What was your favorite genre 10 years ago and where are you now?
A decade ago I was deep into grunge. And though I still do listen to plenty grunge, I am typing this while listening to Sigrid Raabe (synth-pop)
10 years ago?
Prog metal.
Today?
Prog rock.
20 years ago?
Melodic Death Metal.
Heavy and Thrash metal will always be my number one but I’ve noticed over the years I’ve calmed down and really gotten into Folk Rock. Haven’t looked back since.
Black metal - - - > witch house
I got burnt out on the new black metal I was hearing, it was all too dissonant and samey to me. Still enjoy the older stuff I grew up with, though.
Witch house has a similar raw energy and dark/sad/dreamy mood that I like in my music.
Started with EDM 10 years ago (melodub, dnb, electro, …).
I think now I’m into indie / indie rock. Although I get spikes of EDM and metal in between.
It went from punk/alt rock/grunge to hip hop to synth pop for me, with speckles of all sorts of folk and electronic throughout. MagBay is my current favorite, and my first was Nirvana.
I started thinking that 10 years I was mostly listening to lots of rock, punk rock, pop rock, alt rock, indie dock… lots of different rock types, emo and Weird Al. But that’s actually 20 years ago.
These days the majority is comedy music, with rock as a chaser to split things up a little.
