It's only around the edges that I've trimmed. I listen to basically the same stuff, plus more now.

One of the wonderful things about being a Gen X'er. Music from my high school years is still fucking awesome.
Well, my tastes since then changed from various kinds of metal to that (bug mostly prog) + jazz + ragtime + electronic stuff + various multi-genre things, so I don't find the stuff I used to listen particularly terrible. Most are pretty boring, tho.
Not from what I experienced unless… oh, right… millennials …mmmmyea. Throw it out. Something happened with music around then.
I was bored and looking for something to do on the weekend, and found cheap tickets to see Sheryl Crow and Pink (headlining) live. Honestly one of the best shows I've even seen. The "don't give a fuck" vibe mixed with the professionalism of a 30 year career, just all the energy I wanted.
They both have newer albums, but I've had their high-school bangers on a lot lately.
It amazes me how, relative to the average individual, I am the same as I was when I was young. and im way different.
People are often poor judges about how they've changed, because it's difficult to be objective about yourself. I've had friends' personalities do a complete 180 and they'll tell me "I haven't changed at all, actually".
Yeah I mean even external superficial things. Like I still dress kinda the same and my hair is the same and such. I could be wrong about my personality. Certainly the internet has made me much less focused but that seems to be everybody.
And then they're stuck in your head for weeks like a fucking mind virus.
Me listening to old punk stuff I liked in college. "Ok, this is just noise."

Well now I have to go listen to Sex On Wheelz by My Life With the Thrill Kill Kult, damn it.
Joke's on you, my music taste hasn't changed since elementary school, i was and will always be an emo
Kanye and MF Doom. Not related.
Funny thing, back in high school I managed to buy some albums on Google's Play Store for 0 Monies. I'm talking big names, like Charlie Puth, Major Lazer, Galantis, Anitta, Flo Rida, Jason Derulo, maybe more. All for free, just owned it. Not streaming, per se. And I used to keep coming back, check if any new freebies had dropped. I reckon I once downloaded them in more recent times, but have probably lost them in poor last-minute 'backup and reinstall' OS issues. I might have deleted the files from Google, as I grew away from loving Google (as I did back then) to disliking them a tad (privacy reasons, likely), but I rather believe they got rid of something I purchased (albeit for no moneys) some time after discontinuing Google Play Music. These albums, released circa 2015, were the ones I had on repeat back then. Nine Track Mind, Peace Is The Mission : Extended (not to be confused with "Peace Is The Mission (Extended)", at least on Spotify), Pharmacy, Bang, My House, Everything Is 4, among others. Also got some singles, like Californication and a Linkin Park song (Numb, maybe?), and a Charlie Puth song before the album so I had it repeat on my collection
