What Media Changed You?

The mexican edition of the first two issues of the Dark Knight Returns was the first comic-book i ever read, a mind-blowing experience who was a door to a new medium. In literature, The Metamorphosis was the first book it really impacted me in my teens, it was in the library of my therapist and before that book i was finished the first book of Harry Potter. Digimon Adventure/02 was my favourite anime in my childhood and i have fond memories of seeing characters like Joe and Sora caring for her fellow friends. BTAS was my first exposure to Batman and the Art Deco/Noir genre alongside the DK, i watch old black and white noir films and reading authors like James Cain thanks to that series. Cartoons like Daria (more relevant than ever), Courage the Cowardly Dog, Dexter's Lab, The Tick and many others hold a special place in my heart. My dad was an artist and he introduced me to the works of artists who i'm looking every day, like Magritte, Max Ernst, Pablo Picasso and so on. He was a fan of the european cinema, so i watch with him many films of Herzog like Aguirre, and other classics like The Double Life of Veronica and Tiempo de Gitanos by Emir Kusturica. One of his favourite films was Z, who i watched many years later, is a explosive movie who deserves a rewatch.
Growing up I was obsessed with Digimon Adventure, I’d just constantly rewatch it non stop(along with the first season of Pokémon). For me it was the first series I recall really putting me on the edge of my seat, completely invest me in the world building and mystery.

I can still recall so many scenes from it, along with how they first hit me. I think the most impactful moments for me were Whamon’s death, Angemon’s reveal, Etemon (he freaked me out), SkullGreymon, and Kari‘s reveal.
 
Before leaving my parents house and go to a big city I never cared much about music, I used to listen to popular genres like reggaeton and cumbia that will mostly sing about sex in a vulgar way.
Then, once I was away from my hometown a guy that used to be my roommate made me listen this:

It sounded good, pretty cool relaxing tune, but then from 5:54 my brain:

Truly, from an atomic point of view it was like a whole universe was falling apart and re-building itself. I understood it, what was good and bad. From that point everything that deviates from this music was just trash.
For more than 5 years I devoured everything about Led Zeppelin, all their disks, every bootleg of their live shows(thanks to internet), their movie, I did not listen anything else but Led Zeppelin, I sang their songs until my throat will hurt, bought t-shirts of them and so on. Because of them I explored blues, rock, metal and some of their sub-genres.
Today I'm more chill about it, the long infatuation has finally ended but it is still my favorite band of all times.
