It's worse when you ask them what kind of music they like, and they answer, "A little bit of everything."
Mmmm hmmm. You like country, pop and mainstream R&B, don't you?
Me: "Wow so you probably like classical too?"
Her: "Yes I love classical music!"
Me: "Who's your favorite composer?"
Her: "Oh I can listen to any of them"
Me: "...Who's your favorite orchestra?"
Her: "I don't know, I can't decide"
Me: "... ...Name anything related to classical music"
Her: "..."
Me: "WHAT IS A CELLO"
Her: "Is that what Dave Matthews plays?"
Me:

Eh. Doesn't always mean that
I go from hard rock, new wave, grunge,classic rock, blues, alt rock, electronic (deep house/trance),punk, (old) hip hop, crooners, elvis....opera...
Yeah I have a wide range I like. Of course I like some genre more than others - but if it sounds good
And yeah, if you don't like music (& I've met people who have said this ) it'll never work, lol

Strange point of view... I say I like a little bit of everything all the time and it means just that....

No doubt... I couldn't be with someone that didn't revere music.
It means take all the stuff you listed in your profile music wise and add a few more things like country, swing, jazz, vocal standards, speed metal, 70's punk, maybe a dash of rap.
Not sure why you seem to be having an issue with the concept of a little bit of everything

I'm just getting you to extrapolate. Now you are saying why you like the music you do, which is good. All I'm saying is that if I ask someone this, it is because I would really like to know or discuss.

I read a study where they found that some people derive no pleasure from music. That would be horrible.
I've heard that too. It has been mentioned also that when people get older, they go more toward talk radio. That's true with a few people I know. Or they don't have the time to search for new music and that kind of thing.
How similar are your and your partner's taste in music?
In our case, it's very different lol.
Me:
EDM, classical, international folk music, Spanish music, classic rock, melodic death metal, 80s-90s rap
Husband:
He only listens to: Taylor Swift "Shake it Off", Backstreet Boys, One Direction, Megan Trainer "All About Bass", Sia "Chandelier", Magic "Rude", Justin Bieber "Baby"
How do you balance radio control with your partner?
When I was a teenager, I breathe and live music. Teen age years is really the age range for that. Now, I really don't care for it. But if I do listen to music. Guess what I listen to? ONLY 80s music. Same songs I listen to when I was a teen.
Me and my husband rarely fight about music. Except for that one time which really pissed me off. It was one of his a-hole moments. Ugh.
Having been a musician all my life, I'm extremely picky about my music selection. All through middle school, high school, and college, I'd met only 1 person who owned any of the music I owned.
My tastes have shifted a bit since then, but my new collection is also one that few people have ever heard.
That being said, musical tastes were basically a non-factor in whether my wife and I would get along. At any given time she listens to about 10 total songs, all from the same genre. Other than the songs driving me crazy (particularly on long car rides when I drive her car) it's really not a big deal.
If she was super into rap and R&B it wouldn't have worked between us. Outside of that, I don't much care what she listens to.
