When someone you love likes music you hate

~~Cuthbert~~ · 05-15-2013, 04:41 PM

One of my friends listens to some proper shite but I really like her so I don't really criticise any of the stuff she listens to. We don't argue either. All my other friends I'd feel comfortable telling them what they listen to is crap or that they're being a cunt but I can't with her. Weird.

Here's what's happening in my household:

To broaden our musical horizons we are exchanging albums. The point is to remain open and get rid of all preconceived ideas about an artist/band. Mainly, we just want to 'try' and appreciate each others musical taste.

He's going to listen to the new Vampire Weekend and it looks like I'm going to get Moondance or something from the New York Dolls. I'm just thankful he didn't choose KISS.

So she's 0 for 2 in the taste department then.

I recently discovered Skrillex and some other club and rave type music like that in my boyfriend's music library. I'm just glad he doesn't play this shit out loud.

I once dated a girl who was into Schpongle, and Belle and Sebastian, too bad that didn't work out. I've also dated a few nasties in high school who were into that whole pop emo scene, panic at the disco, blood on the dance floor, MCR, really uninteresting stuff. Overall, I try and not get too much into what I listen to with chicks, but I'm very much an open minded listener, and I love discussing music in general with people, whether it be Rites of Spring, or Master of Puppets, I love a stimulating chat about music. I can count on just 1 hand how many people I've run into with a similar taste in music, or just anything in common listening wise really. Most of the people around here that are into the stuff I'm into are a bit more outgoing than me, so it never really works out unfortunately.

I know right, I've dumped girls for a lot less, but other than the LB thing this one is good for me.

No, she doesn't swallow so her taste is fine.

who cares? like..... if I only dated dudes that liked punk or post punk that'd be silly as hell because most punx dudes don't shower and are misogynists. I think I'd be more worried about if a dude didn't read. Then he's basically un****able. Maybe that's where I keep ****ing up.
