I'm always disappointed by the fact that I can`t meet girls that share my musical passion... Is it the same for you? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ehm, are you serious? girls totally appreciate idm |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Sarcastic? Or maybe I should move to slovenia =\ |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

The girls at my school say... "Wow, this is stupid, just rap without the words." ...in which I promptly smack them. |
||||||||
|

most girls i dont even bother. unless im joking, and looking for my headphones to get thrown at me. but ther's the odd few that'll hand me back the headphones, or a cd and tell me they dug it. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
who cares. you can't expect anyone to like idm, let alone someone you want to date. just look for other shared interests. |
||||||||

guy: "hey do you like autechre?" girl: "what?" guy: "autechre.. do you like them..?" girl: ".." guy: ".." girl: ".." guy: "so, I like gardening.. you?" |

Or just start using the rephlex tour as a social club =] |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it's like: who cares. Man, I'd rather have a gf who can show me a totally different kind of music I can learn to apreciate. It's be ok if they like idm, but it wouldn't really make much difference, otherwise it'd be too much like goin out with a female version of yourself, or something. Boring conversations, no playful arguments etc etc |

my best girl+idm experience is as follows: girl: you got any batteries nick? nick: yah sure, come to my locker girl: wow you gots lotsa cd's in there too me: heheh, wanna listen? girl: for sure me: here try this one *grins and hands her burned 'best of squarepusher'* girl: what is it? me: just listen, you'll like it *go to class, see her waiting at my locker after* girl: nick that kicked ass! it's fuckin hardcore! me: squarepusher, you should check 'em out. girl: will do, see ya tomorrow :D |

I'd like atleast to meet a girl that would share my pation for music, that atleast would understand my excitement for a new AE release, or why I love to spend afternoons on my couch with a pair of headphones. I don`t say that she has to be a copy of me, but I would love for once a girl with something in common. I'm tired of going out with girls and have nothing to say to them except dumb jokes. Or maybe I'll have just to wait till I get to college =\ |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
that was a cool experience spoonz but guys, there are lots of girls who like cool music, you just need seek them |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|

Pretty much all the girls I surround myself with dig on all the electronic stuff I listen to. hell, one of my girl friends owns two monolake cds, another owns druqks and has a ton of stuff on her computer, one of my girl friends owns and has more downloaded electronic music then I do, girls like this shit, you just gotta give it to them or else they will listen to the strokes. |

"..but I would love for once a girl with something in common. I'm tired of going out with girls and have nothing to say to them except dumb jokes." thats what it comes down to, isn't it really..? doesn't have to do much with 'liking idm'.. just having something in common.. its sweet, really. :) |

i was playin the 1st trac on ae's chiastic slide at a friend's house once. she thought it was cool. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
and then you played the 2nd track and scared her away..? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
nope we all were workin on a project, so we just needed some music to work to.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
hence the reason why current female interest needs to be mine.... she loves Aphex, I burned her a CD of RDJ albumb and BOC, oh man, she loved it marry me I say |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
excellent point! having someone just like you is boring. why not look at it like a challenge to get her to open up musically to different styles of music....maybe you'll something from her. it's about sharing things.....not being twins =0) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
YOU ARE WRONGGG! life is all about being twins ;) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
suggestion: go and for keyword search, put "IDM" or any words relating thereto. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well, I did introduce her to it, so in that case I feel like a part of her that wouldn't normally be shared with me, now is. That is a quality fucking feeling. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Ugh! All the girls I know about that share my musical passion are heavy drug abusers... Or dating one. And music is veeeeery important to me... Even more important than how the girl looks and I'm pretty shallow in that matter! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
knocks evil Q upside ze head!!! seriously.....with patience people can learn to like something that initally they didn't like or get into. the relationship needs to be worth it to you. music is not everything.....contrary to what a lot of you think now. it's a nice commonality to have, but again you want someone who stimulates your mind, that will keep things going long after RDJ starts making elevator music....tee hee |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah.. its also kind of a boys thing to get obsessed with music.. "oh oh oh a new ae is coming out! I MUST HAVE THIS like 2 months earlier.." etc. etc. I know I am. :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I never really talk about music outside of my close friends.... But yeah most girls are into the same garbage. gloths- death metal sk8er girls- punk/emo thugs- rap um yeah, no girls i know listen to IDM |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

