I recently saw a question: "Can differences in musical taste be a deal breaker? [in relationships].

My response got kinda out of control so rather than rant on the forum ill do it her tongue

I think yes it can be, as its impossible to enjoy your favourite music if it sends your significant other off into a hate rant/ complaint binge.

Im into quite a variety of musical styles including folk-rock, pop , classic rock and punk so im not exactly a music nazi. I do however have an extreme dislike of going to show or live performances. Not so much because of the music but mainly because i work in that industry and it just feels way too much like work these days. Also some of my favourite bands also happen to suck live tongue my main problem with shows is that its comes down to my dislike of 'watching someone do something ' as an activity.

If i wanted to watch someone fiddle around with a guitar (skills and talent aside) that is something i could do at home. likely for free, in a much better seat and without drunk douchebags jostling me or attempting to start a fight because they can.

Its the same reason i dont watch sports. If i feel like sports on a particular day I go play some soccer or hockey.

Music sounds better when you arent being;

1.sent deaf by over powered amps
2. not being shoved/ elbowed or pushed around by drunk dicks
3. Not forking over $100 plus for the above.
4. Not blitzed off your face.
5. in danger of having a cigarette stuck in your eye (yes that very nearly happened)

Just my view. and yes i understand its quite bitter but its from my experience. I know you will always have a better time if you go to shows and festivals with an open mind but in the last 4 that iv been to I have nearly been punched inthe face for no reason other than being unable to escape a fighht that errupted in the mosh pit, nearly had my eye put out by a douchebag smoking in the mosh, harrassed by people asking if i had drugs/booze/etc and other generally crap behaviour.
arroia:
I used to enjoy live shows a few years ago way more than I do now. If I go to one, it's usually something small, local and relatively tame. I just don't have the energy and patience for drunk people anymore (probably because nowadays I rarely get even tipsy, nevertheless drunk).
And I agree that different taste in music can be a deal breaker in certain cases, especially when you're younger. Mostly because in certain music requires a certain lifestyle; you don't like going to same places/shows, you don't enjoy the same crowd of people, you don't dress the same - all those little things that matter when you're a kid. Later in life it becomes easier to tolerate, but it can definitely cause trouble. Sorry if I'm rambling, you just got me thinking. blush
