How much does music taste matter in a relationship?

[thegirlnextdl]

Just something I'm curious about--how much does having a similar music taste matter to you in a relationship?

Not at all

A lot

A little

[GrecianHeart123]

It matters a lot to me. I love music and if you can appreciate my taste in music but still have some differences so you can broaden my horizon and I do yours, I'm half in love with you already.
I'm super into trap and hip hop, but also alternative and synthwave and similar genres but a lot of guys I know don't like a lot of my favourite artists. They won't even listen to music by women if it's not trap, so it was a huge turn on when I found out a friend of mine liked trap, but also liked Lorde, Melanie Martinez, Oh Wonder, Pink, and some other of my favourite artists

I said "A little" because music affects how someone acts. For example if some one listens to music that talks about drugs, sex, etc. And the other person listens to music about love, that might show through their actions. I personally love old RnB music like New Jack Swing (Mint Condition <3) and yes, I would love to have someone to jam with when listening to music and not argue over who can have the radio for themselves while one a road trip or something!!! hahahaha

Absolutely agree to this response. My ex always listened to depressing music and well... she was always depressed go figure. Technically that's a character trait but I do believe people can be affected by music.

My boyfriend has an interesting taste in music, I don't mind any type of music, I'm into anything and nothing. I don't listen to anything on my own time, but when I'm with him it ranges from 60s music to bass to Gorillaz and just random songs he found, which I don't mind at all, it's a cute quirk he has, I also enjoy the music he puts on. He'll geek out about orchestra music as well, which is awesome.

I love music and singing, so it'd be awesome if we'd have the same taste and just sing in the car (or anywhere) together and make music that we both love. However if that's not the case it wouldn't be a dealbreaker

[Pho3n1x]

I listen to stuff on the heavier side... power metal, and post hardcore are my favorites. Im fairly sure I've turned off some girls when I told them I liked that style, but for me personally doesn't matter much. I can survive car rides with whatever music since no one in my family listens to what I do, so most times they are playing what they like.

[madhatters4]

it matters in the sense that shared interests can really be an added bonus in a relationship. but of course there are plenty of interest to share outside of music. so as long as each can respect the other person's musical tastes then the differences should be of little consequence in the overall harmony of the relationship

I'd love to have someone who can sit down and listen to the songs that I love. It's unfortunate that a lot of women my age don't like the same music. I spend my time listening to artists like Loreena Mckennitt, Kyle Landry, Future World and really anything with piano.

[jslangley]

Personally, for me I don't really care considering I like all forms of music and even songs that I completely despise I will still be happy to sing along with and listen to out of kindness and respect. My best friend loves justin biebers baby, she listens to it almost every day and when I'm at hers or she is at mine we still have a good laugh singing along and doing really embarrasing dances that would be 10 times worse in public

[lumos]

To me it doesn't matter at all. If we have completely different tastes, we can just listen to our own stuff through headphones. It's at the bottom of the list of things I care about in a partner.

[Andre__]

For me personally a lot. I get irritated rather quickly from music I don't like so when that is played a lot I'm not the nicest person. Won't work if my SO had a very different taste.

[ravedave]

I go to concerts a lot, and music is a big part of my life so I'd much prefer someone who somewhat shares my tastes. Also I just couldn't date someone who listened to country 24/7. That'd honestly be a deal breaker.

[Greatcat]

most people have no music taste. I don't mean as in they don't have preferences, I just mean that those preferences have little to do with MUSIC and a lot to do with IMAGE AND MARKETING a. k. a what's 'in'

[Anonymous]

Honestly as long as we can share the radio and each pick some songs, it's fine. But if my boyfriend loves metal, I think it'd be rude to make him listen to selena gomez the whole car ride, vice versa. Make a playlist and shuffle it. You both might find out some new songs you both like.

[Leo3572]

I would say it's matters a lot. Music is an important part of my life and I have my very own taste of it. I couldn't imagine to life without that music or only music that doesn't fit to my taste. That could become a huge problem

[1nittol3arn]

It matters very little. If a couple won't get along because of music choices... 😂...

They may need to re-evaluate priorities 😋

[TheFunkyThumb]

As long as they are ok with me making fun of them for having bad taste it doesn't matter

Guys and girls.. opinions needed in my last question pls add more thanks xx

[EPunn]

It matters if she'd blast country, classical, or heavy metal when I'm around.

[Finchie40]

Doesn't matter a person's taste in music. doesn't make them a horrible person

[GemmaStylezz]

It’s really Dosent as lon as they’re open to listening to your music as well as you are to theirs.

[MarvelFan300]

A little but I would if I had a girlfriend and she didn't mind listening to Blink 182, Sum 41, and etc.

[Browneye57]

Not very relevant. Sexual desire is FAR more important. :)

[doitson]

I dont think it matters at all. I do however think it would be nice to have that in common though and enjoy some concerts together. Not neccessary tho

[Vrinda_jain]

A little to be honest. I can't live with someone who complains about my music taste all the time but I'd like to try their kind of music taste sometimes as well.

[Aroso]

I love all types of music. I just have to listen to it enough times to fall in love with it.
