I grew up in a middle class home, in a middle class neighborhood. Went to a middle class school filled with middle class kids. I know, once again, fascinating. My early years (circa 10 years old) of music fascination/appreciation/obsession started like how I can only assume most childrens' begin. I listened to and loved what was forced down my throat by my peers and the media. If it was on Q101, B96, MTV, or my friends liked it--I in turn liked it.
The Rap Game
-Bone Thugs n Harmony
-Crucial Conflict
-Snoop Dogg
The Rock Game
-Smashing Pumpkins
-Nirvana
-Oasis
The "Electronica" Game
-Prodigy
-Chemical Brothers
-Crystal Method
There were no other games, but many other artists. I have a tiny place in my heart for many of these original obsessions. I'm not sure if it's because I genuinely enjoy(ed) their music or because they bring back memories of simpler times. Either way, as I'm beginning a hobby of DJ'ing, I'm always on the lookout for remixes of these kinds of childhood classics.
