For me it was Andrew Bird (who I am currently on a binge of) and Fleet Foxes.
To a lesser extend, Radiohead and the Flaming Lips. Though I mostly just didn't care about them until I was older.

Not a particular musician, but I thought I didn't like black metal for a long time. I realized recently that I actually do like black metal when the quality of the recording is decent. Idk why so many black metal bands like recording on shitty equipment.
Depending on your age, it could just be that black metal artists now have access to better equipment in a DIY setting.

haha i remember my friend made his first album in a bathroom with blanket and pillows everywhere, still holds up like 11 years later
That makes sense. I'm young but a lot of what I tried listening to was older.
This is a pretty interesting mini-doc about DIY music making in the early 2000s in Ireland. Includes a couple of bands I really love like Enemies and Adebisi Shank.
this is it. any kid with an apple computer, pirated logic pro and a few simple plugins and some youtube videos can scratch track a recording and can clean up any unwanted sounds. Its quite awesome really
I had a similar thing happen, but a bit different. I always liked melodic and symphonic black metal but I had a hard time appreciating the rougher production side of things. Now, I like it all. I see the low production as an added layer of distortion on top of the already distorted guitars. It can help the tremolo riff gain a "hum" that allows it to fill your whole ear. It's for not everyone, and I can totally understand why it turns people off, but it does add atmosphere.
