And it has, perhaps, alot to do with the actual experience of learning to like what you like (e.g. you heard Floyd at a party and found out that your crush liked it). Preferences, though, shouldn't have to persist. I have, at times, envied people who can reinvent their taste and find greatness in completely new music, while I just keep rediscovering what I liked in the same albums after I've neglected them for another three years.

Every generation has its music, and it's a requirement that every generation before it finds it boring, meaningless or just plain awful. Think back to your teenage years. My dad was a big fan of late 60's/early 70's music (Beatles, Cream, Iron Butterfly, The Who, Pink Floyd etc.). For me, it was all about AC/DC and Ozzy, which he just couldn't get. Nothing about that generational opinion gap has changed.There's still a lot of great music being created by today's artists (and, as always, a lot of crap, too). In fact, I would argue that there's even more great music being made, given how many more outlets there are to release it. No longer are artists forced to play the big-record-company game. I don’t.
