Why do people loathe my music taste so much? Am I an alien?

Post Reply New Topic

I personally don't know anyone who even slightly shares my music taste or even can bear listening to it without complaining about it except one of my friends. They all think it's horrible eardrum raping noise while I personally think it's not. To me this music is calming and satisfying funnily enough. I don't get it, at all. People generally think I'm nuts or drugged up, high on coke and other drugs. While I actually have never taken any drugs at all in my entire life. Yet I am addicted to this music that people seem to associate to drugs, violence and insanity. Nah I don't get it, at all. I feel left out by it. I can't even play it anywhere without getting people all over me asking me to turn it off, not turning it down, but just turn it off, because it doesn't even sound pleasant to them if it's playing on a quiet volume.

This is my youtube-profile which I've stacked with music I like:

Here's a rough last-fm compilation image of the genres I listen to:


If anyone feels like they're in the same position or have the same taste as me, PM me!

Industrial Metal, Psychedelic Trance, Dark Electro, metal ect? I think I can enjoy some of that.

But yeah I don't know a whole lot about electronic and industrial music yet but I know I love stuff like this:

**Eh f**k it, I'm talking bullcrap again. I never seem to be able to put my mind into words.

I don't like that music either, but so what? What matters is that you enjoy it! Now if you are playing it out in public then everyone does have a right to comment on it and ask you to turn it off, because at that point they're being forced to listen to it when they may not want to.

As for me personally, I actually only know one person who has music tastes remotely similar to mine and he's in his mid-80s lol. I don't feel isolated in any way by it though, the only real drawback is that I don't have anyone to really talk about music with.

My husband likes that kind of music too and I don't like that kind. But I would never tell others to turn their music off because it's their right to listen to it. Telling them to turn it down is one thing but to tell them to turn it off, I won't do that. But if we are on the road traveling, it be might right not not have him play it in my car for the whole trip, we would take turns however. He plays my music and his. Or he can listen to his music through his head phones while I play my own music in the CD player.

If I walk into Hot Topic and this music is playing, I ignore it. I am there to look, not listen to the music so it's just background noise.

ignore this, extra post

I seem to gravitate more to the songs that have a tribal beat to them. Anything else & I just see it as badly mixed music. That just has randomly inserted noise, like someone "high". Like psyclon nine.
