Music taste before/after becoming a brony

[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.

Not a whole lot has changed:

 

I still like Disco, Funk, House, Soul and all the stuff I liked before. I’ve just added pony to the stuff I listen to. Like Ingram’s music for the show, and some remixes of them but that’s about it.

Before: The typical "emo" type music, Bring me the Horizon, Nightwish and such. Just that and EDM of all sorts.

After: NEARLY EVERY GENRE. Since I am really into music, and the brony community has so much of it, I decided to check it out. Now I enjoy stuff ranging from MandoPony, Evening Star, and Aviators. I have gained an appreciation for all music. I now have every singe type of music out there probably crammed on my IPod somewhere.

The MLP fandom is responsible for me now liking dubtep

[Guest90210 3,567]

I've mainly listened to rock and rap throughout my life. Specifically; nu-metal, alternative, post-grunge, and punk rock (for the most part), along with all sorts of rap. Once in a while there was a dubstep or electronic song or two that I'd dabble in, but for the most part I avoided the genre.

 

Since becoming a brony, I've branched out more into the electronic scene and thoroughly enjoy a large sum of songs in the genre. The brony music scene certainly assisted with that. One of my favorite dubstep/electrnic producers is actually a brony, DJ-Pon3.

Before I was a Brony, I was into Coldplay and Britpop music.

After I became a Brony... I was still into Coldplay and Britpop music.

So I don't think watching My Little Pony did anything to my music taste.

[PROJECT: Simon 3,953]

I never liked songs. After I watched EG, now I like songs. xD

[Thunderlane 550]

I now can accept a bigger range of music (before I was very narrow minded)

I also listen out for more BGM and Scores in films

[KatonRyu 1,026]

Before, I listened to Uplifting and Euphoric Trance, Rock, Hard Rock, Punk Rock and some Metal.

 

For the most part I still do, although I listen to music from the show as well now. I don't listen to brony-made music though, since I usually don't see the connection to the show or like the music style.

You made a valid point. There are so many works out there that the makers claim is pony related, but you'd never know from listening to it.

Altough MLP has nothing to do with it, I began listening to a lot pf Disturbed songs after becoming a Brony. Now I can't stop listening to them!

After: Coldplay (and video game music as wellllll)

Before I was a Brony I was heavily into Metal and all forms of metal. Deathcore, Mayhem, Grindcore, Heavy, Nu-Metal, and soft metal. Country, rock, rap, and pop were also my thing. 

After I became a Brony, my music tastes stayed the same...for the most part. I stopped listening to Metal, since Brony music to its place. Dubstep and house came onto my list of favourited genres which was a huge suprise for me. Before, I hated the stuff and would poke fun at it constantly. I would be hanging with friends and I would be like, "Hey, I can do dubstep!" and then make farting noises. Now, Dubstep, house, trance, and anything inbetween is always on my Iphone. Also, being a brony made me a raver.

[Metallic Strings 185]

It's pretty much the same as before, but i got strangely addicted to progressive rock since i became a brony.

My favorite progressive rock band is tool.

Ever heard the entirety of 2112? It's a true masterpiece of music if you ask me.

If you like Rush, check out Coheed and Cambria

[Invincible 2,090]

I love the same things i loved before. 70's, 80's, even a few 90's hits. Rock & metal variations, Jazz, instrumentals, Techno, electronica, etc. I listen to tons of different music either way.

[rarity1 461]

Before I was a brony, I mostly listened to genres such as Nu Metal, Heavy Metal and Thrash Metal.

Now that I am a brony, I listen to more Death Metal.  Maybe it's a MLP influence?

[Moonbutt 87]

Before: Dubstep, DnB, Electronic.

 

After: Prog/Tech/Symphonic/Death metal, Djent.

[10InTheTardis 509]

before becoming a brony, my taste in music was pretty neutral, I liked basicly all the songs that were popular when they were popular (exept "the fox", i have always, and will always, hate that song.  :okiedokielokie: ) I liked chiptune, I think I was the only one who really did, and I didn't like metal, dubstep, or basicly any song that was loud, I guess they were 2spooky4me. my favourite song was safe and sound, I also liked pompeii and for a while I liked some chiptune band called IFightDragons, but I suppose none of you have heard of it. (two years ago I thought it was cool because no one had heard of it. basically I was hipster commander Shepard. "If you've heard about it, it's already too mainstream for me.")

 

now I love almost all electronic music, especially chiptune (even though most chiptune songs aren't really that popular.), but I still hate dubstep, ironically after becoming a brony, I've disliked it even more, even though a lot of brony music is dubstep. safe and sound and pompeii are still my jams  . I've also started listening to songs with more of a beat than before, such as discord (I'm pretty sure it's a remix, but I'm not sure by who, but considering this is MLP and we're talking about a song remix, I think it's safe to assume it was the living tombstone.) Also, there have always been songs that I love even though I usually don't like that kind of music. anyways, basically, it's like whatever kind of music I sort of preferred before I now love, and whatever music I kind of didn't like before, I just can't stand, although I don't think MLP has much to do with it, except maybe me liking remix-y type songs with more of a beat.

I can't exactly say my musical tastes changed because of a new show/fandom I was a part of. I've always been a big fan of pop music and that still hasn't changed

[Astral Blitzen 469]

My musical taste is unchanged. I still liekz zee metal and jazz and blues and old skool rap.

[Tetris 115]
