    admitting you were wrong: music you used to like and now hate

    its not always the case, but i find if i like something right away, ill probably get sick of it pretty quickly and wonder what i liked about it in the first place. most of my favorite music ive been a little unsure about at first (sometimes not enjoying it at all) but there is something that...
