Roughly...
Ages 9-10 got more into 80s metal because a friend's dad was a huge slayer fan
10-11 got into numetal and gothic metal
11-12 started getting into compilations and grab bag playlists off napster, learning more bands. first taste of doom from a vampire playlist.
12-13 super into gothic metal and extreme metal like CoF
13-14 ****ed with death metal, still into gothic stuff
14-15 got into gothic doom, and some funeral doom
15-16 started exploring more doom, while simultaneously exploring more black metal and extreme stuff. really dug carpathian forest at the time.
16-17 got hot. metalhead guys wanted to talk to me. started listening to their ****ty tough guy metal like devildriver and stuff. did really enjoy some of it. remembered how awesome static-x is and got back into them
17-18 hardly did anything except party and sit on the internet. got into more underground extreme bands, more oriental metal, basically learned every ridiculous subgenre that exists. and drank a lot.
18-19 started craving more slow music, because I smoked a lot more pot. got into the more traditional doom, funeral doom and stuff still. listened to a lot of viking metal at the time as well.
19-20 met current bf, who's super into stoner stuff. got into stoner doom, and more 'guitar nerding' music. started enjoying some of the 80s traditional heavy metal, which I had thought was kid's stuff since I liked it as a kid.
20-21 super into stoner stuff, and trying to gain an appreciation for the forefathers of the bands I love. Still really dug trad doom. liked a lot of power metal, due to partying good time drinking stuff.
21-22 started missing extreme stuff. got into just the sickest most depraved bands I could find. started collecting dead animals.
22-23 somehwat of a hiatus from metal, aside from checking out a few new bands here and there. trying to expand my jazz, rock, flamenco tastes.
23-24 still expanding tastes. metal preferences remain amongst most doom subgenres, traditional heavy metal, black metal, oriental. listened to some of the weird **** you dorks post.
24-25
