We can look at a simple counter example to see the trivial findings compared to the title. Siblings can have completely different musical tastes.

- qbrass 10y agoYour siblings may hate a song you love because they were annoyed by your singing along to it. They may love a song you've never heard because they were with their friends when listening to it.
- devonkim 10y agoThose aren't even examples of taste though as much as idiosyncratic single-song ratings when the topic is about preferences for different tonal groups (consonance, dissonance, etc.). Unless there's a strong generalization possible for an entire genre based upon novel experiences (whether positively reinforcing or negatively doesn't matter here) I don't understand how taste is shaped so extensively in this manner.
