My mate...
 

offline exsub from United Kingdom on 2005-08-09 01:53 [#01688889]
Points: 524 Status: Lurker



Me and my mate both have our own music tastes, and they are
slightly different.

I am mmore open minded than he is, as he basically only
listens to metal.. whereas i'm more interested in
electronic/heavy rock and anything else that i enjoy ( from
pop-some- to orchestra )
He does like some other things, like rock and some
electronic.. but it just confuses me how someone can be so
closed minded to other music genres.

The other topic made me think about this and i saw a lot of
people saying how they like a lot of other stuff to so it
got me thinking about it.

perhaps his mood is naturally quite brutal inwhich he has to
listen to heavy metal to express his feelings - which
doesn't bother me, but it makes me wonder. ( since the stuff
he listens to is very heavy, e.g... american head charge,
Black Label Society) Don't get me wrong i like metal, but i
couldn't listen to it all the time..

thanks for reading.

maybe you need your mate to listen to some good music you
enjoy?

"( since the stuff he listens to is very heavy, e.g...

comedy value of this sentence, I hereby declare this thread
not entirely useless.

Nah, i was just wondering if you guys had any feelings on
this subject.. e.g. " in my personal experince, a few people
i know listen to one genre too, perhaps these people just
love this genre so much they decide to listen to it than any
other genre "

I think all people like many different styles. The fact is
(like you said) people tend to close their mind to other
music then they're used too. Also, there is a variaty to
choose from nowadays.

What if we only had Jazz and Metal? Then there were a lot
more people who liked these genres.

Our daily environment like friends, fashion, media and the
influence from our childhood are a decisive factor.

Yeah, im just greatful the internet had opened my mind up to
other genres.. my child hood enviroment towards music didn't
stretch very much.. i had the smurfs go pop tape, then i
bought run dmx, then my brother gave me metallica. Then i
heard some prodigy and apollo 440.

if you listen to stuff like that, i'd wager the mood isn't
really "brutal", more like 13 years old and into ninja
turtles... is your mate in a coma or vegetative state?
because that would explain why somebody would want to listen
to those bands.

It's funny, isn't, different music and stuff? There's like,
y'know, different styles. Some people listen to all sorts,
and some only listen to a few, or even one!!!! I am very
brainy and cultured, whereas my mate Dave is a plank. I'm
good whereas he flounders in his own effluent, AND HE
DOESN'T EVEN REALISE IT!!! Aphex Twin does good music, my
mate Dave only likes "Come to Daddy", but that's only cause
it sounds like Heavy Metal. He just doesn't "get" complex
tracks like Vordoboshin or Metalface off of Druqks. That's
so sad. I will tell him later what all you people think
about him, now that I've talked about him on the Internet.

Play him Ventolin, that's the most metal Aphex...

I have found that most metal heads are quite placid
creatures, living in basements playing d&D and masturbating
endlessly over Magic cards

Oh come on Epohs, join in, it's easy. Just think of a friend
of yours that you think you're better than, and then tell us
how uncultured they are and why they suck but how you rule.

other music than him.

Why can't people learn to get along?

Music is a subjective thing, thus you can't criticise
sombody for liking somthing different than you. Music is
based at an emotional and volatile level. Attacking
sombody's music tastes is like attacking their feelings.
Plus most of the time (I find) no track is perfect and I'll
listen to it only because it has qualities I like eg. some
trance tracks I listen to have the most revoltingly
pretentios singing but I put up with it because it has
superior melodies.

jesus christ, some people on here are so sarcastic, saying
that i dislike my friend because he listens to different
music and that i think im superior.

shut up man, im not like that. this topic was a discussion
based upon your feelings towards why people listen to their
own stuff.

My mate likes come to daddy too because of the metal like
sounding synth.

The interesting point i was trying to get at was that some
people can tolerate different noises/sounds... I used to
think music was boring when i'd hear a violin (because it
would be classical and i'd just turn it off) but the
internet has opene my mind up to lots of stuff - and as one
guy pointed out that your music taste is influnced by your
friends/enviroment etc... well it's nice to have a change
and just go out to explore other music.

I never knew what idm was until i was 15 and downloaded the
girl/boy song off kazaa lite.
