This reminds me of an old line from Dave Barry, who once observed that men eventually age to the point where they only like one song. I haven't reached that point, but have come to prefer only a few genres (none of which are pop). I'm not entirely stuck in the music I grew up with, but classical, soundtracks and epic music seems to be what I prefer about 90% of the time, and my passion for most other stuff is fading.
- hammyhavoc 4y agoAs a musician, my interest shifted over time to more complex and less repetitive music. As a result, now a composer for games and picture. It feels like all the musical innovation is happening within scores and almost everything else is bland and formulaic.
- themadturk 4y agoIt seems that film music (and by extension, game music) has been very innovative over the years, especially with the influx of composers who started out in popular music or jazz as opposed to the classics. Even television scores have turned from background music to worthy of listening on their own.
- sirspacey 4y agoDefinitely how my tastes have evolved - love Hades soundtrack as an example. What’s caught your ear lately?
- themadturk 4y agoThe last soundtrack to catch my ear was Hans Zimmerman's score to Interstellar. I've also been rediscovering John Barry's classic film scores, everything from Born Free to James Bond movies -- not exactly up to the minute, but quality lasts!
