I just don't really see the point in discussing my music tastes with random people in my life. I'm more than happy to mooch off other people's musical perspectives, but I'm selfish, so that's as far as I need to take it. Fortunately, no one I actually know has anything valuable to offer anyway, so it's no harm no foul.
If I wanted acquaintances to reiterate their values of all the popular music I've heard since the '80s, it'd probably be a different story. Fortunately, it's not.
Some would say I need better friends, but basing their importance to me on their music taste would be just as fruitless as me trying to change it. I just don't see the up-side anyway. I can hang out with me all night, and I don't need more than me to enjoy listening to what I enjoy, and I certainly don't need anyone to validate it.
I'm drunk, so if none of this makes sense (or if I'm just talking to no one), then sorry. I guess I could be rationalizing why my life isn't exactly filled with daily occurrences of music discussions. I love music. I just don't think it requires what other people seem to think it requires.
