what a crazy day. so many memories yet i cant seem to recall any of them... i guess the best one that i can remember would be hearing techno for 3 hours straight.
back in elementary school, we had an assignment to bring in our favorite song. however me being me back then, i didnt have one. i thought that music was stupid and was too scared of being judged by my peers. in the end, yes i did bring in a song. it was something off the Titan A.E. sound track. and at that time i was choosing between two songs off the album. the song that i liked more i didnt choose simply because it had some strange message which i dont recall, but again, i was afraid of being judged. and this anti music phase continued through atleast eighth grade. slowly i was being introduced to music, songs that i actually liked, that wasn't pop. ( my brothers would make fun of me saying i liked 'where is the love' by the black eyed peas. even though i didnt like them, at all, they thought i was girly or something. [in the end i kinda love that song haha]). now the mode i was being introduced to this music was through a friend, i had recently discovered downloading music (before the RIAA started cracking down...) and i would help him get music and create CDs for him, dubbed MFM, M.F. mixes. anyways i slowly started getting to like music more and more whether it was mainstream or not didnt matter, but i tried my hardest to stay away from pop and what not for fear of being judged (again, i know im sad lol). back then it was the usual, some RHCP, movie soundtracks, bad religion and whatever stuff i was showed. by tenth grade i was starting to get into techno/trance. something drew me to it, probably the bass and the heavy beat, something i lack, i ahve no sense of time :-\. for a while all i would listen to would be techo and trance, the usual lack of a melody was easy to listen to and time would just melt away without me noticing, and it was good. eventually i stumbled upon websites like pandora and purevolume. and thus began in indie revolution. thats where my indie and strange unheard of bands. which inevitably led to rock and all other types of music. by senior year of highschool my taste in music was all over the spectrum, i could potentially listen to anything except classical, which jsut put me to sleep :-\.
but not sure how this leads to my over all idea here. i go through phases of music, and the fact that i have a wide base of musical taste, i can go from mood to mood and choose the music that goes along with it. side point: some of my friends are very deep into their types of music, and thus leading them to judge others on their taste. some of my friends hate pop, but hey, if it sounds good, and you enjoy it, then just enjoy it. sure its ok to look at the artistic talent of an artist, and maybe being mainstream isnt cool. but one shouldnt judge others because of their preference in musical taste. its interesting to see what types of people like what kinds of music, i think its impossible to tell what kind of person someone is based on their musical library.
