I kinda feel this. Some years ago I was a diehard Hardcore (Techno) and Uptempo enjoyer and would not listen to anything else. Then about one year ago I kinda stopped caring and now I listen to a whole bunch of stuff except pop. Pop is absolutely lame in my opinion. It has nothing that makes a single song stand out from any other. No kicks, no drops, no provocation. It only cares about being liked by the masses.

Pop music is so weird to listen to for me. It’s like it’s engineered by 12 different people to sound catchy. The equivalent of a movie showing a dog dying and the filmmakers are very proud of themselves because they were able to make people sad with a movie.

I think its fair to say i have a favourite genre, or multiple favourites, but that is no longer exclusive or exclusionary. All music is welcome, i will no longer judge a song by its genre.

I attribute the change to having different social groups in my life. When i was in school i was into rock and thwn metal and that was pretty much the only thing i liked. Later i got in with a crowd that was more into techno, dnb, dubstep, house, minimal etc and grew to appreciate it, around the same time i was playing in bands and learning the blues, and got into jazz more recently. Always liked classical because of my piano lessons when i was young. It opened my mind up to so much more.

Except pop :)

  I feel that with the social circle. In the city I moved for university we have a small student club and there the often play quite a lot of acid techno, dnb and other techno variants. Also a friend of mine is deeply into dnb and this 100% influenced my music taste.
