Music taste before/after becoming a brony

[Meson Bolt 2,648]

Gotta say, I think becoming a brony opened me up to a lot of electronic music. I'd say that's mostly due to The Living Tombstone and his stuff.

Considering almost all that I listen to now is electronic music and its subgenres, I'm pretty happy that I caught onto it. x3

[Tacodidra 61,168]

I've listened to basically all kinds of music for years – any genre can have songs I like, even if I prefer some (such as rock). As such, I don't think becoming a brony had an effect on my music taste at all. I do listen to pony songs sometimes, but that they're about ponies is only a part of their appeal – I'm sure I'd have liked many of them anyway, if I had found them somehow (in fact, I listened to a couple of MLP songs a while before I finally started watching the series).

[Kevin Tang 2,426]

Hmmmm....it doesnt really change but for sure, I listen to MLP musics more than I do with other musics

For example :

Back then, running in the 90s & dejavu (initial d). Now, Discord by Eurobeat Brony

just a small change, I still do listen to other musics from every now and then but MLP songs just dominate right now

[Denim&Venöm 18,961]

They haven't really. Metal-head before Bronydom and metal-head after. The only real change of note was exploring more sub-genres, as my joining the heard came only a few years after delving further into heavy metal as both a genre and a subculture.

My music tastes have changed regardless of me being a fan of MLP. MLP hasn't inspired me to change my music tastes.

[Alto Legato 12]

Before: 

Dubstep from : AU5, Fractal;

House from: Tobu. 

After: 

MLP songs from the show, especially remixes;

Bach's fugues and Mozart's classics works, Lizts etudes and Rasphady;

Dubstep from: Au5, L.M, AjYoung, Susiki, Mentlegen, Exiark, Einarx.... etc...

[DixonTheAdversary 1,632]

My music tastes has remained pretty much unchanged since I became a brony. I have discovered a few new bands and such from other members on the Forums, but my taste hasn't been changed at all.

[Dreambiscuit 9,691]

My musical tastes are the same (classical, showtunes and movie soundtracks) except that now I listen to a lot of music from MLP as well. 

[Partialgeek514 5,011]

Well, I will say that I've listened to a lot more pony music since becoming a brony than before.  I think my tastes have changed a bit because of it though. I'm a lot more into hard and energetic electronic and metal music than I used to be, though most of it's still pony stuff. No one else in my family likes that stuff. 

[Prospekt 11,018]

My music taste has remained mostly the same: predominantly alternative rock. Though this fandom did introduce me to synthwave, which I do enjoy.

[The Historian 516]

I was a metalhead before ponies, and I am still a metalhead after ponies. So no, nothing changed.

[Lucky Bolt 35,063]

I forgot to mention in my previous post that the MLP fandom HAS introduced me to synthwave and electronic/dubstep. I love synthwave A LOT

[Savy 5,077]

Before getting into MLP I was (and still am actually) into a lot of Pop, 80's, and a lot of indie music.

But MLP definitely introduced me to Dubstep and Synthwave music, and I'm forever grateful for that.

[Sonic Shimmer 4,132]

I was a rocker and a metalhead long before MLP and I'll continue to be both of those things decades from now.

[Clawdeen 14,147]

My music taste hasn’t really changed

[ExplosionMare 18,062]

MLP music never influenced my music tastes but I would have to say that pony pop is the only pop I tolerate besides a select few singers

[IronM17 5,373]

Since I got into the fandom, my music taste hat a lot of changes in this time. Before I became a fan of the show, I only listened to metal and also really heavy stuff like Thrash and Death Metal. While I was in the fandom, I got a big interest into EDM. Nowadays, I still listen to metal (but mostly progressive and melodic death metal) and EDM (mostly prog House and uplifting Trance), but I also have a big interest into Rock, Indie and Folk. You can say my music taste got bigger and more open. But I also would not say that this has something to do with MLP (ecept maybe for EDM).

Not like my music taste actually just changes. I love music of all kinds (except rap), and the Brony music scene is quite interesting.

[Tom Gallagher 33,588]

Just anything real. Real playing, real good singing, none of that manufactured chart noise they call music. 

[Snow 7,035]

Seems to be to common answer, no taste change to speak of in my case I simply added MLP show and fan music to my playlists 

Still love all the songs I listened to before though I have discovered new genres to appreciate as well  

[Longhaul 6,868]

No real change, I still like the same kinds of music I always did.  A couple of fan projects may have worked their way in there, but nothing drastic beyond that.

[Starlight Serenade 3,267]

Ever since joining the fandom, most of my music tastes have remained the same. Of course, I've added MLP music to the mix, but lately, I've been listening to more metal and electro swing than before, thanks to certain people

[Finding_Marty 824]

I guess becoming a brony had no effect on my music taste. It has been changing over the years and i defiantelly don't listen that much metal as I used to. However, I would like to visit some metal festivals soon because they're the best
