I was raised on all things metal. Anthrax, Metallica, Megadeth, and Slayer turned into Sound Garden, and Pearl Jam. I grew out of it because it wasn't going anywhere, and then later on I found it wasn't really going anywhere to begin with. I listen to bands like KMFDM and Disturbed now and again, but mostly I cant get into the genre anymore. There just seems so much more to be desired
Same'ish - Antrhax, Metallica, Pantera, also liked a lot of skater thrash and alternative (Suicidal Tendencies, Jane's Addiction, Faith No More, etc.). I think the trouble was; all the creative stuff or deep content type ish - ie. Tool, Alice In Chains, etc. just fell down. Somehow we had loads of depth in it when I was a kid (early 90's) now if you want anything that will move you you're stuck looking to the UK.
These days my name says most of what you need to know - dark jungle, deeper/more ambient dubstep, physicalistic ambient, IDM, anything with a mood that can pull me in head first. That's something that I got used to back in the early 90's when we were making stuff like that, these days electronic seems like the freshest thing out there ATM and its been that way it seems for the past decade (well... outside of Muse, Killers, etc.). Hopefully the US will deal with its confines a little or have some record labels who aren't avidly fighting progress to keep us as sonically backward as possible.
