There are several reasons which play an important role in ours musical preferences. Personally, I believe that this preferences are due to the place where we live and our history life combined with the feelings and emotions that we can remember among the others variables that we are not aware. I feel this way for a few reasons, which I will explore in the following essay.

First of all and foremost the platforms, where the music is commercialized and where we listen to, are programmed according to the geographic place where we live. Furthermore the feelings that you feel in the moment that you listen to, your lifestyle since your childhood to present days, experiences that you have lived with the different genres of music and the different groups that you belonged according to these kinds of music; are significant features when choosing what to listen to. For instance, when I was a child, I only had access to the music that I could buy in compact disk, then, the local bands and songwriters were more prominent and popular than another musicians around the world. This aspect combined with the social interaction in the adolescence and the relationships within peers make difference in the kind of music or genre that you choose listen to. I remember when I was a teenager the most of my friends listened to rock music so I liked rock music to the extent that it allowed me to belong to the group.

Through the years and according to the develop of technology and the emerge of the music platforms, the access to an enormous amount of genres of music is available for everyone. With the commercialization of music in different genres and styles offered by the industry, they become into simple musical formulas without affectation for the territory where they was born. In that sense the mainstreams genres lack a significant part of meanings that it evolves in their concretes manifestations. For this reason I dislike some genres of music. For instance, I don´t like mainstream or really popular genres. I am always seeking originals performances in each style, and I have interest in that kind of music that it is difficult to classify in one genre. I love boundaries in the art expressions.

To sum up, our choices are guided for a several variables at the time of listening specific genre or style of music which we think that define us. They do not depend only on our taste, and our taste has been built along our life for this reasons among others.
