Any music or bands that you used to like but not anymore?

Be it whether we have other commitments, a change in music tastes or peer pressure; we will disown some bands or genres that we used to be completely crazy about. What are yours?

BQ: A band or genre that you liked, rejected and then adopted again?

    Bands? Too many to name. My favorite genres change all the time. So my favorite bands change when I grow out of some genre.

    I'm 23 right now. When I was around 10-12, I was into Nu Metal and Mainstream Pop. I moved to Mainstream Punk around 13-15. Then, Modern Rock and Pop Punk when I was 16-18. I went into Classical music and Classic Rock phase after that. Then, I went through all kinds of metal, industrial and different kinds of electronic music in the past few years. I'm currently into these genres. There's a tag/genre cloud on my last.fm profile page. http://www.last.fm/user/HanzelGretyl

    BA: Currently, none but I like to revisit my past favorite genres/bands form time to time.

    I've gone on and off the Beatles a few times. I love or hate Madonna depending what she's doing. Used to love INXS now can't stand them. I was 12 when I started liking them and I think it was the first real rock I had heard so I was impressed but the singer was just an idiot Jim Morrison wannabe.

    I hated David Bowie until I discovered his earlier work. Liked Michael Jackson because everyone else did at the time don't like him now.

    George Michael I took a long break from when he started doing stupid things but I rediscovered him later this time for his talent not looks.

    Lately I like some really old stuff and ballads I never used to listen to. Just getting older...

    Back in seventh grade I got really into the new wave/dark wave stuff (I had this Depeche Mode obsession). But when I got to high school I ditched that 80s stuff and started listening to bands like Bring Me the Horizon and Of Mice & Men. Until beginning of sophomore year I reverted back to the New Wave stuff (Depeche Mode, Bauhaus, The Cure, etc.) and now I still love new wave music. The whole emo thing was a phase and I really missed listening to bands like Depeche Mode. Now that I look back I cannot believe I even listened to all that screaming stuff. It's just not me. But anyways I hope I answered your question :)

    I'd rather not say, in my teen years I jumped onto the pop-rock emo-ish bandwagon and was listening to bands like 3 days grace, all american rejects, my chemical romance, etc.

    Bonus question: I listened to heavy metal all throughout late middle school and beginning of high school, stopped for a few years, now I've picked it up again.

    When I first started listening to music I was in to pop punk/alt rock..bands like new found glory, taking back sunday, sum 41, alkaline trio, mest, mxpx, etc... then for a while I hated pop punk and got really into hardcore and punk and now I'm slowly getting back into some of the pop punk bands I used to listen to

    I used to listen to whatever was popular like pop and R&B like Backstreet Boys, Blackstreet, LFO, Boyz II Men etc but I dont really like it anymore. I think its more people who are old enough to have not had Youtube/file sharing/Spotify who just listened to whatever.

    I used to like more 'emo' bands like escape the fate, black veil brides, for all those sleeping, funeral for a friends etc. That was a long time ago.

    I use to love Ozzy Osbourne. I knew someone who loved "Bark at the Moon" and they treated me terrible, so now I can't stand hearing it. I guess it's associating the song to the person and since I hate the person, I hate the song/artist.
