I can't really answer, as I've only been truly exploring music for a couple of years, and my tastes are still evolving. But:
I'm in the same situation, but I'll reply anyway.
When did you discover your genre of choice?
I try to listen to as much different stuff as possible, but mostly it's metal and indie/alternative. I discovered metal when I was eleven, I think. Not really sure. My dad and I were at a mall, and I think we were discussing music or something, I don't remember. Suddenly he asked if I liked Metallica (even though he's not the biggest metal fan himself), to which I replied "no". He asked me if I liked rock music, I did (Queen and Springsteen), so we went into a music store and he spontaneously bought me the Flight 666 live album by Iron Maiden (my dad's cool). It was the heaviest shizz I had ever heard, but at the same time it was hella catchy. I didn't start listening to metal for real until a couple of years later, though.
When did you discover your favourite band/artist?
I didn't know about The Smiths until a while after I registered here.
When did you last discover a new genre?
No idea.
Would you consider your tastes set in stone?
Nope, I want to try different stuff.
Overall, how long have you held your current tastes?
I don't really have an answer. My taste is constantly changing.
