1 Answer

Answer :

I listen to a lot of eighties music, which I grew up with. A lot of current stuff I listen to sounds a lot like, and is influenced by the same artists. I think it’s a good question though. I wonder if it’s generational, for example, my dad was way into music growing up but I don’t think he listens to much of what he used to, as opposed to myself.
