Me listening to old punk stuff I liked in college. "Ok, this is just noise."

And then they're stuck in your head for weeks like a fucking mind virus.
"My Humps" is a classic though.
I dunno the first minute of Dig by Mudvayne still helps me get ready for a zoom call just as it did between each high school class period.
I still love the music I loved in HS. I just love more stuff now, too.
My first purchase CD was Kenny Fuckin’ G. Sigh. Still, some pretty melodies I guess, and that’s not all bad.
Started improving right away by moving on to a lot of John Williams soundtracks and Weird Al. Then a lot of Classic Rock “best of” albums, including some Southern and Southern-inflected ones (CCR!). Start to fold in some folk music from the British Isles and sellout former college-rock bands (Crash Test Dummies’ first two major-label albums are actually good. Fight me!).
Add one English degree from a southern university and a move to Texas after a leftward political swing during law school (seriously you guys, nothing like seeing how the sausage is made to understand that while important and not without a certain rigor, the law is fucked up and EVERY judge is an activist judge, so you just need to do the right thing), and blammo, you get a dude who is way more into artsy fartsy “Americana” alt-country than your average Lemmy user. Now I want to listen to some Isbell before I go to bed. Good night y’all.
I love the Crash Test Dummies. Give Yourself a Hand is probably my favorite album but I also really like A Worm's Life. Their records are all so different from each other too, which is nice because their sound evolved but remained recognizable.
I'm pretty basic. I liked The Ghosts That Haunt Me and God Shuffled His Feet the best, and unironically enjoy almost every single track on both albums. Once they started drifting away from that wry and/or jaunty folk-pop-rock, I wasn't as interested, but I can appreciate that Brad in particular wanted to explore other ground and give his lyrical notions more space to breathe.
Oh I also enjoy both of those albums a lot, especially Here I Stand Before Me and Comin' Back Soon.
... songs that I listen to now are at least 50% songs that I listen to in highschool (and even that's just bcs I added new ones over time, not bcs I dropped what I listened to before).

Name names
The stuff I used to listen to as a teenager, I now listen to when I’m drunk because they are some banging pops
It’s just I do love me my black/death metal when I’m sober
Well, my tastes since then changed from various kinds of metal to that (bug mostly prog) + jazz + ragtime + electronic stuff + various multi-genre things, so I don't find the stuff I used to listen particularly terrible. Most are pretty boring, tho.
This reminds me of having the opposite experience, hearing a Joni Mitchell song I probably hadn't heard in 15 years - she had been a favorite musician of my gf's way back when. The opening notes took me straight back in time - mentally I was heading over to her place, feeling that same age, feeling all the same feelings. Very surreal experience. This was the first time I realized how much rich detail we store in our brains. It was like I had quantum-leaped back into my teenage body. I listened to some more Joni Mitchell songs to recapture the effect, but it got weaker every time - by a lot - the dropoff was very distinct.
It's only around the edges that I've trimmed. I listen to basically the same stuff, plus more now.
