Link the closest Billboard Hot 100 archive to your 13th birthday
Allegedly this is significant to how your musical preferences develop somehow idk, it was a thing on reddit for a while.
Mine is pretty unimpressive. You know it's the height of the ringtone rap era when "This Is Why I'm Hot" was at the top of the charts.
There's a couple songs I don't honestly recognize on here. "Here" by Hellogoodbye? There's also some that I forgot about until now (I don't think there has ever been a single Blue October fan on the planet but "Into The Ocean" was popular for a while).
Also "King Kong" by Jibbs and Chamillionaire is on here, that has to count for something.

sounds about right
liked it but never really got into Jay Sean (and Lil Wayne is hit or miss)
liked the song but it got overplayed to all hell and I loathe Miley now
Jay-Z's not bad, I wanted to marry Rihanna in my younger years, and Kanye is an ass but his music is Good
some Derulo songs are okay but he can't sing live worth a shit
I actually did have a BEP phase during the END era so that one's actually kind of accurate
Gaga's not bad, not my Favorite and I don't hail her as The True Gay Icon but she is capable of cranking out some great tunes
I only actually started enjoying Taylor in earnest once she cut the country shit and went full pop; I think her stance on streaming and the distribution of her music is self-centered and toxic, however, and while I've gotten over the whole shaming her for her relationships thing I still feel like there's a certain degree of pettiness to airing out all of her dirty laundry in her work
Mariah's okay, and Obsessed actually is one of my favorites by her (though it has nothing on All I Want For Christmas Is You or her stuff from The Emancipation of Mimi)
no
see #3, also Alicia isn't bad
(no. 11 is more reflective of my taste than any of these)
I'm pretty sure that at that age I actually paid less attention to pop music than I do now.

Here.
Looking at these songs, if anything, my tastes have been defined in opposition to stuff like this. I dimly remember "1, 2 Step" in a not entirely negative light but I barely remember it at all.
Eww, Chris Brown.
Besides Gnarls and Panic!, it's all tumbleweeds for me.
oh jeez
and even then, i was raiding my dad's collection for old rap albums and 70s prog, i didn't really seek out new music until i was 17
I think the only songs I've ever heard on this are "When I'm gone" and "Bother".
ironically, this selection looks closer to my interests than the UK chart
The day before my 13th birthday.
Plain White T's, Avril Lavigne, and Fall Out Boy. Welcome to teenage!Tools.
