As a yoth growing up (mid teens late 80s) I discovered a love of firstly rock n roll (still a massive Alice Cooper fan!), then hard rock, metal and eventually thrash, but as it happened I lived in a pub where all the local punks came into and filled the jukebox with the Clash, Pistol et al, and it wasnt long before I picked up a guitar and joined one of their bands (thrash/skate punk stuff) - loved it
Most of the lads (few years older than me) would often take the piss out of my music, Slayer, Helloween, Guns n Roses etc, but I did like both sides of the coin and properly discovered US hardcore (Black Flag/Bad Brains etc)
Metal and punk just didnt mix at all for some reason!
As I have gotten (much) older, I still listen to the same shite - been decorating tonight with Spotify on my Metal/Rock/Punk/Rap and Indie playlist (its fucking epic!) - NOFX, Bad Religion, Pennywise, Ramones, GnR, Metallica, Megadeth, SOAD, Limp Bizkit (only a few lol), NWA, Ash, Slayer, Nirvana, Hole and many more - but I thought back, and most of my friends seem to listen to it all now
My lad (18) listens to all sorts of dance/rock/metal/80s/90s, they dont seem to setup in camps anymore, and listen to whatever takes their mood
Did anybody else have a teenage phase of hating everything else bar their particular choice in music (even if they quite liked other stuff ha ha)
I can appreciate all of that Acid House and hardcore dance stuff (Altern8 etc) much more now than when 16 - I hated it - but them, Prodigy etc were really just the new punks!
Heres a treat for you. GangGreen. Mint.

Metal and punk just didnt mix at all for some reason! I agree,I have been heavily into music all my life,from my first dip into music northern soul to my life long interest in punk.Few differences I think in metal and punk.Punk connects people with similar ideologies,its very political,can be funny,various types of punk (folk,dance,dub) but most of all its about attitude. Whereas metal has none of these imo.Plus you can dance to punk with ya partner too. Personally I went into more political and anarchic music mainly due to CRASS.Have you heard of them? I saw Black Flag in 1981 at a festival in leeds it was the first big punk festival I went to and was an event I remember well to this day. punkrocker.org.uk/gigreviews/vintagexmasonearth.htmlI also had a record shop for 5 years selling vinyl and music memorabilia and have approx 6000 records.  In the 70s most lads latched on to a type of music and went around in gangs.Punks ,rockers,two-tone,teds(yes there were some),skins,mods etc etc.It was brilliant. |

Dunno if you know loads of the local scene (you probably do!) but the Biddulph punks are still going to gigs and playing in bands - Crabby, Rick, Kev and nore - Ricks band Wolf Bites Boy making some quick progress and did Rebellion last summer |

Heres a treat for you. GangGreen. Mint. I had a big phase of hating everything bar my particular choices too, Robo. Back in high school so from 2007 to 11, I'd gone away from radio play songs and slowly moved on to metal and hard rock, and largely in part that is thanks to being introduced to Guitar Hero. From then all other music was null and void as far as I was concerned.
Different now as my taste in music is now somewhat eclectic from the weird side of metal all the way to a bit of dance, country or whatever. Though I have to thank heavier music for helping me (accidentally) discover new bands.
King 810 Churchburn Igorr
Still my three most recent new metal pickups. Aside with them, like the usual Metallica, Megadeth, SOAD, Sabbath, Ozzy etc... But I can quite easily go off and listen to Chaser, Faithless, Poppy Ackroyd (thanks to MrDean on Twatter for this one!), Bomfunk MC's, Oasis and on and on with probably too many to list in all honesty, these are the first that popped into my head.
As teens it's more a case of being a stubborn bastard on the music front, I despised the ones at my school who listened to pop shite.

