Music taste before/after becoming a brony

[Lacerna 1,302]

Before: Rock, Techno

 

After: Classic Rock,and bands from 60's-90's, and MLP songs.

[Wicked Funky 2,955]

Before: Nirvana, Red hot chilli peppers, Pearl jam, system of a down, rage against the machine

 

After: Nirvana, Red hot chilli peppers, Pearl jam, System of a down, rage against the machin, MLP sound track, Brony remixes

 

I really feel much happier then Before, the songs in MLP are pure joy and happiness

[CC_Maud_Pie 6,431]

I don't think my musical taste has changed after watching the show. But I did run into some brony music I enjoyed.

[MEOWKB48 1,864]

My musical taste is pretty much the same

[SparklingSquirrels 21,332]

My music taste has definitely changed, but I don't think being an MLP fan has had anything to do with that, since I've never been a fan of brony music.

 

However, it's possible that the fandom has had a slight influence on me, since I've gotten to meet people from all over the world, and perhaps that's how I realized that there is good music in other languages besides English

Before being a brony:

Rock, country

 

After being a brony:

Rock, country, MLP songs and fan made songs.

[NuclearBurg (Dawn) 622]

Electro etc. at first. But after I became a brony I began really enjoying blackgryph0n and stuff.

[Imagine 284]

Before all this, I was into the same shitty pop music that most people like nowadays, but that was when I was young and stupid.

Nowadays, I listen to mostly rock music.

[SilverStarApple 849]

My musical tastes are unchanged.

 

I liked good music before I was a brony. Good rock, metal, dubstep, orchestral, ect. And I dislikes bad genres, like rap. (Though I will admit, I am no rap expert. If there is such thing as good rap music, quote this post and link no less than three good rap songs.)

 

And now, I still like good music from the good music genres.

[Mand'alor Dash 2,224]

Before, I would just listen to whatever was on the radio, but I had a specific love for rock, pop, and orchestral. The oldest stuff I listened to was 80s hair metal.

 

When I joined, I almost immediately formed a reactionary, blood-curdling distaste for the majority of brony music. Not all, but definitely the vast majority. This soon spread to almost all electronic music (with the exception of ambient sci-fi music. I still adore that shit.), and then eventually to almost all modern music in general (again, though, there are certainly exceptions). Nowadays, about 90% of what I listen to is mid 20th century classics (from the late 30s to early-mid 70s), but with special exemptions given to modern songs that stand out from the crowd.

 

So, basically Rock, Jazz, Blues, Big Band, Swing, and classic R+B.

[Jackleberry 1,921]

Before: Mostly mainstream music, things like pop, rock, etc. and there weren't many songs in my playlist.

 

After: Mostly brony music, more along the lines of dubstep, electro, etc. and I had a rather large selection of songs.

 

Current: Pretty much entirely xKito and Monstercat music, with a much wider variety of genres (dubstep, melodic dubstep, chillstep, drumstep, drum and bass, glitch hop, house, future bass, etc.), and still a pretty large selection so far. :3

 

So yeah, it definitely changed over time after I became a brony.

Wow I don't find many people who like monstercat as well. Brohoof to you my friend /)

[Commander Shep-herd 64]

Before: Things like Muse,Linkin Park, Daft Punk, Prodigy and Pendulum and Eminem. So rock, drum 'n' bass and some rap.

After: Lot more electronic, house, club style, and I listen to a lot more remixes. Don't listen to Linkin Park, Prodigy and Pendulum, but still listen to Muse and Daft Punk, and every now and then Eminem.

[Raritas 6,820]

I've always loved Rock and Metal, but ever since joining the fandom and listening to all the great music it produces, I've certainly become a big fan of dubstep and stuff similar. I honestly never thought I would, but it's awesome!

[IcyHaze 594]

Nothing changed, and there's anot a single poiny song I've heard that I haven't disliked. I skip them in the episodes and I avoid the fan made ones.

[Dark Horse 12,961]

It's pretty much the same, I don't really have a preferred genre of music. If I like a song, I'll listen to it. Simple as.

 

I've all kinds of music on my player, after watching the show the only thing that changed was that the soundtrack was added, and a few fanmade tracks I've come across.

[Toaster Bot 183]

I've always been into chiptune, rock (of various prefixes), orchestral (not limiting it to classical), VGMs, and sometimes J-Pop. Oh, and that music made my screeching floppy disk drives.

Once I became a brony, I was obviously exposed to the brony music scene. So, dubstep, all that sort of EDM stuff.

I hate it.
I still like what I've always liked, but I have a new distaste for all this EDM and dubstep that wears the label of "brony music". Oftentimes it fallaciously wears the label of "music", too.

[GenderIsAnIllusion 2,177]

My taste in music hasent really changed at all...

[MechanicalDoom 300]

I liked metal/rock and dubstep before, but now I find myself enjoying only electronic music. I like the metal covers of MLP songs, but regular old rock seems kinda boring to me now, which is ironic because my OC is a metalhead. I'll have to change that, now won't I? XD

[Simcity11100 772]

Nope, hasn't changed, always have loved uplifting trance and hard trance plus @ProjectRKA has introduced me to hardstyle so I can thank him for that.

[Sir Punicpunch 1,688]

I've been gaining more respect for other genres of music via My Little Pony.

 

1. My Little Pony songs are life...

2. Weird Al's Polka is very upbeat and makes me happy

3. I recently saw the Beat It PMV, and I know respect Michael Jackson's music 10x more.

 

Also, NO ONE TOLD ME ABOUT THE PMV!

Ahem, sorry...It was so beautiful... here have one:

[Emerald Star 513]

My tastes didn't change that much. Before I was into rock and metal, still am. Something that has changed is I find myself enjoying some dubstep and electronic music when I used to hate it, and listen to a lot of fan made songs. I still like metal though.

[Scrubbed user 3,416]

I wouldn't say my taste has changed, but when I hear songs from an artist I haven't heard from before, I just think "why haven't I heard of them before?".

[An Unknown Pony. 370]

Almost the same

Before:

I listen to Dubstep,DnB,Country and classical,Disco,Funk,Rock,Heavy Metal,1980's pop,Hiphop,Rap Etc.

After:

More Brony Music which leads me to listen to more dubstep/DnB with vocals,The Rest Kept the same

[Coco before Pommel 678]

Well, my music taste has changed a lot on its own before I got into MLP...for example, I used to be really into pop-punk/what was then called "emo" music, mostly Fall Out Boy and Panic! at the Disco. I still listen to those bands occasionally, but now it's more a mix of pop, dance (more old school/90s influenced stuff than EDM/dubstep) and guitar/"indie" music.

 

After discovering MLP, it's the same plus all the songs from the show/EQG   I don't really listen to the fan-made stuff - there are some songs I like okay if I hear them randomly at a con or something or a friend recommends them, but I don't typically seek out brony music to listen to on my own.
