You wear a lot of flannel, love going to shows while possibly high, probably have at least a neckbeard..... and you have a gold grill and spinners on your car. (You are hard to stereotype because I can't separate "Sam" from this list of music so I kind of just ended up describing you. "You have a lot of flannel and also probably rock a beard" OH WAIT that is true)

[Christophe]

Assume all you want.

You care too much about silly rock music. Your chucks are worn but clean, jeans are tight but not skinny, t-shirts obscure, and you have no upper body strength. Your hair is in your eyes. Sometimes you talk a lot about musicians that your friends haven't heard of.

oh my god, this is essentially me.

except for the part where I haven't worn chucks in ages.

[evernew]

I don't have a working last.fm account but try me (this is from my MP3 player because I rarely listen to music on my laptop):

* Hilltop Hoods - The Nosebleed Section
* Ben Harper - One Road To Freedom

yeah, i laughed when i read this because that really is chris except for the chucks part. good job stereotyping!

You make it a point to look different from the people around you.
Most of your musical taste is out of strong opposition for the mediocre shit the idiots around you are numbing themselves with.
You were born on a cloud that was struck by a rainbow.
You're so much better than anybody else, the only way the world would be better is if anybody knew about it.
You're a fucking elitist and you love listening to music that few other people like or even know.
Your pants are tight, you probably have a tattoo and you don't only wear glasses because you need them but because you think they make you look distinguished.

[Iron_Fist]

  The Mountain Goats – Counting Song
The Mountain Goats – There Will Be No Divorce full track
The National – Lit Up
The Mountain Goats – Standard Bitter Love Song #8 full track         
The National – Start a War
The National – Karen
The National – Apartment Story
The Mountain Goats – Sail On full track
The Mountain Goats – Going to Santiago full track
The Mountain Goats – Color in Your Cheeks
The National – The Geese of Beverly Road
The National – American Mary full track
The National – Fake Empire
The National – Baby, We'll Be Fine
Heathers – margie

This tells you more about the songs I listen to when I go to sleep than anything about me as a person, though.

My guess is that you are four legged, have long straight fur, horns, bleat a lot, eat grass, traverse mountains, and are a goat.

[Eli]

I just listed the top bands:
The Flaming Lips
The Dandy Warhols
One Last Wish
Radiohead
Rilo Kiley
Cake
Brian Jonestown Massacre
Smart Went Crazy
Thurston Moore
Black Rebel Motorcycle Club

[Dimmukane]

You get stoned almost constantly and talk about music that nobody you know likes. When you play your music, people either clutch their ears and complain or fall asleep.

This is actually the exact opposite of what happens.

[Nodaisho]

Lucky. Everyone I know would either get bored by those bands or find them too abrasive.

edit: Oh hey, haven't responded to my stereotype.

You like beer. Your wardrobe is pretty limited, and one item within it may or may not be a denim jacket. Missing a shower every once in a while probably is not a huge deal to you.

I have to admit that's all basically from the Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, Megadeth and Trans-Siberian Orchestra. Isis is rad.

Don't drink, wardrobe is decently varied, no (I could borrow my dad's denim jacket though), and no. Not a bad guess, just not me.

[Jimmy the Squid]

I generally just put my iTunes on shuffle when I listen to music so here is the first ten songs that come up. I tried to find out what the 10 most played were but I couldn't find out how.

1. Yo La Tengo - Season of the Shark
2. Opeth - Funeral Portrait
3. Extra Limb - Spittin' Blood
4. Nine Inch Nails - Sin
5. infected Mushroom - In Front of Me
6. Khold - Slaktereika (Butcher's Oath)
7. Deftones - My Own Summer (Shove It)
8. Ignite - Veteran
9. Nine Inch Nails - The Fragile
10. Skulker - Situation - Desperation

This is actually a fairly accurate representation of what I listen to most of the time actually. iTunes is relatively unimaginative when it comes to shuffling songs.

[Emaline]

Nobody stereotyped me. is it because I only listed 5 songs? How about my top 10 artists?

