re: Has your taste in music ever just completely change pretty much over night?

Sort of. Other than the fact that I also like Disco, our musical tastes seem pretty similar. There are a lot of songs that I loved growing up that I'd be more than happy to never hear again.
New Wave from the 80s is one genre that I've never really burned out on, but I try to avoid listening to it on a regular basis.
After playing as Brazil in Civ V a few years ago, I started getting interested in Bossa Nova, which led to an interest in Jazz. That's what I listen to most of the time now. But it didn't really happen overnight.
If I was going to listen to country it'd definitely be from the 80s and further back.

I discover or re-discover music genres and bands all the time.

I came of age listening to and collecting what was then called progressive rock — Yes, ELP, King Crimson, Procol Harem, Pink Floyd, Crack the Sky…etc. Then, one day that stuff was unlistenable to me, still is.
I gravitated to the Austin sound/outlaw country and even some punk/new wave. That is still in my wheelhouse.
Rock - I like it loud, simple and raw.
Country - Telecaster and steel twang. Fiddle is okay(no strings).
Surf - Liquid reverb loudly.
Jazz and Big Band - Absolutely.

Yes.
I now love big band/swing music from the 30s and 40s. Benny Goodman, Artie Shaw, Glenn Miller, Tommy Dorsey...
Never could stand it while growing up.

I'm with you. Grew up listening to Top 40, got into classic rock / hair bands / new wave, then got into classic country, 70 R&B and rockabilly in older age.
I've also enjoyed going in the opposite direction discovering artist who influenced the early rockers in blues, pop etc. going back to the 1920's. Seeing how the Ink Spots creaated the blueprint for doo-wop and 70's R&B and singers like Louis Jordan and Johnnie Ray's over the top delivery influenced people like Elvis, Jerry Lee and Little Richard.

How were they?
Posted on 10/29/21 at 7:04 am to hogcard1964
In my formative years, in the mid-80s... growing up in BR all I ever heard was radio pop/rock/metal/classic rock... a little "mainstream" punk that I liked..
All those records literally went in the garbage can when I discovered college radio and other alternative forms of music...
Also, in the early 90s I explored more roots/country music and fell in love with that, but still liked guitar based rock..
Over the years Ive delved into all sorts of genres of music, but the common denominator was always outside what was mainstream and that goes back to the eye opening I had in the 80s..

Heh, give it time. I'm jamming to Karn Evil 9 now and loving it. Haven't listened to ELP in a few decades. Lex Fridman's discussion of artificial intelligence led me back down this rabbit hole.
My musical taste never changed overnight. But it has shifted greatly to emphasize alt country and folk in addition to anything interesting/creative from the 60's-70's. Zappa and the Dead I picked up on when a bit older. But I still go on binges with The Who and Jethro Tull.
So I guess the answer is basically no, but it has matured.

Yes, I went from virtually never hearing a Grateful Dead song other than Truckin' to be a concert attending*, merch buying, playlist making "elder Deadhead" after 40 years of being Led Zep, Who, Stones type 70's hard rock n roller,
And yes, it happened virtually overnight. At the start of Covid-19 when we were sent home in March of 2020 and I put on earbuds and started building what turned out to be a massive flower bed. At the same time I was also grieving my Mom who passed in Jan of 2020 to a "mysterious breathing ailment". Their songs and jams took me to another place....and I suggest it to anyone who is skeptic to try it!
*Saw Dead and Company 2 weeks ago!

Grew up on Van Halen, Motley, AC/DC, SRV, etc. Got into old school blues, then dabbled in jazz, bluegrass. Still listen to all that.
Hated country as a youth. Now Outlaw Country on XM is my main station for the last three years. Still don’t like modern “country.” I pretty much agree with the views of Savingcountrymusic.com. That’s where I find a lot of new music.

Early on in college, I suddenly stopped listening to the current “hard” rock of the time (Breaking Benjamin, Chevelle, Shinedown, Seether, Tool, Three Days Grace, Disturbed, etc) and shifted hard into 70’s Funk and jazz fusion (Tower of Power, EW&F, Chicago, Weather Report, P-Funk, etc)

I use to like Garth Brooks but now I just don't like his music anymore. He comes off as weird and fake. I always like George Strait better and comes off as honest music.

That depends on the decade. The further back you go, the better the songwriting and music.

Country like folk music talked the plight of the common man. It is hard for the youth to understand as they weren't old enough to live through the pain of life. It use to be the genre for older adults. But now it is pure shite.

Some of the change is typical. And I still go back to music I used to like even though it's vastly different than my current taste. Some of it I can't believe I ever listened to it.
I can admit that my first concert I chose to go to was Creed in 8th or 9th grade (can't listen now without laughing at myself). Then in high school I was introduced to Dave Matthews by college aged cousin and went through the typical frat-boy jam band phase. I still like a lot of DMB stuff, but saw them a couple years ago and can't get into it like I used to. Then I was introduced to early Black Keys and remember dropping the DMB stuff, haha. Then had a Old 97's/Son Volt/Ryan Adams phase that probably still makes up most of my listening. As I get older, I go back and listen to it all, but it's funny to see the changes I made along the way.
My dad is big into music and my wife works for a venue so we get to go to many shows for free. A lot of those shows are classic rock and my dad I are always talking about the shows we got to see. I think I take after him now that I really get a feel for his taste and knowledge. He's all over the place as well.
