The way listening to music seems to work as you get older

vamos [Edit] [Delete] 11:23, 20 February '08

0-10 Listen to tunes your parents like

10-17 Develop your own unique taste in music by either copying NME, the taste of a person you really fancy or whatever your parents hate to piss them off. On average, you purchase more CD's than Kit Kats and rake up a hefty overdraft

18-22 Despair at your last 7 years of CD buying, and try to get more individual by liking things you convince yourself are good after 37 spins and attend gigs where you nod a lot

22-25 Regress to a more underground but blatantly Freudian taste, which bears uncanny resemblances to years 0-17 albeit with more feedback and oddness

25+ Find your niche, suddenly fall in love with pop music all over again and find yourself listening to the same stuff over and over and over and over and...

This pattern is true of 6 of my mates and myself. Anyone else finding this?
