normal!
reply
Yeah, sorta. I think because I played piano, and guitar at around that time I had an understanding of the skill level required to play metal tracks. Those drummers? Bassists? Vocalists? Guitarists? Are all super talented, it's not all loud noises and screaming. When you watch the skill required from them to play that style, you start to appreciate the skill of the artist. Then if you appreciate an artists talent, it's kinda foolish to ignore it anywhere else. I may not understand hip-hop as an example, but the ability to flow in that manner, I mean I get tongue tied making a coffee order. Once you spot talent, you can't help but notice it everywhere and that's awesome to experience things you wouldn't otherwise have been able to appreciate as much.