Late 70's early 80's I'd have said I was heavy rock influenced
In reality I liked all sorts (not liquorice)
My favs were mainly oldies like acdc. Scorpions. Deep purple. sabbath, floyd. Skynyrd. Nazareth. Rainbow. Genesis. Rush
I even classed 10cc and elo with that
Reality I liked quite a few punk bands (not sex pistols tho)
Hated all mod stuff. madness being the worse
Nowadays driving too and fro to matches I'll listen to absolutely anything... from choir, big band, robbie William's, eagles, Christina Aguilera. Acdc. Neil diamond. Arctic monkeys

I too am a huge Guitar Hero (3) fan, its an epic playlist! Think it influenced my lads musical tastes too - he has gotten to Cliffs of Dover on Expert - I cant seem to get past Knights of Cydonia (Expert - same place fail, every time :-) ) Its interesting Eggybread on the crossover comment - most Thrash metal is heavily influenced by punk rock and stripping back all of that overblown 70s prog rock bollocks and making it raw and powerful Metallica often credit punk as a massive influence, Motorhead as mentioned were deffo crossover, I was saying to a mate earlier that the GangGreen song above could almost be Megadeth if you looked away - same voice, same aggression, similar guitar sound. I just want it fast, aggressive, music I could punch something to while having a great time doing it. Happy days. Humourous lyrics are a bonus - NOFX have that nailed down! |

I just want it fast, aggressive, music I could punch something to while having a great time doing it. Happy days. Humourous lyrics are a bonus - NOFX have that nailed down! My two penn'orth - Music was definitely more tribal in the late 70's / early 80's - and for a time after. (There was an interesting BBC4 programme a few months ago on just that theme - think it was presented by the woman who used to be in The Selector). Back then you had Punks, Rockers, Mods, New Romantics, Electronicers (Depeche Mode, Kraftwerk etc) and so on. There was a kind of mutual tribal friction/respect at the same time. Personally I liked that (I was only really getting into music at the time (aged 11-13ish). I think today's pop fans are maybe less tribal and more tolerant. I definitely "divorced" myself from mainstream pop around 1985 and loathed dance etc as it took off. The whole Punk/Metal thing seemed to depend on what side of the Atlantic people were on. For the most part, I think in the UK Punk was seen as some kind of Cartoon thing - spikey haircuts and safety pins - that died in about 1978 (in reality it went underground/cult. Except on the US side, people took it very seriously and ran with it - spinning off all kinds of sub-genres. Throw in a generation of young rockers like Metallica, Anthrax (never shy about their "NYHC" links), who saw it as OK to listen to and pick up on Punk/hardcore stuff and you also have a new mutation of Metal - Thrash, as a result. The real tribalism seemed to be between the Glamsters and Thrashers. (or maybe it was just Metallica and Motley Crue that hated each other! Roll the clock forward 10 years and Just as punk killed off some of the dinosaur 70's bands, Grunge nuked the whole 80's hair rock/mainstream rock scene. Then the next mutation seemed to be Nu-Metal, which pricked my curiosity after a bit of a wilderness period. I've seen Linkin Park, Limp Bizkit, Slipknot and Korn and they're all excellent. Have to say, I don't know who the new Rock gods are - who the next Iron Maiden, Metallica will be. I'm defo not a Kerrang! reader anymore. These days I listen to Planet Rock mostly - or my music collection in the car. |

I always had to get dodgy downloads when I was a kid and couldn't even dream of affording live tickets.
I finally saw my two favourite bands and hardly anyone else gives a shit about them so they were cozy shows. Maybe 400 for Dark Tranquillity last year and under 1k for In Flames a couple of weeks ago. I love the metalhead culture though, feels like you're part of a group and everyone's excited, a bit like a game day with your own fans. Like some of you've said, I got a bit stuck in my ways with the bands too and haven't branched out much. I try to put on random Spotify playlists but hardly anything quite hits the same spot as the old Gothenburg bands.
Went to watch some California band called Thrice and got concussed pretty badly in the pit. Guess that's not too far off when I almost took a brick to the head at Wigan a few days after Sir Stanley passed, so there's another similarity between heavy music & footy.

If you fancy a delve into my mind, I am on Spotify as Robo10_Stoke (see what I did there!), and you can find my epic playlist if you search for my Robo's Punk, Rock & Metal playlist
I wont be offended if you hate it :-D
Some of the other playlists on my profile are my lads so don't judge me lol

I like a lot more variety of music as I've gotten older simply because I don't care anymore what anyone thinks of my musical taste. I would guess most folks are the same way as they get older.
