...of her musical tastes. met this gal a few weeks ago online (it's the future of dating, I don't care what anyone says). Try the coffee/walk thing, she seems okay. Offers to give me a ride home afterwards as I walked, and that's when I got turned off a little bit.
The music she listens to is that dubstep techno garbage.
Now I'm a pretty open minded guy, but that really turned me off. I like most music styles, but for some reason it really rubs me the wrong way. There's just nothing appealing to it - it has no composition, and there's no art to it - I like hearing people sing.
I joke that this stuff sounds like farm machinery, and she gave me a weird look. She says she only listens to that kind of stuff, and doesn't like anything else. I declined to speak further of it, and we didn't really make any date plans. To be honest it was a little weird getting out of the car.
So, is that wrong I would never see her again because of music tastes? She seemed cool otherwise, had nice interests and the like. I just cannot stand listening to that cr*p, it sounds like a factory or something.
An example if anyone doesn't know what I'm talking about:
LOL! I totally understand. At least one musical taste in common is all I ask. I am actually really excited to talk about music with someone. And I hope they actually appreciate music.
If I find out someone likes one of my more obscure favorites it is like +100 (I have probably met somewhere in the neighborhood of 15 people ever in real life that have heard of my fave band. Most people just humor me and pretend they have heard of them).
The fact that it was a little weird getting out of the car and that neither of you could laugh it off and move on to something else (make another observation - anything) makes it seem as though you're simply not very compatible personality wise.
I like all sorts of music but I tend to keep the specialty stuff to myself when I am driving alone. If somebody's in the car I'll just put the radio on and tell them to go ahead and change it if they want.
But to answer the question, having a different taste in music wouldn't be a deal breaker for me. I'm married to somebody who has some opposite views and interests to mine.
For the record I don't like dubstep either and if I had to be trapped in a car for a lengthy period of time I might change my above opinion.
I used to like drum and bass too. People keep trying to tell me to get into dubstep. No bueno, this is just noise. DnB was a lot more musical.
I couldn't handle Drum n Bass. I can handle very chill out music in extremely small doses, stuff that you would listen to while making dinner or sitting around reading a book. Anything more than that, i'm out.
