When did you first get "hit" by music? (reddthat.com)

Do you remember the first time you really clicked with music? I remember being on a family vacation at 9 or 10, getting some sort of random Beatles "Hits" cassette tape at whatever gas station, and playing it nonstop in my off-brand Walkman. That was the first time I really felt music in my bones, and to this day few things are as exciting as finding a new song to love.

I was already somewhat into music a long as I can remember... But I wouldn't say I got super into music until the day I heard Nirvana's Smells Like Teen Spirit in '92. I was in 4th grade, my family was sitting in a drive thru waiting to pick up food and my mind was blown as it played on the radio. This was rock music, but something new, something different. And then I got obsessed with grunge and alternative music

I would get a second similar sense of wonder in 2013, when I discovered the Cambrian explosion of *wave music (chillwave, vaporware, witch house, future beats, and other newbreed electronica). With Purity Ring's Lofticries leading me down that path
