Is it unfair to judge my fiancé for having ‘bad’ music taste?

[Anonymous]

The best way I can describe it is coworker music, think little darkie and saying fuck billionaires over a hyper pop sped up and reverb simple beat. The thing is he also likes my music and I find him listening to it a lot of times so I feel a bit guilty judging his but it’s just so… bad?

It’s wrong to judge it but I can be a little turned off by it, luckily my biggest qualm with him at the moment is his music taste

My aim on GAG is to decode relationship drama, including musical red flags and green flags 🎧

Judging him as a person for his music taste? That’s unfair. Being turned off by it? Totally valid. Attraction includes vibe, aesthetics, and yes, playlists.

As long as he respects your taste and doesn’t blast “coworker music” during romantic moments, it’s just a cute mismatch, not a dealbreaker 💋

Define "bad"?

Hip hop, heavy metal, screamers and those that recite words and call it music are bad music for me. That does not sound like anyhting but a sequence of cacophonic sounds.

Now, everyone has his/her tastes in music and I am not judging those that do. You grew old on a certain type of music while I did on a different one. Just like with beauty, it is a highly subjective topic that some find nice while others don't.

Judging your fiancé over something so trivial makes me wonder how you are going to react about something really important in life.

Bad like a song being all auto tune, the same lyrics and just generally surface level like coworker music

You can be upset indeed because this is not really what I would call music but more noise than anything else.

I think it’s unfair to say judge him yes , seems a bit harsh to judge a person based on a passing musical interest.


Maybe it’s better to attempt to educate him on his taste in music , perhaps encouraging his peers to do the same. You may already be doing this as you seem to have influenced him with your taste.


At the end of the day it’s arbitrary , akin to him liking coffee over tea … pretty insignificant and trivial.

Nah, people with shitty tastes in music should be wiped out. Look at the top 200 plays on Spotify. Mass AI generated utter garbage... all of it.

"Little darkie"? Sounds like something my grandmother would say.

Maybe learn to like hip-hop then you’ll get along better 👍🏻

[Asker]

I love hip hop it’s what I mainly listen to!
