Mainly I discovered a couple more artists in electronic music and gained a general dislike for nightcore mixes and vocaloid songs. Though I should add that osu! has got me to try out new songs I wouldn't bother to listen to otherwise.

Technically, osu! could be credited with introducing me to OK Go, Imogen Heap (and by extension a lot of my library, e.g. Temposhark, Regina Spektor), Electric Six, Sia and Meg & Dia, most of which have been my favouritebandevah at some point. And plenty of other artists I was only mildly interested in but was very interested in after some osu! beatmaps.

That, and it made me mentally map out tons of songs while listening to them. Also EBA basically invented my interest in music so yeah

It's showtime!

- was introduced to vocaloid, touhou & nico nico douga.
- saying "oh, that song on osu was from this anime" whenever I pick up an old anime series.
- now, I seldom listen to music outside of osu, except from radio stations while driving or recommended by someone
- discovered the sexyness of 1/3's

only notable downside is that now I don't have most of the mainstream songs my friends want to listen to since I don't have/download them

It made me want to download more songs by Chata, and some by Owl City. I also found out about the Toki wo Kizamu Uta -Trance Remix-.

May bless be cast upon those who have brung here the Demetori's songs! Without them I'd not know of such fine music

Other likes of mine? Some vocaloid songs and other R&M ones. Dislikes? Nightcore's #1 here, eastern pop placing as second. Come on folks, get some good western stuff here!

Until I played osu! I mainly only listened to power / death metal. Now I like most Trance and DnB songs.

osu! is probably one of the reasons I moved from metal/rock to hard/speedcore electronica even though the amount of it here is close to none. At least the amount of songs relevant to my current tastes is.

Also it made me sad that I didn't know about Yousei Teikoku back when I was listening to Evanescence/Within Temptation/Sirenia/... Could be a great addition, but now it's sorta late.

Last, but not least, I've never heard Himiko before I played it here even though I was already starting to get into beatmania by that time. It's one of my most favourite songs now, probably listened to over 1,5k times if you add the osu! playcount.

My opinion > your opinion.

Without osu! musics, I wouldn't have known of Miku, Touhou, and a whole lots of animes, like monogatari series for example. I can actually recognize some Touhou characters now. I don't get confused between Rin (vocaloid) and Lucky Star anymore as well. Not sure if this is a good sign or not, but I'm gaining knowledge at least lol

My taste on music also changed. I used to just listen to none other then K-Pops and some few Band musics. After I met osu!, it changed into Drum 'N' Bass and sorts. I don't know which music hooked me up first, but I think it was Mei or MENDES.

Haven't affected me at all. Just found some more Yousei Teikoku/Karen songs. My taste in music is still the same as it was before i began to play osu

Need mods? I'm available for mod4mod.
Unless the map you want modded is either Yousei teikoku, karen or denkare cuz then i'll gladly do it without asking for a mod.

osu! has had very little impact on me musically, but I've found a few things to my liking like Stam1na, turmion kätilöt and The Funeral Orchestra (granted I didn't find out about these bands by them being mapped in osu!). And Diablo Swing Orchestra, assuming it was CheeseWarlock who told me about them and not somebody else. Can't really remember.

Nekomata Master ~ ♥

Yeah, found awesome genres such as DnB, Happy Hardcore, or Hard Renaissance (Renaissance Hardcore) through this game, and Krisom's post here (last post) now allows my ear to determine 1/6s ~

also, Mei ♥ ~
