Well ... maybe.
I grew up playing platformers and beat 'em ups and such on the NES and SNES. However, I won't say that they were my taste as gaming very seldom "hooked" me back then. It was just that the selection of genres was so limited at that point that I had no real choice. It was only the rare RPG that really grabbed me.
The RPG boom during the PS1 period is what made me a gamer, really. However, at the same time, genres that weren't really viable before were getting better and better. Over the next several generations, FPS games went from giving me a headache to being one of my favorite control schemes, as well as branching out into several new sub-genres. Gran Turismo made racing games more interesting.
I feel more like my tastes have always been much the same, it's just that the gaming industry needed time to catch up.
I love where gaming is at now, for the most part. The technological limits of the early days is not something I'd want to experience again. My only real complaint would be the fall of turn/party-based RPGs.
