"You had a different taste than your peers and than you've become the taste." Is this sentence correct?

Clive · Accepted Answer

No.
I don't understand your meaning.
eg How does a person 'become the taste'?

Hi

I think I understand the meaning. We are talking to a person who, at the beginning, had views or likes that no one else shared; and then, over a period of time, everyone started to appreciate or admire those views or likes

I'd say the only thing definitely wrong with your sentence is that you've misspelt 'then' (at the tenth word)

After that, there's the question of which preposition to use with 'different'. Personally, I'd say 'different from', but other people might disagree with that

In the second half of the sentence, I'm not sure about the tense. I think you can do it either way, depending on whether the person is still popular or not:

- You had a different taste from your peers and now you've become the taste

- You had a different taste from your peers and then you became the taste
