I'm 19, soon 20. And I got a big family that enables me to see how time has influenced they're taste in music. My Dad is 87 this year, and can't stand anything other than Classical music (in a nutshell). While my other brother who's 36 listens to both My style of music (hip-hop and the newer stuff) and My Dad's (Classical). I honestly think how much we listen to a certain genre, and how often we do can lock us away from other genres as it becomes too easy to just rely ont this genre. Listening to new music is a risk: Discovering your old favourite tracks are long gone and the "younger" listen to weird things you can't even understand, or it's just wasting your time . It'd be like me trying to listen to Metal for 3hours just to start understanding it...
