A change in tastes

I’ve noticed my taste in music has changed lately. I think it’s because I have a kid. Not that he’s changed my music taste, but he’s what’s made me notice. You see, I get two small twenty minute periods a day where I’m gaurenteed time to myself: the shower (where all good ideas happen), and doing the dishes (where I wish I owned a dishwasher). In that time I can listen to music without interruption and with full enjoyment as Dad takes over the cuddling, changing, entertaining, ect. I noticed that I listen to the same 3-5 songs each time.

And holy crap they’re country songs.

When the heck did I start liking country again? The last time I was a fan of that genre of music I was 10, and I grew out of it by 11 because country wasn’t cool and the Spice Girls were the only thing that should be listened too.

Now, I don’t know how long this will last, because when I like a song I listen to it to death. But it’s still weird to think that I’ve rebranched into a genre of music I royally disliked for so many years, making exceptions for certain songs or artists as the years go by. Maybe it’s a need for something different to inspire my next book, or perhaps it’s just that it’s changed enough since my teen years for me to enjoy it again.

Have you ever found yourself liking something you once hated? Like documentaries or brussell sprots?
