I was born in the 80's and lived through the 90's and now i basically only most like alternative grunge rock of the 90's. And after i got over how stupid it all was even 80's music has an incredible nostaligia to it for me, i love it. I listen to all sorts of other music but i can't stand the 70's hair bands very well whereas a friend of mine who is as much older to have lived through that decade loves them. Also, i just don't get the crappy emo bands. Punk has it's own appeal but i don't like to listen song after song by whiney loser guys. (No offense to loser guys because they are actually secretly cool, just don't start a band). Is it the industry and good music isn't really coming out right now or am i destined to most like the music i grew up with?

Right now I'm 25. And my favourite songs come from when I was 16-19. Personally one of my favourite times of my life. More recent music seems really shallow to me. I don' think it's just my perspective, but it is very unintelligent, uninspiring, and over-sexualized. There are some artists speckled amongst the others that have maintained originality and a message. For the most part however I am stuck in what I know best.
I also have taken a look backwards to sample the music I missed out on live, like the 90's grunge you are enjoying, as well as 80's/90's groups like G n R and Bon Jovi. I listen to CCR and The Police, Queen and Ozzy. I like me some old school LLCoolJ, and Run DMC, and I will always love the Fugees and the Wu Tang Clan. I have found much more satisfaction in music that has already been written.
For me I think it was Nelly's "Air Force Ones" that put me over the edge....but thank you, idiotic song for opening my eyes to actual music!
Perhaps that's just the way it all happens though; the reason for oldies stations on the radio. One day I'll be an old lady spittin some ODB!

I think you're always going to have an affinity to the music you grew up with, but there is always the possibility of branching out and liking other music. I grew up in the 90s, and every time I hear a song from that decade, I immediately start singing along, even if I haven't heard it in years. But as for my own personal music, I listen to a lot of older stuff I wasn't exposed to growing up, and most of my music is indie rock and the sort, which is not typically mainstream music. But I also do think that the quality of music these days has diminished greatly, and less effort is being put in talent-wise, and most of it is just fake computerized stuff anyway.

i'm a teenager now, and mainstream music (dance **** that's all the same, pop punk emo **** thats all the same, hip hop **** that's all the same).
thats why i listen to alternative rock from 80's, 90's and now.
also I.D.M bands like autechre and aphex twin.

Meh, I'd say no. Yes and no. My father is rock-obsessed, and I grew up loving rock. But, I also adore heavy metal, and have never been exposed to it prior of me buying metal CDs. That is something my parents cannot fathom.

i think music grow into you.
what i mean is if you kinda force yourself into listening to a new type of music most of the time you will like it.
this theory was checked with me and my girlfriend- we liked totally different types of music and now we like the same after a few years

Not necessarily. I grew up listening to rap and dancehall and now i'm a hard rocker, I listen to nothing else.
