Music Fazes

 So I never put much thought into my music taste through out my many ups and downs but I definitely have a huge variety of music genres. The cool thing about my music taste is that even if I haven't listened to some of it in a while I still love all of it. Music has a special place in my heart period. I would definitely have to say my music taste has changed through out the years but that would be because music is ever changing and progressing! I did notice that when I was single and spending a lot of my free time partying with my girlfriends I listened to a ton of Bloc Party, Gwen Stefani,  Bob Marley, Techno, and tons of dance music. What is neat about this music is listening to these artists bring me back to memories of getting ready to go out. I love listening to music when I am getting dolled up and ready for my night out. Music has this feeling to it that puts me in a good mood and it helps with my headset for the night. I also found my breakup cd's lol. I went through a rough breakup in 2006 and it took me almost 2 years to get over my first love, I loved cranking Evanescence in my car and bedroom and just singing at the top of my lungs sometimes and crying other times. Another breakup cd I listened to was Avril Lavigne and Tool. I seriously was all over the place withe my music genres. I do see patterns in my music choices that seriously have played a role in my life experiences. The music I listen to when I am happy is always fun and upbeat, when I am going through a rough patch in life I love indie music that has a softer and kind of melodramatic sound, when I went through stages in life getting screwed over Eminem was my man. I also have a ton of mixed cd's from over the years that I made or had friends make for me! Boo's mix, Boo's mix 2, Road trip volume 1, Road trip volume 2... I never even went on any major road trips either which is so funny to me. I can honestly say that music speaks out to me in any situation I am in and my music library shows that too. My favorite artists also have a lot to do with music I grew up on with would be alternative and rock. Red Hot Chilli Peppers, Nirvana, Stone Temple Pilots, Tears for Fears, Pearl Jam, No Doubt, Korn, U2, Guns N Roses, Bush and Smashing Pumpkins were all pretty big in the 90's and that was when my life was developing the most and I was very in tune with music and my emotions.  I still love the majority of these artists today and I like going back to certain songs and having different memories attached to them.Another thing I noticed about my music collection is that I have a good amount of soundtracks to movies. I love movies and most of the time I seem to really enjoy the songs inside the movies too, so my music choices time era wise have to do with the movies I enjoyed during that time too.Right now I love Florence and the machine, Muse, Kings of Leon, and pretty much any band on the Twilight saga soundtracks! I will end this with saying that my music collection will continue to be progressive with a mix of my old favorites, new favorites, and a broad band of every genre!
