My son is 15 years old and only listens to Classical music like Symphonies you'd hear in the old Disney movies such as Bambi! He prefers the Romantic era with composer's such as Barrok and he's only 15!!!! He doesn't like rap, he doesn't like pop he doesn't like much except piano pieces! When he was a 7 month old baby I have a youtube video of him playing the piano for the first time on a strangers lap and it's soooo cute cause he's holding the guys hand and then hammering on the piano! He was only 7 months old! He was born to play! Then since he was 7 he had been asking his dad and I to buy him a piano, then last year I came into some money and bought him his very own Grand Piano!!!!!!!!! And he plays like a gifted prodigy!!!! I am so proud of him! He's special!

Yeah I like music that doesn’t hurt my head. I know what you are talking about. Maybe 20 years ago in the summer we’d have a radio to listen to while prepping dorms for students and the younger ones wanted hard rock on the shared radio in hallway. They’d crank it up so loud you couldn’t shut out the noise of it. Some of us got headaches. I asked the lead why we couldn’t take turns listening to different types of music. She asked the supervisor who OK’d it and came back with a notebook and asked each one of us what station we wanted to listen to, and it would be for all day. Some liked country music, some soft rock or pop, and I chose classical music 😂 knowing that would end the loud stuff. Only one day of the classical music, which was a lot softer than the rock music was….and the radio mysteriously broke and that was the end of the loud music.

well taste is objective but
you MAY be reacting to the enormous mechanical formulaic nature of what they are offered to listen too by "Pop" media
and exposing them to better music will not work. if it is too unfamiliar, it will read as unpleasant noise

Mine also listened to "music" I couldn't take, but over time has migrated more to my tastes and has introduced me to some good stuff...I think they do hear what we are listening to while they are growing up...

Lol it’s not like there’s no good new music but most is bad especially like if it makes it to the radio it seems? I find lots of good stuff still but I have to really look for it..

As far as newer talent that I think has skill doja cat was the last one I liked..

My playlist jumps all over the place, I listen to a bit of everything includin stuff from moms era. She hated the rap an hard rock. But learned with 4 of us your out numbered, we will rock the whp ln e neighborhood lol

I can only assume "Baby Shark" is prominent on the playlist🤒

What music do they like

Thats right.

I think a lot of it sucks. You really have to dig deep to find any new music worth listening to.... in my opinion anyway

What was it

No it sucks these days. I like the old stuff in any genre. 70's 80's 90's good stuff! Bands just aren't the same there ARE a few that aren't bad these days id say. But for the most part music isnt that great now

my dad used to say the same aobut my musicl tastes,its oyur age

What's on his playlist?

Music has gone down in last few decades

Definitely depends the genre
Me and my son trade music suggestions all the time
We have similar tastes

Now for current mainstream stuff… it all sucks imo

Nah its crap, theres really no soul to most of it.
