When you were in high school (and I’m assuming that you have long since left high school as this is a page of reading text in long form), then there was probably a single style of music you were resolved in your thinking was the only style of music that was any good.  Everything else, would of course, invariably “suck” by your standards, and likely the standards of your closest peers.  I veered towards some of the alternative and harder stuff in those years.  If you were listening to rap, hip-hop, RnB, country, pop, or dance, your music tastes were highly questionable to me, so much that you were wrong to be thinking it was any good.

I’m much older now, to the tune of 15 years(ish).  And in general, my tastes haven’t changed all that much.  I don’t question other’s tastes in music so as I’ve learned that your musical experience is highly influenced by high school hormones and lack of good judgement, and that carries on for most people into their adult lives (which will likely lead into the the “mid-life crisis”).  Despite my lack of overall musical evolution in taste, one of the genres that were categorized as “suck” somehow became completely delisted.  And I’m not talking about a flavour for a particular track, I mean delisted as a whole.  What’s more strange is that I can’t explain how or why this has come to pass.  In my car and at home, all I’ve been listening to is dance/electronica. Is it the hypnotic nature of it that just sets my mind to zero?  Is it simply the fact that it’s music that is just different than what I normally listen to?  I don’t know.  I don’t get it.  But I can’t help myself.

I’ve been enjoying it so much that I’ve thought about getting a book on how to DJ.  What the fuck is wrong with me?

Something has obviously changed and really, I don’t begrudge it.  If anything, it’s nice to know that things in my life are still prone to change.  You stop evolving and you might as well be dead.
