some... I don't listen to new age music anymore, I don't like 80's music as much as I used to (only 80s music I'll listen to anymore is new wave), and I'm kind of embaressed over the blink182 cd's I have, but I still really like a lot of the alternative rock bands I liked in high school, and I'm always adding new music onto my ipod.

I made a vow when I was a kid not to become like my parents... they won't listen to anything that was produced after the 70's. heh.
 
What I listened to in high school is just a subset of what I listen to now. I've definitely expanded my musical taste in the last decade or so.

I still listen to the music I listened to when I was a lot younger, I've just added to it.

Same here although some of the new stuff are now my predominant choices.

HAhahahhaa, NO.

In high school, I listened to the Beastie Boys, Wu-Tang Clan, DMX, Limp Bizkit, Orgy, KORN, etc etc.

I'd like to think my taste in music has gotten a little better.

You mean to say you've aquired a taste in music!
 
Oh yea, the late 60's and early to mid 70's was fertile for guitar based rock, which is still my favorite genre of music. My tastes have expanded quite a bit since then, even though I also listened to a lot of different music back then.

Led Zepplin is timeless :music:
 
4 years ago I went total fob... C-pop all the way... now it seems to be coming back ><. I had a trance phase maybe 5 years ago and then I went down the mainstream rock/hip-hop stuff..
 
sometimes, but there is more new stuff than just that. i like a lot of new music

i graduated in 1984, i like a lot of '90s and newer music
 
I listen to a lot of the same music, however, some of the bands turned to crap while others are no more.

At The Gates, Iron Maiden, Death, Opeth, and many others get a LOT of play. (I gratuated High School in 1998)
 
I still listen to some of the same stuff, such as the Smashing Pumpkins, Our Lady Peace, and Radiohead. Most of what I listen is stuff I got into after high school though. It doesn't sound weird. What do you mean?
 
A lot of the same but my tastes have certainly expanded in the past 17-18 years. I think the only thing I don't listen to now that I did then is skate punk/thrash metal/hardcore (i.e, DRI, early Anthrax/SOD, many others, etc.). I loved Metallica in high school but that has waned as the band has become a parody of itself. I still listen to tons of classic rock from the late 60s into the 70s, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, Doors, Black Sabbath, etc.
One thing I remember about my senior year in high school ('88-'89) is that what later became known as "grunge" was just starting to hit in the NW, and I went to a number of small-venue shows of what later became some very big bands, i.e. Mother Love Bone, Nirvana, etc.
 
God no. I thought it didn't get any better than Green Day's Dookie in HS (though in my defense I did like some good music, such as pre-suck Metallica). I listen to lots of jazz and trance lately, among other stuff, whereas I wouldn't touch anything non-metal/rock back then.
 
Pretty much although the stuff I listen to trends more towards what was out when I was in grade 4-11. By my senior year in 1974 disco had reared it's ugly head and mascera rock was in full bloom and I hated most of that crap.
 
I no longer listen to Def Leppard.
But I still listen to Pearl Jam and STP which arrived on the scene for my final year of high school.
