Nature vs. Nurture

This week I've been thinking about how our childhood preferences shape what we become fans of. I was having a conversation with my boyfriend about our different tastes in music and why that may be. One glaring factor was that his childhood was spent in the 80's . . .

and I am the product of the 90s. . . 

Since the music that he and I were surrounded with as children was so different, we now have different tastes in music. I think what's going on is that sometimes when we hear music it triggers a sense of nostalgia that makes us long for a time when our parents drove us around while our favorite pop song was blasting through the radio waves. I think some things you become a fan of is due to your environment and not simply how you were born.
