I think it goes both ways, we influence music and in turn music influences us. I love many of the singers you mentioned, but I have to say I love Taylor Swift too. But that could be because my 5 year old adores her songs. (The kid adores the Chipmunks though too.)

My music collection has everything from Medival, to Alternative, to Old Blues, to Jazz, to Classical, to Classic Rock, to Funk to Folk & Bluegrass… I’m sure I’m forgetting a few. Variety is the spice of life ;D

I like the idea that society influences music… if you think about it, someone has to come up with the dances, the clothes, the hairstyles, etc etc… People go through different emotions and situations in their lives that inspire them to create. So they create something, and in the spirit of the artist, want to be new and cutting edge… and along come new mutt genres (pop-country, rock-pop, rock-pop-country, etc) and new styles, etc.

When it comes to what I like to listen to… I’m a stereotypical ‘teeny bopper’ who likes all that pop and country stuff. But that doesn’t mean that my “angry music”, like Mudvayne, Slipknot, Limp Bizkit (early stuff), Three Days Grace (early stuff), etc isn’t tops on my Zune! I love all music… unless it’s talking about drugs and treating women poorly!

I have always liked a variety of music of different gendres. I think different trends will go with different generations, it is only normal. We all relate to the turmoiled times of our adolescence and hold on to it later in life as nostalgia….
I love that there are so many choices when it comes to music..just like there are so many different people in the world.

I feel that it goes like this, a few thinkers outside the box end up influencing music, then I think that music ends up influencing at least some parts of society. It doesn’t influence all of society because there are many different levels of society, mostly due to the broad age ranges and in the U.S.A. the many different cultural/ethnic people in our society.
