This.
Allybee:
yeah, that makes a ton of sense to me. maybe I should amend my terminology; by "taste" I mean "general inclination," as in, I seek a partner who shares an inclination towards the same types of music. I guess "taste" implies that I'm expecting someone to like every band that I do.
Sox:
Strip away all your possessions. They're not important.
Strip away your clothes. Those aren't important either.
Hair? Nuh-uh.
Interest? Nah.
Face? Forget it.
Picture yourself naked, completely exposed, in the middle of a nothing. A big nothing where your favourite bands, TV shows, activities do not exist.
Everything is a dressing, we are more than a sum of our interest. There are ugly people and there are beautiful people. All covered in dressing.
The outcome of relationships has little to do with dressing beyond initial attraction.

I think the important thing is to realize that the converse is also true; music is only really relevant if people think it is. Quite simply, some people use music to define themselves and send messages about who they are as a person while other people may just be listening to music because somebody happened to leave the radio on at work. While music can be representative of a person's values and personalities, there's also going to be plenty of times where making judgements based on musical tastes will be roughly as accurate as reading tea leaves; hell, sometimes it's going to be markedly less accurate since music often carries cultural baggage that a casual listener may be unaware of. For example, Jimmy posted that he likes black metal and is in a black metal band. There's any number of assumptions I could try and make based off that information, but at the end of the day, all I would be doing is trying to see how what stereotypes I can match Jimmy up to in my head. Call me crazy, but that just seems like a rather poor way of going about things.

All I am imagining are naked people slathered in ranch.
