I would say that I probably wouldn't date someone who disliked music because music releases serotonin in the brain when you listen to it. If you dislike music, then there is probably something fundamentally wrong with your brain if you don't feel that release of serotonin when you listen to it. But if you are one of those people who doesn't particularly love music, but can still appreciate well-written songs and can sill go out on the weekends ad dance and have fun at a bar or club where the societal expectation is to listen to music, then I'd be fine with that. I'd be perfectly fine dating a guy who always let me listen to whatever I wanted because he had no particular preference.
I met a guy last night at a club who used that BS excuse "I like everything" when my friend asked him what kind of music he listens to. I told him this was a cop out because you either don't listen to music at all or you have a certain kind or genre that you listen to the majority of the time. If you're going to say you like listening to music, then tell me what kind you like. If that's not the kind I listen to, that's fine, but don't sit there and tell me you like all kinds equally because nobody likes all kinds equally, this conversation is going nowhere, and I probably wasn't interested in you to begin with, so you've just made it so I don't want to talk to you as a person anymore.

I never thought about it. After a quick google you discover, there are people who hate music,
Including Freud lol. It's something scientists call Musical Anhedonia. Anhedonia can be
a clinical feature of depression, schizophrenia, and some other mental illnesses.
'The inability to experience pleasure from activities usually found enjoyable,
e. g. exercise, hobbies, music, sexual activities or social interactions'.
If someone I was interested in really hated music, they could have other problems too.
so . no .
I think my vote went to the wrong one. I would say no! Music inspires a lot of my art and I could not be with someone who does not appreciate any type of art. Doesn't have to be something I would listen to, but it would have to be something that inspires them.
I don't believe such a person exists, I think it is impossible. There are so many genres of music and so many ways it is used. there's music in movies (scores), video games, there is rock, pop, dance, rap, country, jazz, blues, christian, new age classical, reggae, and sub genres of them as well as many others. There is even music in church. I will believe you if they have been exposed to at least what i have listed and still do not like music. Music isn't just entertainment, it's embedded into our society. Musical chairs, dancing, national anthems, sports events,.. I could go on,,, It really baffles me, that people can make that claim. If you are such a person, I would love to hear your argument and stance.

I have played percussion instruments since age 10 and piano since age 13. I sing tenor in my church choir and I write music. Dating someone who does not appreciate music would simply not work.

sure I don't care to be honest hahahah
I love music... so I can't be with someone who hates it... unless he loves art and poetry... but how can anyone dislike music? I feel like anyone who doesn't like music has no personality or may be boring! Well unless he likes art and poetry... music is a combo of art and poetry though so yeahhh
I don't think I'd care too much.
And, to be honest, disliking the same kind of music I dislike is more important than liking the same music I like in the long run.
If I can't stand Justin Bieber and she loves hearing it, then we'll have an issue.Music is very important to me: listening, learning, writing, recording, and performing. It's not how I make a living, but I'm very serious about it. Except for professional musicians, music scholars, and people that just really know their shit, most people don't seem to consider it nearly as important as I do.
If I were dating, I couldn't rule out people who didn't consider it as important as I do; it would be very limiting if I did. Still, I couldn't date someone who was apathetic; it's too important to me. And I would doubt the humanity of someone who actively hated music.
That said, a woman who knew as much or more than me, or who was a really accomplished musician or songwriter: huge bonus points!Normally i would not particularly care.
However.
I am a musician and make my living that way... and I constantly am listening to music (if not playing , my own!)
So as much as I may not care... unless he is sway-able or at least toleratea it for me, it would not work out long-term. Haha. I realize I am slightly out of the norm in my situation, but for me... music is just too big a part of my life. He would have to adapt to be able to hang around me.I want to date someone who likes music, like if u don't like music then why? I think music is a great way to connect people together so how do u connect with people cause I'm pretty sure the majority likes music
Doesn't like Music? I couldn't... driving in a car without music is one of the easiest was to irritate me/get me in a bad mood.
I have the widest "Music taste" of anyone I know so I'm tolerable of a lot of different types.If he doesn't mind me listening to it when I'm cleaning; I would.
My music isn't on full blast but loud enough so I can hear it while I'm doing things. Moving from room to room generally.
Now, if he has an issue with that... >.> He can put in ear plugs and deal.I've dated a guy in the past who didn't like music. It was okay, but I don't know if I would do that again. I love music, I like having it on in the background in my home. I like listening to music a lot. I like dancing to it and I like singing to it in the car.
So for me, music is an important part of my life. I always felt weird about listening to music near him because I knew he didn't really care for it.I don't see why that would be an issue. It's not like we have to listen to music together. I prefer to listen to music alone with my headphones anyway.
Besides, even if she did like music, what are the odds that she likes all of the exact same genres/artists/songs as I do?Like to the point where I couldn't listen to my music around them? That might get old after a while. I demand to be serenade by the sweet sounds of Kenny G at all times😂
media3.giphy.com/media/2FazbYdly6tSiDfP2/giphy.gifTrust me. I can make them like music. (͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D-mUjKDbDfYIf they hated music to the point where they were constantly complaining about whatever music was playing or I wasn't even allowed to listen to music in the car or at a party then no. That would be incredibly annoying. If they hate music they can at least try to tolerate it.
I wouldn't care. As long as it don't infringes on my rights to make music. I view what I do as a lifelong career. He has his likes and I have mine. The reality is everybody won't like the same thing.
Like doesn't like it at all or just doesn't care about it much?
Like I'm not a big music person but I like to jam in the car, I can't remember lyrics well or anything but I still jam lol. I probably could since it's not a big part of my life but I still will jam in the car hahaHell to the NO!!! That is right! I am a musician. I love all kinds of music. You don't have to be into it like me, but at least like it. Music is the universal language!
I dont care if he doesn't like music... as long as he doesn't flip a shit when I'm listening to music or singing or whatever.
I'm a first soprano, I love to sing. My boyfriend, @TheTrueLordJ makes beats, mixing and mastering, and is in a metal band. You do the math.
Someone who doesn't like music? Does such a person exist?
