The evolution of your music taste

At about the age of 16, my taste in music went in a heavier direction and I listened to only thrash, black and death metal.

Then, at the age of 22, I heard Gangnam Style and my taste in music did a 180. I still enjoy metal occasionally, but I mostly listen to k-pop now.

Like you, I can enjoy most genres. I never understood the appeal of reggae, but that's the one genre I never "understood".

(Btw, the fact that I enjoy most genres is the main reason I prefer k-pop over western commercial pop; the experimentation and broadness of genres/sounds that k-pop has, and western pop severely lacks. All k-pop is clearly influenced by western pop (unlike j-pop, which in my opinion is unlistenable trash), but it's basically western pop done right.)

I like J-pop and K-pop to some degree as well. They're "guilty pleasures", I suppose.

I cant' get into reggae either, to be honest. And I also am not a big fan of techno, trance, house music and the like.
