Do you ever listen to the songs that your parents like？Chances are that you don't.You probably think the music that they like is old and boring and that the songs on your playlist are much cooler.But scientists found that people's music taste changes as time goes by.So it is likely that your own musical preferences will follow a similar path to your parents'，whether you like it or not.
We used to think that culture and personality（个性）are the only reasons for different music choices.But researchers at the University of Cambridge noticed that as people enter into different age groups,their social environment changes,and so does their music taste.There are some musical periods that people go through in their life.
The first period comes in the teenage years,during which people like strong music such as punk and rock,because teenagers tend to be aggressive or want to be independent.
But as people move into early adulthood,their lifestyles change they want to build close relationships with others.As a result,they become fonder of contemporary music,such as pop and R&.B，which is usually uplifting and danceable.
When middle age comes,most people have settled down.During this period,people prefer music,such as jazz and classical,as well as music like country,folk and blues.
As for old people,they prefer old songs in their childhoods.They generally listen to relaxing music,such as country music and jazz music.But you must be questioning. "Aren't there old people who are still interested in or even crazy about rock music？" Of course there are.But their reasons for listening to rock music may have changed.At that age people may listen to remind themselves of their youth.
