It must've been the alcohol talking. OP needs to dial it back.

IMO, if you are really attracted to someone, their musical taste will make little difference, especially if it is relatively mainstream. Musical snobbery = close-mindedness and pretension - add the overreaction and you appear out of control. Not a good combo for many women. IMO open-minded, down-to-earth, in control men are more attractive.

I happen to listen to jazz, so I'm sure some think my musical taste is odd... I do also like the relatively calm, laid-back coolness generally displayed by jazz musicians/fans though - fits my personality. To me, your swearing/two-fist pounds would indicate a level of over-emotionalness and lack of control I wouldn't find attractive. Maybe your choice of music is making you over stressed?

I read it the exact same way. Great minds and all....

You most likely came off as a jerk.... not saying, just saying....

I'm a food and music snob, but I don't around pounding the table.

LOL funniest post I read all day. If a guy started pounding his fist on the table like a freakin caveman and cursing because he didn't like a particular artist or music playing, there's no way I'd ever want to talk to that guy. What a creep!

Musical compatibility doesn't matter to me at all.

Public, fist-pounding temper tantrums about dumb, mundane crap would, though.

What the hell is the matter with you?
Why don't you tell us what kind of music YOU like, Mr. Musical Snob, so we can throw a hissy fit if we don't approve?

Haha, so you're in your 20's I take it?

I know someone who used to fight over bands and music, even with his gf. He was so weird.

This is another of those "issues" that really aren't. It's too bad people try to make it a point of divisiveness.
