I was listening to some music today and it got me thinking about my current taste in music. The genre I have been listening to is quite different to what I used to listen to back home. This got me thinking about whether my tastes in music have changed with my experiences in America, or whether I would have always liked this genre if I had given it a try before I got here. After all, the music I am currently listening to is not something I actively sought out, I heard it at parties and stuff and found that I like it. Its not like I don't like the music I used to listen to anymore, its just that I like the new stuff better.
This has got me wondering on whether the type of music a person listens to is a reflection of who the person is, as in something innate (born with a predisposition to one genre) - or is it a reflection of a person's experiences? Will I still like Oasis and Coldplay twenty years from now or would fresher experiences have altered my taste?
