Music Memories #1

My taste in music has changed as I've gotten older. I have matured and so have my interests. When I was five years old, I liked juvenile music. For example, I watched Barney and Blues Clues, therefore I enjoyed that type of music. I enjoyed the musical sounds of the songs and the fact that I could laugh, dance, and sing along while watching the shows. Thankfully my tastes have changed. I moved on from this music as I got older and I started to enjoy pop music. When I was around ten to twelve years old, I became fascinated with the Disney Channel and shows like Lizzie McGuire. So, when Hillary Duff became a singer, I was hooked on her music. Her songs were things I could relate to and enjoy as they were simple. I also listened to Avril Lavigne and enjoyed the rocky edge of her music. As another five years passed and I was fifteen years old, my tastes then are pretty much the same as they are now. My parents grew up in the 80's around all the hair metal music and by them listeing to it and taking me to concerts, it has easily become my favorite music now. Even as I was younger I would listen to the bands such as Motley Crue and Guns N' Roses, but it wasn't my favorite music. Now I also enjoy current rock bands music, when I didn't before. In my opinion my taste in music changed dramatically when it comes to genre because I don't like the poppy music anymore. It's not even on my iPod. My relationship to the music has changed because the songs and artists I used to like, didn't write songs with meaning where my favorite artists now do. They write meaningful songs and they do so on their own with their original work. As I blog about this I laugh because I think about the music I used to like and how much it's changed. My taste in music has matured and changed from different genres from when I was five years old to now as it went from juvenile, to pop, to rock.
