[QUOTE="bloodtide, post: 9357717, member: 6684958"] I think a lot of the "likes what was from their teens or slightly before" comes from a common social ritual..... Music is the perfect example, so I will use that..... As a pre teen...you start to really to listen to music and you start to form your musical taste. Your young and impressionable......and a blank slate. Then comes....The Day. Maybe it's a cousin, or an uncle or a friend of your dad or just someone older..and cooler...then you. And you go over and see their music room. Their Music room is full of posters, pictures, lights, framed items, and more. They have lots of vinyl records, 45's, cassettes, CDs and digital copies. And they have stories....endless stories....about seeing band or singers live...going to concerts...and more. But most of all is the passion. When they sit down and talk about the artist/band like they know them personally. About how the Album Dull Needle was when the band shifted their music to neo classic something something and redefined the music scene something something and how much it was amazing to them and meant so much and how they followed along. When they show you an album cover where the singer wrote a short message....and they come close to crying when they read it to you.... This sort of thing....raw emotion...deep feelings...passion....sticks in the young pre teens mind....and heart and soul. Not too amazingly, they might become a fan..... [/QUOTE]
