And over time your tastes change and grow because you change as a person. Sometimes you think "Man, how could I have ever liked that band?", but at that point in your life they had meaning and importance. Thats really how songs are too. Something that really hits home now might not have nearly as much effect tomorrow.
Bands are all related at least somewhat remotely, which is how you can be "influenced" into liking a particular genre. Hence why I believe some of the bigger "punk" bands (blink-182, Green Day), can pull people into listening to better music within the genre. I don't know if any of this is making sense. I'm tired...