LeCoeur - thats what i was saying! I wanna rock chick. RAWK AND RAWL |

My girlfriend and I get along great though our tastes in music vary considerably. We have some common picks: Tori Amos; Nine Inch Nails; The Beatles, to name a few. But then we have our own stuff. She's into stuff I can appreciate that isn't really up my alley--Type O Negative for instance. I like all kinds of stuff that would drive her nuts. It's fine with me that she doesn't share my love of AFX or Autechre (she likes the name though--she even says it in a really cute voice!) :) But the point is, the personality is important, not the styles of music they like. If Lindsey listened to nothing but Slipknot/Eminem sorts of things, I'd still love her. I'd still value my time with her if we ended up listening to flavor of the month records instead! Also, she thinks IDM should stand for "Internet Dork Music" (and I agree) because it's music for computer geeks ;) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
It would be totally different if I'd find out later that my gf liked brittney spears and nothing else, then I'd still love her... But if I found out before we got togeather I'd probably never considder anything more serious tan a one night stand. It just feals so repelling... I can't really explain. :/ |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
hahhaha No way, Lindsey HATES that stuff. She hates Christina Aguilera more than anyone i know. ;) I love her (LIndsey) more than anything! |
||||||||
|

"seriously.....with patience people can learn to like something that initally they didn't like or get into." I know that, but they don`t really pick up the passion. It seems like to me as if they are making an effort to be liked, for then droping any interest in it two days after we break up =\ And I totally agree that it is important to be intellectually stimulated and it is not about music. But what good does it do if she is all about politics and social issues, while I'm all about music? I'll be bored to tears when she speaks, and will be she when I talk. |

you're being unrealistic to believe someone will have the same passion about ANYTHING that you have. you are setting expectations about women and you will always be disappointed. why not accept them for who/what they are, you'd like the same thing in return. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I HATE GIRLS. so why cant i stop thinking about them? |
||||||||
|

"you're being unrealistic to believe someone will have the same passion about ANYTHING that you have. " Anything? I guess you are being unrealistic right now.... |

My best experience was... Me: *puts on massive headphones* Girl: Why do you always have such big headphones? Me: Because I can hear the music without any distractions. Girl: Then it must be some good music, let me hear it. *Puts on headphones* *Eybrow tension* Girl: Grayson, why do you have to listen to such weird music? It happened to be in the middle of All The Children Are Dead, oh well. |
||||||||

Girl: Grayson, why do you have to listen to such weird music? *responded with FUCK YOU, FUCK YOU! |

Hehe! :) |

"Girl: Why do you always have such big headphones?" HA HA HA HA!! wow, what a great line.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ehhehe i'm not.....passion can't be measured....so it's impossible to gage. =0) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well LeCoeur.. I think it comes down to finding someone with a passion a big as yours, not so much about the same thing.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

I think I actually DO hate girls... I never develop crushes or want to be with anyone. Only once in my life, and I fucked that up! I'm content to be alone, that's my lot in life. I don't know anyone, male or female, that likes IDM where I live, seriously. I met a Kraftwerk fan once, and asked if he liked Autechre... never heard of them. Christ... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I get the weird thing alot... Also the "different" speech =P |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah I get that too.. pff. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
there's this girl i like. i played her squarepusher-beep street and venetian snares-dance like you're selling nails... she dug em both |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yea yea i know he was being literal......so was I =0) is anyone NOT strange/odd/different ? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
There's a girl i know IRL that likes some John Cage and Steve Reich music ive been giving her over IMs. so she obviously doesn't mind the avant garde. im going to try sometime to show her ae, afx, sp and others. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
no but that was a serious point I was making. I mean, for example, I have a passion for music, and film, theatre and writing.. I mostly like people who have at least some passion, whatever its for.. |
