Interesting. Many people I talk to about this stuff tell me they basically only like whatever they used to listen to when they were teenagers and have a hard time getting into other musical genres as an adult. You also see it in non-niche nightclubs generally broadcasting a mix of pop music from 10 years ago + a few recent viral hits. They know what demographics to target.

I hated the music when I was growing up in the 90s. Especially the dance music, so dull, so repetitive, bland. Dubstep, now that's something I can go with. Its fab.

Definitely age specific - I listen to almost nothing I enjoyed as a teenager anymore - mostly emo and metalcore. I do find myself listening to music that I enjoyed during my formative years more often though. For me this was early 20’s. My bro science rationale is that we attach music we enjoy to our formative years.
