I heard a person's musical taste is from what is fimilar to them when they are a child. What music person hears a child hears the scales that music uses becomes normal and then after a certain age what they will sound foriegn and strange. Some describe language as being hardwired in the brain, the same thing happens to a certain type of music too. That doesn't mean if your parents like country you'll like country, but the scales you hear in Country music are the same intervals used in the scales in Western music so that becomes the scale intervals sound normal and other scale with more different intervals sound more exotic. People who heard Western music think it sounds strange because it uses a tempered scale.
I guess because of the media they're is a wide range of world music that a person has the chance of hearing; they is a chance now that people will grow up with different musical taste the people a generation before them -it all depends though.