1. Dresden Dolls
2. Amanda Palmer
3. David Pajo
4. Depeche Mode
5. NIN
6. Cursive
7. The Decemberists
8. Cat Stevens
9. The Faint
10. Wilco

I would comment on you kids but I am finding it kind of difficult to stereotype all of you based on music taste.

[KvP]

Bleep bleep bloop 59 6f 75 20 73 70 65 6e 64 20 74 6f 6f 20 6d 75 63 68 20 74 69 6d 65 20 61 74 20 74 68 65 20 63 6f 6d 70 75 74 65 72 21 bloop bleep

If you could surgically implant headphones you probably would.  You spend virtually every minute that you are out of a building in open air listening to music and probably looking at the sky.  It is possible that you make orchestration motions with your hands when you are alone in your room.

[Dazed]

Ah, ok, top 10 artists since I reloaded itunes/got last.fm like, 2 months ago:

1. Smashing Pumpkins
2. Alice in Chains
3. Led Zeppelin
3. Tool
5. Rush
5. Mahavishnu Orchestra
7. Yes
8. Blind Melon
9. Sublime
10. Blind Guardian (I'm pretty sure this is just from listening to Bright Eyes over and over to figure out the drum part. I regret nothing.)

[ΓΆde]

oh my god, this is essentially me.

that really is chris

Weird, I basically described myself but I knew I was pretty close to the truth even though I don't really know you.

[eddie]

Fucked Up - The Chemistry of Common Life
Black Sabbath Vol 4
Dead Kennedys - Fresh Fruit for Rotting Vegetables
Off with their heads - From the bottom
Streetlight Manifesto - Somewhere in the inbetween
Bomb the music industry - Get warmer
The Queers - Better lays and later days
The Best of The Selecter
Johnny Cash - Live in San Quentin
Ramones

[JediBendu]

Don't drink, wardrobe is decently varied, no (I could borrow my dad's denim jacket though), and no. Not a bad guess, just not me.

Damn. Too bad. Well I enjoy beer and have a limited selection of clothes, and I don't even listen to Judas Priest.

Of course you regret nothing, Blind Guardian is the best band on that list.

Also, you smoke moderate amounts of pot, but remain a functional functional functional functional

Holy shit you are good. There is nothing there that is not true.

[mooface]

this thread is too boring, i am going to make a post where i am brutally honest about what crap i listen to so you can all make fun of me.

1 Death Cab for Cutie - I Will Follow You into the Dark
2 The Postal Service - The District Sleeps Alone Tonight
3 I'm From Barcelona - This Boy
4 Islands - Rough Gem
5 Stars - Heart
6 Stars - Life Effect
7 Dashboard Confessional - Saints And Sailors
8 The Boy Least Likely To - I'm Glad I Hitched My Apple Wagon to Your Star
9 Of Montreal - Heimdalsgate Like A Promethean Curse
10 Panic! At the Disco - Lying is the Most Fun a Girl Can Have Without Taking Her Clothes Off

[MadassAlex]

why do you listen to music

[sean]

Dude.

That selection of music is not bad at all. There are a whole bunch of really fun bands there amongst the three I personally dislike. This is not the music forum, so lets actually be nice to other people.

[Josefbugman]

I'm partial to the occasional bit of Panic! If I want to start jumping up and down a lot.

Others I can't really comment on, but they don't seem all that bad.

you are 18 forever.

[MadassAlex]

I think the issue that's occurring within this thread is people are starting to complain about assholish comments.

I think the same people missed the OP, because that's the entire point of this thread. It is based on not being nice or intelligent about things, but instead mean-spirited and uninformed.

[Tyler]

See, you didnt make a witty generalization based on taste though.

You make a douchebag comment instead.

Nothing interesting or observant. Just sand in the old vageroo.

[tania]

i thought it was based on lightly teasing people by lumping them into overly generalizing categories? being outright mean is just uncreative.

edit: tyler beat me to it.

