Please, Just Let Me Die Already

i don't think it's that silly. common interests are a big part of relationships. for me, some are more important than others. when it comes to music, it's really important to me and i spend a lot of time listening, talking or writing about the music i listen to. if i'm dating someone and i find the majority of what they listen to repulsive, and vice versa, it's not just a minor disagreement - in my case it's actually a really big part of my life that i can't share with them and a pretty huge dealbreaker tbh. disagreements in other areas of my life that aren't so integral to who i am wouldn't be as big a deal.

I guess that for me, this type of similarity plays a really big part in attraction. I hung out with this cool guy today who likes all the music that I've been getting into lately, and it just made it easier to hit it off. I can't imagine being in a serious relationship with someone whose music tastes drastically differ from my own because music is really important to me and it's something that I enjoy sharing.

not important at all. my gf and i like completely opposite types of music. but we like the same types of movies so its all good.
Jace:
I understand that there will be different musical tastes between people. But there should be some intersection. Especially since most of the people I know around my age range (that'd be 16-24) seem to have music playing near constantly if possible. If there is no intersection in taste (ie, you're a lotta country, I'm a lotta rock'n'roll) there are going to be disagreements.
Also, if you think that just because a guy is at a ska show that all he listens to is ska, you are just stupid. Sorry Megan from Flagstaff, you're stupid.
Allybee:
it's not even like, I'm afraid of disagreeing with someone. this is going to sound really dumb but when I'm really into a song, it feels almost the same way as being really into a person. I just can't stop thinking about it and I feel really amazing and full.
I feel similarly about books and comic books, because when I think they're great I want to talk about them, but they involve a much more significant time commitment than does a song so I can understand if the person I'm with doesn't want to read all the stupid shit that I'm reading. I don't feel the same way about movies, because I'm just not as into them and I can just go watch them with someone else. art is so personal to me that when I find a piece that I love I don't want to necessarily show everyone I know.
huh.
EDIT: I used the word "feel" four times in this post.
MrBlu:
Thinking about it now, all the girls that I think are awesome/attractive that have similar tastes in music to me are either too old for me, or too far away (Florida...).
Which sucks. Bad.
