i'm not even sure if evolve is the right word, if it requires going forward. this might not be about going forwards. maybe moving sideways. but i have noticed that my musical preferences change quite alot. when i first started posting on xlt i liked 90s techno and quite basic idm. then it got weirder and weirder, and now i'm all for vocals and sweetness. why does this happen to me? for me it's a lot about single sounds and samples, not the general sound of the music. i have sound eras; i just got out of a glitchy, noisy drone sound era, and now it's female vocal era. but i know people who go on years listening to the exactly same stuff. this evolution prevents me from obsessive fandom, since i rarely like anything for a period long enough to get obsessive (exept portishead but they are just too great) |

normal |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
of course it is normal. but i have thought about this alot and i'm just curious why does happen to others if it happens. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
why? i don't know, you're growing up? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it happens to others because i am growing up? ;) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
oh to others because others are growing up? your question is vague i mean it's like "gee why do people listen to some type of music for a while then listen to another type for a while" gosh i don't know like |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i'll just listen to anything that sounds good to me. my musical taste evolves in the sense that i'm always learning about and appreciating new/different music genres and time periods. right now i'm into happier stuff, like recent belle & sebastian and select works of beethoven. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i've been listening to belle&sebastian alot too. mappatazee: i'm not sure how that is vague. 'why do people listen to one type of music, then another?' i have seen worse questions on this board. it's a thing i think about. and as you can maybe read: i explained why it happens to me, i was just curious to know why it happens to other people (the reply from optimus prime was in the direction i wanted to go) |

let me reshape it to you in less words: "my musical taste evolves because of certain sounds i need to have in music for a specific time period. why does your musical taste evolve, or does it, at all?" |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
there's developing/expanding your music tastes and then there's "growing up". the former is the result of open-mindedness, learning, personal enjoyment, and being into music, etc and the latter is the result of becoming a boring person. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
belle and sebastian is by no means evolving okay guys |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
who are you talking to? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
what are you implying? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
belle & sebastian is definitely in the category "going sideways". but it's good music that makes one feel all warm. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
that you're not capable of reading thoroughly. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
that seems to be a common problem here. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
no I'm really not being serious I like belle and sebastian neetta, tell brothom he knows what to do and he needs to do it soon |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Sorry. This seems to be a really poor attempt at loading a question. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I think the more important question would be do you evolve. Generally, if you are evolving, the things you are interested in will evolve with you. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
But you seem to be merely changing your mind about what you like. Thats not evolution, thats taste changing. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yeah. This thread scores a 3 on the Taxistm Brand patented fun scale. Thats 'medium to low'. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah i'm just being a difficult cunt carry on |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

i'm sorry for my bad use of words. but i don't know what you mean with "loading a question". "i'm not even sure if evolve is the right word, if it requires going forward. this might not be about going forwards. maybe moving sideways." was written for a reason :) "I think the more important question would be do you evolve. " i didn't even think about that. of course i do. do you? my taste changes are just so clearly linked to certain sounds, and i was curious to know if people here experience the same. but for me it's clear, the sound thing, i tried to explain it there. am i really that unclear about it? i'mnot asking you why _my_ taste changes, i'm asking if yours does, and why. it seems like everyone here nowadays is just trying to find mistakes from posts and people. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
people change - their tastes do as well. it's common and normal. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
No. You were clear. I just think you might be misunderstanding what you feel or see in yourself. Its not really my right to judge you like that, but then again, you did post this in a messageboard. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i'm going to throw up, then ask phobia to delete this thread and my username, and then cry myself to sleep. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
People always mistake changes for evolution. That is the wrong conclusion. Change is an integral part of evolution, but like evolution in the physical sense, its the changes that work - or act in a beneficial manner - that really determine whether or not its evolution. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Oopps. Sorry. Didn't mean to sound mean. I am tired. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
you don't sound mean, and i'm not being at all serious. seriously, i'm not a native english-speaker, so the meaning of the word evolution might not be clear to me. and it is not clear to me what i see myself either. you make great points that make me think; thank you for that. i did post this on a message board, so you are free to judge me, if you see something to judge me about here ( i don't really ) but i do know people, whose musical taste just does not change. so it can't be normal, if change is normal? |
||||||||

