i must admit i do judge people a little bit by their taste in music...not a lot but a little bit...

.

if someone tells me they like such and such and i know they are crap (imo of course)..i do judge a little bit...not in a big way but a bit...bad music taste is a bit of a worry to me...maybe its just me and i know that music is mainly subjective (although in my opinion...it isnt ALL subjective...crap is crap )..

.

just wondering if its just me....other people make judgements on me about being a prince fan but i know thats mainly based on homophobia and ignorance so at least i know where i stand with those people...

.

I always ask people I've recently met what music they listen to or who their favourite artists are as it's an indication of if I'll get along with them or not.

It also shows me if I want to get to know them .. for example if your favourite artists are from Young Money then I'm not wasting my time

Absolutely.

"a little bit"?

I've ended conversations and have refused to date people SOLELY based on the taste of their music. Yeah, i roll like that.

Definitely

The music shows her/his general traits, moods, personality, character, etc.

Just imagine a brat who listens to Justin Bieber / Jonas Bros, a hot gal who loves funk and dance music, an old geezer who stopped buying albums in 1981, lol. Different people eh?

wow...

Damn.

Only God (or whatever you believe in) can judge you.

Damn.

music is probably the thing that i take most seriously in life.

right or wrong, it's my passion.

so if someone has crap taste in music, there's no way in hell i could look past that.

Depends what you mean by judge, but if the words "Marilyn Manson" and "musical genius" come up in a sentence, I normally start to walk away

All the time, I don't waste my time with people who only listen to classic rock or country.

I don´t mind people having a completely different taste as long as they have SOME taste in music. I respect other genres, too, but, all in all, yes, having bad taste in music often says a lot about the person and in my experience people with really bad taste are not the people I want to have as friends or sex partners.

I also can´t stand people who have bad taste when it comes to food and clothing. Yes, I´m arrogant like that.

I like your threads Bob.

A certain amount. If they do not like more music than the certain type they listen to...I just look over that...however I know i cannot talk music with them because it must not be much of an intrest.

I do yes, but there are plenty of people who I have met, who when they told me their music taste I thought "what a fanny," but they turned out to be fucking A1 people.

It's the weird fuckers that claim "Oh, i'm just not into music at all," they are the ones to hide the knives from.

I love that we're all being honest here!

I tend to hang aroung people who have eclectic tastes in music like myself. For the most part, I think it shows openmindedness and diversity, an unwillingness to be boxed into any particular category. Back in high school, people (both black and white) would look at me funny when I sang a Maroon 5 song (or more recently, a Rod Stewart song); a few times, they straight up told me "I didn't think you listened to this kind of music" (read: non hip-hop/rap/R&B). Didn't know that I was expected to only listen to those genres because I'm black.

Hip-hop is getting on my nerves these days, though. If you're some clown wearing saggy skinny jeans and seizure inducing colors, bumping the same "nursing home" shit (lol, vainandy) day in and day out, I won't fuck with ya.

What do you mean by judge? Honestly I don't care if they're my friends and they have different music taste than me...Sure I'd love to go to a concert with my friend but I kinda like introducing Prince to my friends...most of them don't even know who he is..

But I'm just curious.. How would u judge a person who doesn't listen to anything but classical music? And how would u judge someone who only listens to what's on the radio? Someone who listens to Bob Dylan or Beatles have just as great music taste as Prince fans, and others don't? I just wanna know what "better" music taste means...And I'm asking this because my music 101 professor used to say modern music(popular music) is so limited as far as use of real instruments, length of melody and modulation are concerned...and he seemed to b quite proud of the fact that he only listens to classical music..

I might as well end up as a social outcast if I do, because virtually ALL of my friends have some fuming crappy taste in music - and they too think my taste is crap & pretentious as well

On a persona level, those are the type of people I would feel secure to have in my corner. But as far as music is concerned? You won't find ANY of us searching through each other's music collection, which is a MAJOR plus, because I wouldn't have to deal with them borrowing my shit

Those are my friends.

On the other hand, I've also met quite a few music enthusiasts who share the same taste as mine, on paper they are the ideal company, but unfortunately they ending up leaving you wanting to feed them knuckle sandwiches so bad.

I don't understand snobs who think they have some sort of superior "taste" and look down on others and insult them because they're not listening to "real" music by "real" musicians. It's not that serious.

I can admit that I'm guilty of that. It's a trait that I'm not too fond of.

Its not that I'm a snob per se, I just have my standards ain't a damn thing wrong with that.

But you know what though? My friends look down on me for my taste too, they fake sneeze when I play something from my Ipod, something about dust coming from my Ipod and hitting their nostrils Lame shit like that, you know

The average person listens to music for fun, enjoyment, or as they used to say on American Bandstand "It has a good beat and I can dance to it". What's wrong with that?

A snob is not necessarily someone who only listens to so-called "high class" music. It doesn't matter if it's someone who only listens to Disney pop or classic rock and calls classical music "fuddy duddy" music, the blues "old folks music", or Kenny G "bland & whitebread". It's still saying the music they like is superior to other music.

If you don't like Michael Jackson I don't like you.

Rebecca Black is GOD OF ALL MUSIC.

If you disagree, you are a snivelling tone deaf idiot who is not worth your own miserable existence and should be taken out and shot immediately so that your wasted skin can be used as a warning flag to all those who would disagree.

Worship her or DIE!

Fun, fun, fun, fun....

Steady on with the Nickelback, they're only doing now what Bon Jobi did 25 years ago, i personally love Nickelback.

This thread is where musical snobs try to make themselves feel better.

i judge anyone who is a Lil Wayne fan...
