Fun Stuff > BAND
How do others respond to your musical taste?
Hatebunny:
--- Quote from: jeremy ---One thing that I forgot to note in my original post that I really do not appreciate is when people tell me that I listen to such and such a style of music or band "just to be cool." What the hell is that? Does anyone else have to deal with this sort of reaction? I guess the thinking is that since the person I'm talking to hasn't heard the bands I like, I must think that I am cooler than they are just because I like obscure bands. I don't understand this; they're the one assuming things about me based on what sort of music I like, not me! Seriously, if you honestly think you're cooler than someone because you listen to hip indie bands instead of popular music, you're a giant asshole. But if assume that people who listen to unpopular music do so for any different ("more cool") reasons than the rest of the world, then you're ridiculous, and should probably put off buying any music until you've finished reading "I'm OK, You're OK."

Actually, I'm more inclined to say that some people who listen to popular music listen to it just to be cool.
I'm also inclined to think that half of the depressed teens out there who wear makeup and crap are like that because they think 'this is how people who listen to the kind of music I like act' so, that theory's not a very popular one.

a pack of wolves:
Yeah, but you can say the same thing for any type of music. Percentage-wise the number of people who listen to it for reasons other than actual appreciation of the music will be much the same across the board, apart from swells caused by fads and fashion.

My sister calls my music stupid then turns up her Disney's Cinderella Soundtrack or Aqua or what-crap-have-you. She's 18.
I'm all "Stupid? You're listening to the fucking Cinderella soundtrack."
"CINDERELLA IS NOT STUPID."
She had murder in her eyes when she said that.

Would you mind terribley if I killed her? 18 year olds that can't tell the difference between good and bad music should be wiped off the face of the earth before they have a chance to reproduce. I'm usually not this harsh, especially towards people's musical tastes, but AQUA? *Shudder*
happybirthdaygelatin:
Oh sure you're not that harsh you meth lab dwelling evil scientist.
Heh, I actually am curious now as to how my coworkers would respond to various musics I listen to.
