Musical preferences can be well defined and enduring.
Early musical preferences are usually reflective of one’s peer group and reflect contemporary popular styles. Two exceptions of note include family exposure to a specific genre and individual musical talent.
As we change through life experiences and maturity, our choices are influenced by peers and exposure. Our likes and dislikes can also evolve over time due to social factors, personal experiences, and the individual’s stage in life. Some of us may become more, sophisticated, or unpretentious, reflecting changes in their social, financial, and psychological development.
My choices are related to physical activity, walking (Chris Stapleton), showing (my favorite oldies), cocktail hour (blues). What do you listen to and when?
