Until middle school I was listening to what the radio played, Greek pop and other styles we have and "international" pop etc, that's what my parents liked, so I had no choice or exposure to any other genre since we only had a cassette player, but during my teenage years in middle school I started hearing on the radio and from classmates sometimes evanescence and Linkin Park and when I bought my first computer soon after I started downloading everything from them using emule and limewire, it's a wonder I didn't get a million viruses.
Then came System of a Down, I got into a bit of a hip-hop/rap phase cause of fast and furious and the need for speed games back then, but ultimately through friends and classmates I settled into rock/metal as my main genre. I still listen to all the aforementioned bands, but I also like arch enemy, blind guardian, bullet for my valentine, disturbed, epica, iron maiden, lacuna coil, machine head, nightwish, sabaton, slipknot and within temptation, I also like various pop songs, some rap/hip-hop, many Japanese songs from anime I have watched, some electronic, and I am always searching for new stuff but Linkin Park and evanescence will always have a special place in my heart
