When I first got seriously interested in music, I was about ten. The first band I ever remember really being a fan of was the Smashing Pumpkins, and for a while I mostly listened to straightforward alt-rock. Gradually, this sort of synthesized into an appreciation of alternative metal acts such as Faith No More and Helmet. For the next couple of years I went through various genres of metal, and I do still like metal now. However, when I was about thirteen, I got turned on to prog after listening to prog-metal bands like Ayreon and Shadow Gallery, which is my main genre of music now, and through prog I also got into avant-garde/experimental music, and post-punk.
Oh, and you know how every half-assed hipster has some band that he listens to "ironically"? I'm like that with 70's and 80's arena rock bands like Boston, Bon Jovi and REO Speedwagon. Yes, they're cheesier than a Pizza Hut joint (because that totally wasn't cheesy enough), but there's something about them that I enjoy.
