Do you talk to people about music IRL?

Jukeboxfin · 02-25-2014, 08:20 AM

My friends and I always talk about music but we don't really share similar tastes. It's a great way to discover new music you may not have thought to listen to before!

There's 2 friends at school, and I talk about music with them almost every recess. They're always together, ususally listening to a song on their phone. 1 of them doesn't really have the same taste as me, but it's still fun talking about music with him. The other has a pretty simialar taste as me when it comes to punk and metal, so talking about music with him is usually more fun. But we do have out smaller differences in taste, and that's what makes talking about music with him more interesting.
before I had these friends I never really talked about music much, except for one other dude which likes a few bands that I do.
it's hard to find people that love music that you love, but when you do, sharing that love for music is a pretty awesome thing.

Than there are people that have a few bands that I like that they also like. I ususally talk about those bands with them, but they mostly have tastes so different that I ususally don't talk about music with them.

When somone asks what I like I ususally just list some main genres. I ususally tell them I mainly listen to punk, metal, rock and ska. But that I also like genres like reggae, rocksteady, funkm Rythm n blues/rock n roll, soul, blues and Jazz. It's just that I didn't really listen to those genres much yet, but I'm interested in them.

edit: If somone says they like bands that I really dislike, I ususally try to avoid talking with them about music. But I am willing to give any genre a chance. I used to think all rap sucked, but than I heard a few older songs that weren't about bitches and nike shoes that actually weren't bad. I respected those songs, but they're not my cup of tea. But than there's artists that I have so much irrational hatred towards that I REALLY should avoid talking to those people about music in further detail.

My tastes differ from others my age because I dislike mainstream pop, and K-pop, and rap, and metal, etc. The music I listen to is either from another era (Billy Joel, Beatles, Glenn Miller, Tchaikovsky, Bach, etc.) or obscure (Tame Impala, Animal Collective, etc.). The only people I know interested in the older stuff (with the exception of a couple of friends who know some Beatles' hits, primarily through me) are thirty years older than me, and I don't anybody who's even heard of Tame Impala. So when I talk music IRL, it's usually with someone thirty years my senior, or discussing our dislike of One Direction.

I've encountered a lot of persons who are interested in knowing about my musical interests. I love curiousity. I am proud of my taste, so I am NOT afraid to exclaim it aloud in public in front of a person or group.

I'm fortunate enough to have a significant other who loves music too, so yes all the time.
