Let me put it this way: let's say I'm out driving and I want to hear something. I could invest in satalite radio or bring along a stack of new cds, flipping through it all 'til something grabs me. I'm sure something would, eventually. But the person I am now (for the most part) would much rather pop in something I know I like or love. Besides, I have such great taste that everything I listen to warrants multiple listens.
I think the age when my tastes more less settled (I do add a band every year or so) was 25. Does this age correspond with anyone else?
Having a thriving local scene makes a difference, I'm sure. There are officially no interesting bands where I live.
