Music high school

[Sydian]

show your age real quick lol do you still listen to the same stuff you listened to in high school? if so, do you think it still holds up? did it age well? or did it not age well, but you hold a soft spot for it despite the cringe? what you listened to in high school doesn't necessarily have to reflect the times ofc like i was listening to a lot of nirvana and this was the late 2000's for me.

i consider my high school experience to be split between the different schools i was at, the first half being more top 40 geared stuff/radio friendly/easily accessible (james blunt, mariah carey, green day, my chemical romance, fall out boy, gorillaz, ciara) and the second half the uhhhhhhh i'm gonna call it emo but not good at it (nirvana, deftones, flyleaf, mindless self indulgence, disturbed, three days grace, underoath). i have a slight third phase but it's so short bc it was like the tail end of senior year so i won't count it tbh. but yeeeeah that second phase. she didn't age well lmfaooo... nirvana and deftones are fine obv like that wasn't New at that point anyway, but like...god didn't we collectively forget three days grace like. i never hear anyone talk about them now and didn't hear their name after like 2011. animal i have become amv........

also i listen to mcr like every day so... lol and those deftones albums. around the fur is a fucking banger and don't u forget it

Yeah occasionally I do. I still get into a Belle & Sebastian mood every year ^^ But generally I've moved on.

I listened to a lot of swedish pop back then and hearing it now just makes me sentimental or makes me remember bothersome things. So I mostly prefer newer music.

My tastes honestly aren't that different but I have had very eclectic taste for... always lol. I think the main differences are that I listen to a bit less in the way of classic rock and metal groups (although still plenty of both genres in general) and radio pop (although weirdly there's also more pop artists making music right now I actually like?) I'm a lot more willing to explore electronic genres now too now that Dubstep isn't just... fucking everywhere. I listen to VGM more now also.

So it's less that I listen to different music and more that I listen to the same music in different quantities lol. That and I'm more willing to explore.

the only major difference is i no longer listen to soundtracks from glee

I've gone much more indie and pop ever since and don't regret it one bit. Back in HS, I would totally just listen to like whatever people showed me and whatever was on the radio. Soooo I guess what's different is that I search for what to listen to now, than just take what I find.

Only thing that's changed for me is that I'm much more open to mainstream music than I was back then. I still like the same stuff (alt rock stuff, The Strokes, The Killers, etc.) but I also like Ariana Grande, Post Malone, Taylor Swift, Bruno Mars, etc. now. My music taste has diversified ever since I dumped the elitist attitude and I'm thankful for it.

I feel I'm a bit young for this conversation as I only graduated last summer, but a few days ago I opened Spotify again for the first time since the summer and it kind of took me a second to realize, "Oh, this is the kind of music I listen to." For me I can't help but think everything I listen to is "cringe" even if I attempt to listen to mainstream stuff after friends or an ex of mine tried to introduce me to it. I don't even think my taste in music really changed since then, but it felt like it kind of took me a bit to remember it's what I enjoy, if that makes sense.

As for if it holds up, I've really got no clue. I have had periods I've listened to "the edgy teenage angst songs" and I feel like if I stuck with that kind of music for longer, it would be a lot weirder to look back on.

Highschool was only two years ago but i'm still absolutely random about what I listen to.

I jump from gangster rap, to 50's music, to cheery musicals, to metal in the same playlist.
