"Ooooh...that's pretty underground."

It makes all the sense in the world. The music you like says a lot about what kind of person you are. I'd really have nothing to say to someone who likes a lot of ****ty bands and we sure as hell wouldn't be able to hang out or enjoy a sexual relationship.
If I met a girl who honestly loved Yanni and John Tesh, without a hint of irony, there's no need for us to go any further. She's gross and stupid regarding music and if she's capable of liking that cheez, then the chances are very, very high that my skin will crawl when she tells me what her favorite comedians, movies, books and TV shows are.
I like to spend time with people who have similar interests to mine....and while no one has the exact same taste in everything, one person's taste can be diametrically opposed to another's.

So you'd stop having a regular conversation with a person, and just be flat out rude, if they had different musical taste?

I'm not talkin' Justin Timberlate here! I told her I like Radiohead and REM, and she compared my musical taste to potatoes then walked off

It's different if you're in a relationship with someone. But even then, you can't have everything in common.

Hahaha, that video was hilarious! I love "its a word document".

Personally, I just listen to what I like. I could care less about how popular it is. I do know of people who like music less if it is popular and I think that is stupid.

My thoughts exactly. I listen to mostly listen to XM and I have no idea if its popular until I tune to VH1 or MTV when they do show music videos.

Potatoes LOL. She sounds so Irish t:

Only if I was wasted. Was there drinking going on?

Potatoes are good, well-loved...a must. She'd die in a world without potatoes.

It's funny when you rebel to avoid being a conformist only to become another type of conformist.

Damn the trappings of the human condition!!! Resistance is futile.

 

[C.F. Kane]

This is why I don't listen to modern music. The artist either has to be dead or semi-retired for me to really enjoy it.

 

[Wilhelm-Scream]

That's silly. They were alive when they composed the music, just like the myriad of great or even genius musicians who are composing cool music right now are.
The music's merit doesn't swell when you die, and there was a ton of ****-Music stretching all the way back to the dawn of man.

Yeah, but only the good stuff remains. Think Mozart and Salieri. Mozart's work is universally hailed as genius, and Salieri is only known to most of the modern world as "that guy who was in the Mozart movie". His musical compositions are mere trivia to us.

The reason I listen to primarily older music is because time is the greatest enemy of mediocrity.

Funny how that works out...all my best friends have totally different tastes in music than me. I can't stand their taste in music and they can't stand mine, but we get along on everything else.

Fall Out Boy's popularity is packed with irony. I have a friend who listens to them, and he said many of their songs flat-out insult their newer fans. "This Ain't A Scene, It's An Arms Race" is a great example of people eating up a song that basically says "we don't care about you."

I think Nirvana did a couple of songs like that as well.

You ever notice the hotter the girl, the worse her taste in music? Do a little experiment right now if you're at work or school. Go find a girl and ask her what music she's into.

i don't even need to do the experiment to know this man tells the truth... i know of one or two exceptions, sure, but for the most part, walk up to a "hot" girl, ask her her favorite music, and she'll reply with something from TRL 9 times out of 10, guaranteed.

I was talking to a girl the other night, and she's into Good Charlotte, Eveneascence, and all that kinda ****. I felt like throwing up.
