When someone you love likes music you hate

Plankton · 05-13-2013, 11:09 AM

When the GF got a hold of a Jack Johnson CD, I thought it was pretty good... for the first 50 or so times she played it. Every where we went "Wanna hear some Jack Johnson?"... "Jack Johnson?"... "How 'bout some Jack Johnson?"... so after a couple hundred times of hearing it, I personally can't stand it, or his voice. She ruined it for me. God help me, I threw that ****ing CD out the window one day. "Have you seen my Jack Johnson CD?"... nope.

My boyfriend and I can agree on most things in terms of music. There is some stuff though, that I just don't like that he listens to sometimes.

I've never been in a relationship long enough for this to become an issue and should I ever kidnap someone long enough for them to come down with stockholm syndrome I imagine it will probably be my taste in music that drives them away.

no no.... if they have stockholm syndrome they will sympathize with you and may even eventually like your taste in music...but you might have to gag them at first so they can't complain..and after day in and day out of your musical hypnotism they will come around... GOOD LUCK!!

I dated a guy last Fall who was really obsessed with John Mayer and Jason Mraz. He would make me mixtapes and that's all that would be on them -

Track 1: John Mayer
Track 2: Jason Mraz
Track 3: John Mayer
Track 4: Jason Mraz

..and so on. And don't get me wrong, I've never liked John Mayer but I went through a Jason Mraz phase but I moved on from it. I don't mean to act as though I'm above listening to their music, but I could just never be that into them.

The relationship definitely didn't end just because of his taste in music - he didn't like anything I listened to either (aside from a Dodos song I showed him that he liked because the lyrics reminded him of a John Mayer song...), but I think it contributed a bit. Long car rides were a nightmare because I was miserable when listening to his music or he was miserable when listening to mine.

It may seem a trivial thing in relationships at large but for me, at least where I am in my life right now, it matters. The lifestyle I lead includes going to shows frequently, thinking about, making (he also hated the music my band made) and discussing music, and when I'm in a relationship that's something I would hope to share. If I can't at least be interested in or intrigued by another person's taste in music I won't hang around long.

Going through my music collection I've come to realize I would have a harder time making a love mixtape for a girl than I would making one for a girl who miscarried.

Hahahahahaha

Love mixtapes are vastly overrated anyway.

I admire your honesty. That was just golden.
