So the past three days I've been listening to music that I used to listen when I was a teenager mostly. It may sound edgy but I really liked emo/screamo music at that part of my life. The below are some bands I used to listen:
Bring me the horizon
The used
Alesana
Blessthefall
Escape the fate
Funeral for a friend
Bullet for my valentine
It was until I was around 16 that I changed my taste in music, I started to listen more to techno, acid, electro, IDM, dubstep m, drum n bass, jungle and more.
So kids what was your childhood music? Music that you grew up listening.

I was into what my dad listened to for a long time: Metallica, Iron Maiden, Rush, R.E.M., Marillion. Then I discovered radio (maybe around 14/15) so I was into whatever was hot in the rock/alternative/indie scene at the time: Kaiser Chiefs, Muse, My Chemical Romance, Evanescence, Paramore, Panic! At The Disco, Fall Out Boy, Razorlight, Radiohead, Foo Fighters, Blink 1-82, Green Day, System of a Down. I really liked the emo scene but I was never actually an emo. Most of my music was digital, free downloads from shady websites with horrific bitrates lol. The first band I properly had on obsession over was Disturbed, when I was about 17. The first album I bought with my own money as soon as it was released was Wasting Light by the Foo Fighters, and that came out in 2011, when I was 18. I owned CDs before that but they were either presents or weren't new releases. Then I went to uni and all hell broke loose. The entire internet of music + a student with most of the week free time = a crazy amount of experimentation. I remember my Christmas list was about two pages long of CDs. Nowadays my tastes are all over the place. On one hand I can listen to some extreme Black Metal, on the other hand I got excited when MGMT brought out a new album the other year. And that new Beatles live album is pretty good too.
