Do you still listen to the same music you did when you were 14?

"
Fourteen is a formative age, especially for people growing up in social contexts framed by pop culture. You’re in the ninth grade, confronting the tyrannies of sex and adulthood, struggling to figure out what kind of adult you’d like to be, and you turn to the cultural products most important in your day as sources of cool — the capital of young life.

    I discovered loads of new bands since so no I don't listen to the same stuff I used to regularly but I like listening to it sometimes to remind me of when I was 14.

    I've changed so much in three years...when I was fourteen I used to listen to 80's music and thrash metal, and shunned all otherwise. I used to watch crappy sitcoms and think they were entertaining, along with bad 80's movies. I hardly read any books...if anything, I read comic books back then. Now the music I listen to is classical, spanning from every time period (baroque, classical, romantic etc.) soundtrack music, progressive and technical deathcore and death metal and as much avant garde as I can find. The books I read now are still comic books, but also philosophy books, spiritual novels, classics and modern classics. Some examples are The Iliad and The Odyssey by Homer, The Silmarillion, The Hobbit and Lord of the Rings by Tolkien, The Art of Deception, etc. I rarely watch tv shows anymore (except for Metalocaypse, Young Justice and Batman the Animated Series), and the movies I enjoy are more along the lines of every Batman movie (yes, even the George Clooney one), V For Vendetta, Lord of the Rings, Inception, Troy etc.

    Ah, the infamous 'brooding-intellectual' late teens phase. Im not saying that to be rude either, it IS interesting, how our musical tastes do evolve over time,

    You bet. Some of the best music in the world was out when I was 14: the Beatles, Dylan, the Stones, the Doors. Who wouldn't want to listen to music like that!!!

    Age 14 was about the time I switched from classical music to dancehall reggae.

    You listened to Green Day? They're a great band, no matter if I'm fourteen or fifteen.
    See, my music taste depends on my mood, and which band I begin to like.
    It's so various, I love all of it.
    I bet that I'll be a freaky, Heavy Metal & Rock grandma one day.

    When I was 14 the first of the classic rock bands were just starting out. FM radio was no music, just talk. '50s music had years to go before the songs were considered oldies. I still have all the LPs and cassettes I bought of that music. I rarely listen to them though. By the '70s I had developed a taste for many musical genres. With internet radio I've found even more kinds of music to enjoy.

    Not quite as much, because I've found a lot of other music I like, but I still listen to stuff like Motley Crue, Billy Joel, Metallica, Def Leppard, and Guns N' Roses.

    1986 - 1987 had some pretty good stuff.

    But not exclusively that music. I enjoy many different generations of music, and my taste has only grow. But I don't stop listening to the music that was the soundtrack to my high school experience.

    Most of the music groups I listened to at that time in my life are no longer together, And what few that have reunited don't seem to sound as good as they used to.

    My tastes, since having been 14, haven't changed but they have expanded. When they stop expanding, it'll mean I'm, finally, old.

    I listened to Christian rock and game music back then. Now I listen to less Christian rock and more JPop, KPop, and celtic music in addition to game music.

    Still listen to 60s Rock, but it's getting harder to find. I grew up listening to Rock, Pop, the Big Bands, Swing, Classical, some Country & Western (I swear, western NY State had more C&W; stations than Tennessee!) and Jazz. Still haven't developed a taste for rap or hip-hop.

    I've always listened to a variety of music. When I was a child, I was exposed to country, classical, with a little church and blues thrown in. As a teen, in the '60s, I added popular, now called classic rock. During the '70s and '80s, I added stuff like 'Pink Floyd and Queen'. I don't like anything that I can't understand or that's too loud. I don't like the 'hiphop and rap' beat.

    Some of it, but not all of it. I listened to Sublime A LOT. I listened to a lot of Ska, Punk and Metal, Hip-Hop and Electronic. I stopped listening to most punk rock music as I got older and progressed as a musician. It just started to seem redundant, simplistic and boring to me (just MY opinion). I got more into Metal, Various forms of Rock, Electronic and Hip-Hop. As I progressed further into production and composition I ended up with WAY more studio hours in Hip-Hop and Electronic music. But way more hours of Metal and Rock in Live application.
