(Anonymous) 2013-06-28 06:37 am (UTC)(link)When I was that age, I had a favourite band, too, and when I felt a little bit sad, I could listen to them and the music would reflect my emotions perfectly and because you're that age, everything feels like fucking life or death so naturally I felt like their music pulled me back from possible suicidal tendencies (this is not to say that others don't have genuine suicidal tendencies that music helps them avoid acting on, this was just how I was as a kid). As a teenager you just feel everything viscerally, more viscerally than at any later point in your lifetime.
It's important to feel that and go through that, and be a little bit melodramatic, and most importantly, be passionate about things. When I was 13-16, I wouldn't just be a fan of things - I'd be obsessed. Everything would alter my life, everything I got into was a dramatic change in my personality (or at least it felt that way, looking back on it, I just liked something new).
And realizing I no longer loved an old favourite of mine, who I'd LOVED SO MUCH before, was like breaking up with somebody I'd gotten married to. It felt like I had cheated on them, with all my new favourites and interests. But guess what? You fall out of love with stuff. Then you fall back into love with it, or you don't, and move on, and continue loving new stuff, and looking back on your old favourite music as just that period of time when you were passionate about them.
It's okay to not like something so much any more. You're no less of a fan if you don't listen to something 24/7 for the rest of your goddamn life. In fact, you'd probably be considered quite weird if you did that. So chill. Live your life, loving what you love. It's all fine. You don't have to be so invested to be considered a real fan.
