Of course, some people's tastes develop as they age, as yours did and as mine do. But we become bombarded with such basic stuff I think it stunts us. You know the type of person who never gets further than the tunes he listened to in high school. I think that's the average, which is why the arts suffer. Most peoples standards are too basic and low. It takes effort to educate yourself about the arts and effort to train yourself to acquire a taste for stuff. You know the phrase, it's an acquired taste.

It takes time to go from three chord pop to classical or jazz, or anime to classical art. To understand the the physics, history and technique behind great art as compared to watch the tube.

Most adults listen to juvenile, simple music and don't know anything about art. That other stuff is ok, but appreciation of the deeper stuff is important for an adults development.
