How do you see yourself musically? How much more diverse do you think your taste will be? Do you think you'll ever grow out of any of your current favorites?

Good question.

My musical foundation is pretty wide in terms of genres, but very specific in terms of elements I look for within those genres.

That being the case, whatever future music meets those requirements, i'll be listening to it.
If not, there's a lifetime of music that's already been recorded (and I haven't heard yet) that does.

I predict I'll be more into classic albums and artists trying to fill gaps in my collection and less on what will be current at the time. I've already made the decision to not renew two music magazine subscriptions for titles that skew to a much younger audience. It's time to let go.

Seems like the amount of music I listen to shrinks every year. At this rate, the sum-total of my collection will look like this 10-15 years down the road:

Human Touch
Lucky Town
Tracks, Disc 4
Negotiations & Love Songs
"Too Much Monkey Business"
"My Thanksgiving"
"Don't Be Ashamed of Your Age"
Magic and Loss
American Life
Baerwald on Triage

Right now I'm still hearing new albums that are making an impression and I will probably be revisiting them ten years down the line.

I think CDs will be pretty much impossible to buy new. These are the good old days.

Judging from my tastes in the past, I already know that in 10 or 15 years from now, my taste will be the same as it always has been in some sort of modern form (that is, if music ever speeds back up and changes for the better).

My first love was disco. When disco died, I got into funk which was uptempo, fun, funky, and danceable just like disco. It also was the closest thing sounding to disco at the time. After funk's death, I got into house music which was nothing more than a modern reincarnation of disco.

So you see, really I've been listening to the closest things that could take disco's place since disco's death. When I started bitching was when things slowed down and got the furthest they could from sounding like disco. In 10 or 15 years from now, if there is something uptempo and funky like disco, I'll be loving it. If not, I'll be still bitching like I am now. I know myself. I've never really changed my tastes in the past and I know I probably never will in the future either.

Do you think in 10-15 years 'Futurepop' will still be called 'Futurepop', or will it be called 'Currentpop'?

That's how I see it too, but I become overwhelmed when I think about all of the artists I wanna explore, especially if they're an artist that's had an established career.

There's a few artists on the fringe that I might lose interest in but there are others that I'm sure will be favourites forever.
I'm always open to new stuff too, so hopefully there'll be more additions in time.

Same over here.

Yeah....I know I'll definitely have more blues in my collection. I don't think I'll abandon any favorites, like I have in the past. Example "No Doubt". In middle school, I used to love No Doubt, but recently I was driving and decided to pull out their cds for old times sake. I ended up skipping most tracks and felt detached to most of their songs. I wouldn't say I dislike them now, but the "middle school" magic is definitely gone.

Yeah, even now some artists are making some of their music digital only.

i think i'll be listening to a lot more classical and hopefully, more of my own. i understand the phenomenon of growing out of a sound or artist and what some might call maturing.

i'll always be interested in electronica and whatever bastardization of funk that may happen. better yet anything with thought, heart and soul.

I'm so scatterbrained when it comes to music, that 10-15 years from now my ears will probably be just as impressionable as they are now. My whole music mantra is 'if it sounds good, then I like it' and I imagine that will pretty much stay the same, just maybe different things will begin to sound good.

I'm dying to see the future's Soulja Boy and your reaction.

Good responses. I just hope I don't find myself attracted to random pop songs in the future. *cough* Chris Brown's "Kiss Kiss" *cough*

I...um...love that song...

I see my self exploring specific musical areas in the future--jazz, funk, soul, even classical music, there´s a lot to explore yet

...and avoiding the random hits selections
