I've realized music has reflected not only the stages in my life but also the overall mood of that period. Let's run through it:
Elementary school:
We all thought we were so cool, listening to rap... and this song was so popular with all of us kids because it was so funny/racist/obscene. I'm pretty sure we had no idea what any of this stuff meant!
Middle school:
In light of those pre-emo and teen angst days, this song was a good break from rap, which was overly popular. I remember listening to a ton of Usher, on top of the plethora of rap. I still listen to this song once in a while.
High school:
I left rap and entered the emo/alternative scene. I never started wearing the emo/alternative style clothes, but I loved alternative songs... especially the ones that weren't popular.
College:
I somehow went more indie...
Work life:
I'm not sure how this happened... but I started liking the whole ethereal girl voice... and it evolved into house/trance.

I'm listening to these three as I write this :)
Conclusion:
I'm not sure how music correlates with how life changes... but it seems quite obvious that the type of music reflected what kind of person I was, whether it be a teenage guy going through angst or a college kid wanting to be himself.
All I know is... music will probably stay with me forever--it's my remedy for everything.
