According to science, 14 years old is the specific age at which you start to discover/form your musical preferences.
What were you listening to at 14 years old?
Do you still listen to those bands or genres?
What were you listening to before 14?

Personally I was getting into metal and punk, mostly through pop-punk and nu-metal.
And no, thankfully I don't listen to those genres anymore. I listened exclusively to metal and punk for nearly a decade so I had more than enough of those two genres. I wouldn't branch out to unrelated genres until my early 20s.
When I was a kid I would just listen to whatever was on the radio, I preferred alternative rock over anything else. My first casette tapes were Green Day's Dookie and Weezer's pinkerton.

Protip: if you want people to respond to your thread make it short

At 14 I was into classic rock and progressive rock for the most part. But it was also around the time I discovered krautrock, ambient and IDM

Probably not the pop-punk I was into at the time, but too much of a good thing ends up being bad.

I was listening to shit like Pogo. Still an amazing artist from an aesthetic point of view, but his songwriting has gotten gimmicky.

Fair enough
I evolved into post punk, noise rock etc but I still listen to an awful amount of pop punk bands lel

Rap. Eminem and the rest of his camp, D12, Dr. Dre, 50 Cent, Obie Trice, The Game. From there to other rap. To older rap.
Then came GTA soundtracks which was my entry into a bunch of genres.

I was mostly listening to msi

Yep, this just about hits the nail on the head for me, too. It's actually a bit startling just how accurate it is to my experiences

I was a pretty big rap fan when I was 14. Eminem, Luda, DMX, early Lil Wayne, Jay Z, Outkast, some Nas, Dre, Binary Star, Tribe, Portishead, etc
Then the Killers came on to the scene and I got really in to them and Interpol. From there I was more in to post-punk and new wave while still remaining a pretty decent rap fan. I did have a period where I was into Postal Service/Death Cab but never really liked them as much.

Like what, in the style of like Simple Plan and Green Day, or like The Queers and The Descendents?

started listening to horror punk at that age, made me appreciate the internet as a resource for digging up underground bands and downloading music, pretty much laid the foundation for the magical hipster I am today.
