"what does it mean to have an eclectic taste (in music,) and how is it you have one?"
well.
this question is difficult to answer.
i claim to have an eclectic taste in music with absolutely no pride whatsoever.
exploring different genres of music is enlightening as well as terrifying.
seeking out new music is exciting and fun, and the payoff is when you find a really great band that you've never heard of before.
however.
a constantly expanding music taste can collapse on itself.
i admit, that if i had never left the classic/psychedelic rock genre that i was obsessed with in high school, i would never had found most of the great music i listen to today. but hearing new and different music has killed my love for classic and psychedelic rock in a way. it will never have the same effect on me that it once had.
expanding your musical horizons also lets in alot of terrible music.
ultimately, though, listening to a wide range of music will let you appriciate all music more.
so, every day i try and listen to one new album.
at least.
but in the time that it took you to read this, you could have probably listened to a track off of a new (or old) album.
but...eh...
i guess the short answer is: never say "no" to anything.
that's it.
anyway, i enjoyed writing this, so keep the questions cumming.
