I remember being told by the English "tutor" in the college of commerce (Holburn street), that I "won't be listening to that rubbish when I am older" (she was referring to Godflesh, Ministry, Cop Shoot Cop etc).
I asked why not, she said "because it's a load of cacophonous rubbish, only young people listen to loud angry music when they are young"
My reply was "What bands did you like when you were young ? (the Beatles) Do you still like and listen to the Beatles ? (yes), And, did your parents / Elders like the Beatles when you were my age (No), Did they think you'd grow out of that "rubbish", (err...Well, yes, but the Beatles are different to that noise you are listening to...) "not to your elders...."
I'm with PsyDoll, a good music fan's "taste" can only grow, expand and accommodate new styles...I'd never be embarrassed about the stuff I listening to when I was younger...(Run DMC, Prong, B-Boys, Coroner, Anthrax etc...all solid foundations to me!)
