What goes around comes around. Psychedelic guru Dr. Timothy Leary (now
an ex person with ashes orbiting Earth) stated in the 60's that the
music you were listening to around the time of your first orgasm would
be the type of music you listened to for the rest of your life. This was
related to theories of "imprinting".

Of course Dr Leary did talk bollocks much of the time so there's no need
to pay special heed to this. Then again, I've always had a fondness for
Chicory Tip.

The latest theory sounds like a variant on the theme.
