Music Memories #2

My grandma said that her music taste has varied just as much as mine has. When she was a teenager she liked more hip hop and rap but as she got into her late teens and early 20s her taste leaned closer to R&B, a genre without such vulgar lyrics and a smooth beat. Her first concert was a group called Sly and the Family Stone, their hit song was Hot Fun in the Summertime. Others included from Eta James and Nsync with me when I was younger. Now as she is older she listens to the same oldies but enjoys hip hop as well. Her favorite singer when she was younger was Luther Vandross and remains the same to this day. 
I find it interesting that it seems to be human nature to change music styles as we age and mature. When we're younger we relate to lyrics and music styles that pertain to the way we are feeling and the changes we go through during that time period. My music tastes have changed a great deal since age 5, but now I think I'm leaning towards a genre that will stick until I am my grandmas age. We both have grown up with artists who have sung their way through the years, Vandross for her, Mariah Carey and Usher for me. It is ironic that even so many years ago she liked the same genre and then shifted to a different one at the same time that I am. I have come to the conclusion that time may pass but people will always lean on music to bring them through the good and bad times, all depending on what they relate to individually.