[MadassAlex]

No-one has really made a witty generalisation based on taste, though. In fact, "witty generalisation" is a term that contradicts itself in this context. This entire thread is just riding on boring stereotypes (as per the thread title) and hence there's not really much to work with.

I maintain that getting annoyed at other people in this thread is counterproductive to its purpose. I don't think anyone is expressing their real views in this thread. In fact, I believe OP kindly requested that we leave our egos at the door.

i thought it was based on lightly teasing people by lumping them into overly generalizing categories? being outright mean is just uncreative.

edit: tyler beat me to it.

There is no creativity in this thread, because we are just attaching the negative aspects of existing stereotypes to one another. It's essentially a glorified list thread.

[sean]

However boring you think this thread may be, you must realize there is a difference between uh, saying "you are 18 forever" and silly things like that and then saying "why do you listen to music".

Do you not see the difference? The latter comment is flat out rude and distasteful. If you notice I don't think anyone else in this thread is being terribly rude. But lets not dwell on this anymore, okay? Its silly and depressing.

[tania]

no offense alex but are you sure you're not the only person who has a problem with this thread? cos it kind of seems like you are and everyone else is having fun with it.

[MadassAlex]

Allow me to point out my earlier posts. I took part in the thread in a light-hearted manner (and still was with my "why do you listen to music" comment).

Also allow me to point out that if Objects Inside Clouds is asking us not to dwell on it, bringing up that question is not conductive to his cause? I thought the concept of this thread was good, but in practice, no-one is really offering anything beyond the completely obvious.

[Jace]

Hey guys lets argue in every single thread that is started about stupid things.

I'd judge people based on their music but no one has posted any since mai.

[Tybalt]

Nobody stereotyped me. is it because I only listed 5 songs? How about my top 10 artists?

Stereotype me!

You're rather intelligent despite your crude humor and piercings?

I mean, on an indie comic forum....

Well, you only need one song to stereotype me.
And it is seriously awesome.

Before I make a generalization about you, I need to know three more crucial pieces of information. First, how long are your dreadlocks, do you tie them into a ponytail, and how varied is your collection of glowsticks?

[Tybalt]

It's called a stereotype.  Logic is not intended.

4. American Football - The One With the Tambourine
5. Do Make Say Think - A Tender History in Rust

you are kind of shy around people you have never met before but after a few minutes you get over yourself and start talking to people. you enjoy drinking tea. you think a good basement is the best place to see a band play. you usually stand still and smile at shows but you don't fold your arms because that is kind of rude. when a band is really energetic though you really start to get into it and you sing and shout along if you know the words. you might even pump your fist into the air too! when you are not doing musical things you probably like to sit on the bus with a good book. (i would make a sweater comment but i know for fact you wear those)

is that how you are supposed to do this? i feel like it is weird doing this because i know too many facts and various tidbits about you people to stereotype you properly.

[StaedlerMars]

Man, last.fm tells me that my top ten songs are by Neutral Milk Hotel, 65daysofstatic, and Spiritualized.

Artists is Spiritualized, Beatles, Flaming Lips, Low, Pink Floyd, Neutral Milk Hotel, The Shins, Dinosaur Jr., Bob Dylan, The Sea and the Cake (I have no idea why, i think I accidentally left their album on loop one night)

I will do some judging in the morning.

[E. Spaceman]

The top bands on my last.fm go


1 Soulwax
2  R.E.M.
3 The Magnetic Fields
4 Spacemen 3

The Wedding Present
The National
Of Montreal
The Radio Dept.
Radical Face
Wilco

(Bands instead of songs because I've accidentally left my iPod and iTunes on so many times it's not really representative for anything.)

[Liz]

Jens you are like, completely wrong. None of that describes Kris at all.

[Lunchbox]

Jens that is remarkable, your abilities must be astonishing.

My top whatever from last.fm:
Mogwai

That is basically all true except the buses here are usually too crowded to do that. I am a pretty big fan of public transit in general though.
