Today everyone in the class went through three songs: a childhood song, one from a moment in their lives and their music taste now.
A lot of the childhood songs are songs that most people's parents played around them, or related to their parents with artists like Def Leppard and Queen as well as those seen on TV which plays a big part in most people's childhood. The songs from a significant moment included various things such as travelling and various holidays, with our teacher Miss Walsh choosing a song used on her Skydiving video. The music tastes in our class ranged from things like Classic Rock such as Black Sabbath and Led Zeppelin to more modern music like Nickelback.
How I remember buying music was both through Cassette tapes and CDs, when physical singles were popular and digital formats from online music stores such as iTunes hadn't released yet. My tastes have changed dramatically from pop music as a young child to Alternative Rock while growing up in Primary School, listening to heavier music like Metallica and Slipknot as a young teenager before house music as I finished Year 11. My current music taste at the age of 17 is a mixture as I still listen to all those stated in smaller amount with a bigger focus of Rap and Hip-Hop, my favourite artists being Kanye West and Kendrick Lamar.
My taste in music isn't properly influenced by anyone as I discover new music through the internet and magazines such as XXL. It is usually me who introduces my friends onto new artists and songs they haven't heard of and get them into them.
What I have realised about my taste in music is it is eclectic and constantly changing, with the possibility of changing yet again while I'll still listen to all the genres I have considered my 'favourite' in the past.
