For me its a deal breaker. Its not about the bands its the quality that ends the deal with me. Music is a huge part of my life, I play,study and pratice all kinds of classical,Metal ,jazz and instrumental stuff. I like Music by Musicans, stuff with skill and soul, not this crap forced down your throat by the media.There's a reason why these people are called "Artist: and not "Musicians". I have dated a few woman who like that nonsense, they all got pissy when I praticed and basicly didn't want me playing so much. They didn't understand the real work it takes being a musician and the passion you need to have to sit there for Hours everyday working on those skills, Writing a skillful thing of music.
I truly don't care if she dosnt like my bands but it just has to be the quality of her taste. Music that requires thought, not just noise you throw on in the background when you don't want to hear yourself think. A song should be a journey and tell a story. it should grab your attetion like a movie or book. Most of the time the woman I've dated take a liking to my music moreso then the crap that's on the radio
To me, it doesn't matter one bit. I don't expect anyone to like everything about me. I enjoy hearing what someone ACTUALLY believes rather than agreeing to appease. Taste in music is a very small portion of WHO someone is. I don't believe one characteristic determines a persons demeanor, or attitude. I do believe that 2 people should have a good bit of these characteristic in common.
I used to hate country music, but my girlfriend at the time liked it & I was working with nothing but rednecks so I was exposed to it. & liked certain songs & eventually artists.
My favorite genre's are rock & roll(50's & 60's), motown, funk, rap. I mostly listen to rap, but I don['t try to act like I am a thug. I don't wear "street " clothes. I wear dress clothes almost every day. So just because Iook *this* way or listen to *that* music doesn't mean I'll act a certain way.
B. No... No is my final answer.
For me it's a deal breaker because music is such big part of my life. Music was there when no one else was. I write music all the time. There's always a melody in my head. I never leave home without my ipod. The guys I've liked in the past have liked the same kind of music like me and I would never date anyone seriously who only listens to the "hitlist" or rap/pop. That being said he doesn't have to love my favorite bands, but I like the indie/alternative rock scene and maybe punk. A guy I dated in the past introduced me to what is my favorite band today. That is why music is such a deal breaker to me: it's the way I think and if my kind of music is what he likes then it shows that we think alike.
Just like Juliana7 said it.
I wouldn't even start a relationship with someone who didn't have similar taste in music - or AD LEAST an appreciation for my music...and I for his.
Because I live and breathe music, because I create it and it creates me it is a part of me - so how can you love me if you don't love my music. I look at it from my, subjective point of view, and I'd like a boyfriend who has the same passion for preferably the same music!
It would just make things more compatible and a bit hotter! :)
...ad least for me...
xD
if we are so different, I'd not even start a relationllyship, just to avoid the fact that I'd eventually end it.
I mean a boyfriend should be your partner and your best friend, you can't be so different to the point to''hate'' his favorite bands, or can't stand his taste in music.

Yes and no. I refuse to date anyone who is essentially just a walking Top 40 crony. I need at least SOME good music from a partner. None of that Ke$ha crap; I want something innovative. I love metal (mostly of the power, prog and thrash variety), but I also like many other genres, too. Basically, music taste is my litmus test. If you fail, it's probably because you like Katy Perry or Rihanna and think they're the best singers in the world even though your library is a desolate wasteland of commercialized crap.
NOT AT ALL! I like all music, but Nu Rock & Nu Metal were not my thing until I started allowing my BFF to play it in my car, and now I LOVE IT! So to me, that's just a chance for me to learn to like something new...
I don't really care what kind of music she listens to.
I enjoy screamo, the good kind, like this
but I don't like it when a girl listens to screamo. I don't know why, it's a terrible double standard I have.
It wouldn't be a big deal to me but I am lucky that my boyfriend likes what I like.
I like rock and death metal and none of my friends or family do
they all like rap or country, it's no biggie to me I'm used to people not liking my kind of music anyway honestly
It's not a big deal to me. I love my music, but to me, music is more of a personal experience than a social one. My boyfriend and I have some musical taste in common, but he also listens to some bands I think are complete crap.
Not a big deal at all. Aren't the differences part of what makes a couple interesting to each-other anyway? That being said, I wouldn't go to a jazz concert with anyone.
nah my husband likes heavy metal and weird skateboarder screaming music and I like pop and hip/hop stuff and I just laughed about it, it was never a deal breaker. the only time it's a deal breaker is if someone is a music snob. Those people are annoying though everyone has their own taste in music it's what makes people interesting I think.
Nope, definitely not a dealbreaker, but I tend to like guys who like the same music as me.
Yes and yes.
I have posters and I blast music quite often. I'm also very passionate about playing and dancing to it.
If my partner is no go for that, it's a big part of our connection that isn't there.
Lol...yes I would defo say good riddance!
If every guy I ever dated didn't like my music, and I dumped them every time...dude, I'd never get laid!...lol
Doesn't matter but being an mma fan earns you major brownie points!
The guy that I go on dates with tonight LOVES country, and he knows I'm not a big fan but I get over it. Just like he gets over how I LOVE rap and hip hip.
it really depends if we she needs to listen to it really loud then yes it can be because I don't want to be miserable but if she could just wear head phones then whatever I'm not to concerned
No. The girl I love's a hardcore Westlife fan. And me I like music. LOL!
Anyone have a similar taste?
yes. but not for the same reasons as your ex.
music is personal. to each their own
