When someone you love likes music you hate

I had a boyfriend who only listened to dubstep and the black keys once and thought my music was too weird/abrasive. I personally think the black keys make a great alternative to nyquil, so I think a lot of our differences made it a short relationship.

I don't think music contributed much to it, but his attitude towards music certainly reflected his own attitudes. He's not adventurous whatsoever and he doesn't like to look into things deeper or do any intellectual analyses. It was really ****ty how whenever I had an idea he shot it down as too obscure or strange. I felt like he was literally making me dumber and dampening my self growth so I left him. I could never stay with someone who didn't contribute to a conversation like he did

because of that, I think someones taste in music can reflect their personality just a little.
