As the title suggests, this is a discussion about how you got into your fav genre of music, and what about it you like. I'll start:
My favorite kind of music is Thrash metal, thought i really enjoy some classic rock like Beatles and Zeppelin and my man Hendrix. I started listening to my own music (as opposed to whatever my dad played in the car) in about 8th grade and it was all like led zeppelin and generic songs like that, but after being exposed to slayer i couldn't go back... Something about the rawness of thrash metal really appeals to me, which is something i still feel from a lot of live Hendrix and zeppelin recordings, and stuff like that. Maybe the fact that i play guitar influences how i feel about certain songs, cuz i know how it is to play them(?) That being said i still love a lot of other bands and songs from all across the spectrum.
Some of the bands i listen to on the daily (with my 72 hour long spotify playlist):
Slayer
Metallica
Exodus
System of a down
Sepultura
Testament
BLACK SABBATH
Electric wizzard
Pantera
Led Zeppelin
Jimi Hendrix
king Gizzard and the lizard wizzard
