What Kind Of Music Did You Grow Up With?
What music were you listing to when you were young? High school, Middle school, whatever.
If you're still young. What was the first type of music you really got big into?
Do you still listen to it? Still like it? Ever miss it?
I was in high school all during the early to mid 2000s when pop emo, pop punk, and alternative rock was at its zenith and was everywhere.
I had bleached blonde stoner hair, sported Vans and was forever with a hackey sack in my pocket.
This was the time of Green Day, Good Charlotte, Nickelback, Panic At The Disco, Yellowcard, My Chemical Romance, The Killers and more. Hip hop was around and huge of course, but it hadn't achieved total domination of pop to the extent it has today. Especially in my Midwestern area of the States.
I bought the first Fall Out Boy album before they blew up. I still have vivid memory of first opening that album. I couldn't even wait to get out of my car. I sat there in the drive way and opened it up and put it in the CD player listen right there in my car. I felt like I'd found my own little secret no one else knew. It's my one "I was there before they were big" flex lol.
Thinking back it strikes you how different music is. How much it changes over time. The trends. The artists. The sounds.
Some of you might be too young yet, but often at the time when you're young you have no idea how much everything will change. Not just in terms of music but life.
Music sort of marks that transition. What was once big fades to make way for the new. The music moves and changes and nothing lasts forever.
If you would have said, Eman do you know that years from now you will be listening to music in Korean and know more about their celebs than your own country? I would have called you crazy.
Ha. Times change.
I still enjoy retuning to the music of my youth. Still love many of the sounds, the songs, the feeling. Some I go Ahhhh what was I thinking.... But then others ... You remember why it was so important to you. Why it moved you so. You can still feel the magic.
I won't list a breakdown of my high school era favs. But instead just a couple I was listening to tonight. That got me smiling and humming and thinking.