It seems at a certain age, most people choose to settle. There comes a point when most people just want the same thing, and no suprises. I mean, the music industry is ran off of finding "fresh" new sounds to take advantage of. So I think, that both change and staying the same are normal. It kind of depends upon what state of normalicy you are looking for. And how far along you are. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Furthermore, you seem to see not changing as the state of things. Maybe you are just uncomfortable with the little niche you have set up for yourself and are preparing yourself for some non-change. Or maybe you are just looking for excuses to feel better than those around you. People do that all the time. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
with feel better do you mean feel superior or happier? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yeah, and not by choice. I have to listen to SHIT SHIT SHIT music the entire duration I'm at work. In my mind, the only thing I get paid for is enduring it. But I'm going to chainsaw my head in half soon so this should solve that problem. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Superior mostly. I mean, everybody I can think of finds different reasons to boost themselves above those around them. Be it how they work, what kind of art they like, who their friends are, what music they listen to, favorite movies, food, clubs, taste in clothes, drugs... the list is endless. its really about how they design their identity. I mean, to you you see your taste in music being superior to theirs, where they might feel that they have better mates, or know the best place to get good cheap drinks with loose women. |

if i had to say a general thing, i'd say i'm evolving towards more straightforward stuff, less experimental... but since i like different kinds of music i'm also evolving in different "layers" if you see what i mean ( ? )... in metal i used to love Opeth, maybe i still love them now but i'm more listening to grind and doom styles now... · in electro i enjoy a lot more Underworld, Fluke, "Unreasonable Behaviour" by Laurent Garnier, or in other genres Seefeel, Air or Future Sound Of London, than Warp IDM stuff... · in rock i recently got a lot into the Smashing Pumpkins and Beck, love them; i discovered Alice In Chains also... i'm only getting into 60's and 70's rock very slowly and i'm not sure if i'll enjoy them as much as 90's... · in jazz, i'm more into John Coltrane and Miles Davis now, which i listen to more for the ambiance than anything else, and less into John Zorn... · in experimental i've been listening to less Coil for some time now, i don't know why, it's a shame because they're great; still as much into Nurse With Wound though... · still a lot into Mike Patton, got back into Nine Inch Nails with the new album, got back into Einstürzende Neubauten as well... more or less recently i got into Morcheeba and Elysian Fields, just love them... etc : ) |

happens to me... but I come back to things after years |

You seem to do a good job of expressing what you mean. I must say that i do similar things with music, always chopping and changing. I think it's pretty normal, it seems that way to me. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yes it does. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

What you mean is very clear to me. When summer comes my taste in music always change , and of course through the years aswell. I think it's logic that it changes, I mean... who wants to listen to the same style of music for a few decades? And let's not forget that music is also envolving all the time and therefor you are going along with it. As long as you don't have the need to start a family nothing really happens to you. ;) |

It goes in circles for me. I've been through 70s electronic music, classical music, trancey shit, and all sorts of stuff. I'm back into the old stuff at the moment, along with a nice dosage of IDM and jazz. I've learned I can't fight what I enjoy-sometimes I'll pick up a CD I used to love and find it to be dull and shitty. And vice versa. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I tend to back and forth between electronic stuff and hip hop, this cycle has repeated itself for the last 10 years or so, and with each iteration my musical scale widens further while at the same time knocking out some of the IMO weaker stuff like generic 'idm'. Growing up listening to mostly hip hop I guess established a strong base for that kind of sound for me, however sometimes the lack of interesting releases in the genre pushes me towards something else. The same happens both ways. So in my case it's more about refreshing my ears with something different so I could again enjoy a certain kind of sound. Of course when widening your musical tastes you learn to appreciate things for different reasons. Not sure if that makes any sense, haven't had my coffee yet ;) |

my taste evolves every time certain music starts to bore me, so i just go and search for something new..currently it's dark stuff, like lydia lunch perhaps.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I was thinking about this a lot the last few days - about how my taste has evolved last few years. I dont really listen to electronic stuff much anymore - instrumental surf, dub and french movie soundtracks are my main interests these days.. it seems hard to imagine my favourite bands used to be Metallica and Anthrax. Who knows, i might come back to them someday. |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
no. it's the same as when i was 12. i only listen to motorhead and ac/dc albums on rrepeat. |

Constantly, just a few months ago I became a fairly hardcore fan of country music, which is something I never expected would happen. And I'm doing well right now, have lots of ''listening projects'' on my plate and I've overcome my downloading demons and not listening to new shit just for the sake of hearing new shit. I'm really in the zone and understanding lots of stuff I never understood before. I don't work or go to school right now so the zone is easy to stay in. |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
haha, so country is the ultimate thing? :D |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
Oh Ophecks, no job? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it's nice to know other people think about this too. i was worried, with the hostile posts at least :) taxidermist > you make marvellous points. you start thought processes in my head. |
