There's another similar comment which I'm also inclined to accept that
says that the music you will always prefer is whatever music you are
listening to when you first achieve social mobility.   I guess this is
true enough for me in that my preferred type of music spans the period
covering the last year or so at school and my first year or so in the
wide world of employment - probably the first bit of serious social
adjusting I had to do!    Certainly by age 24 my preferences were firmly
fixed and although I may have both expanded and augmented this over the
years my overall preferred type of music style and sound has not altered.

Yours in moosical appreciation
