All I listened to as a kid in the 90s were mainstream pop acts. When I was a tween I rejected the mainstream almost completely and started listening to a lot of the Clash and Bob Mould, then became enticed by heavier stuff like Tool. When I was thirteen I dove into the new underground independent scene that was developing, listening to stuff like Interpol, Broken Social Scene, Arcade Fire... indie rock whatever, stuff like that. Afterward I started to gradually broaden what I listened to, going into rap, hip hop, idm, electronic, to noise, and so on (thanks to music guru Necronopticous for most of the introductions btw).

Present day I would say I'm less snobbish and/or judgmental and far more open towards music. I can't say I really look into genres all that much anymore, nor that I haven't shaken my ass to pop radio recently.
