ButcheredChildren
10.17.10 | when your driving with them casually put something on you know they'll like and when they start diggin' it and ask what it is, play off the music as though its popular and trendy so they'll feel dumb for not knowing about the artist and download their music |

10.17.10 | All this music is elitist garbage.
jk.
Kill your friends. |

10.17.10 | Fuck 'em |
Live
10.17.10 | Happens to me too. I get the whole:
"At least we can all talk to each other about our music, yours is shitty garage bands no one has ever heard of etc etc"
Which is biased bullshit. Mainstream music is mainstream because it is easy to hear and understand. Underground music is underground because only people who want a deeper experience from music will look for it. That's what I think anyways. |

10.17.10 | ^ That doesn't mean mainstream music is bad |
Live
10.17.10 | No, mainstream music isn't always bad. It just appeals to a wider audience, hence, mainstream. |
theacademy
10.17.10 | na you seem obsessed with image. why do you have to convert anyone?
who cares if they won't validate your tastes thats what sputnik's for... |
CyanideSunrise
10.17.10 | i like butcheredchildren's idea, that works a lot of the time if you're trying to introduce people to music they'd otherwise just shrug off as "indie bullshit" |
feedhertothesharks
10.17.10 | this doesn't matter dude it's they're loss if they are that closed minded,I know how you feel tho |
patroneyes
10.17.10 | #3 makes me cream my pants.
as for your friends, fuck 'em. who honestly cares if they have a closed opinion on their bad music taste |
Dryden
10.17.10 | you beat the shit out of them so they know next time they say something u dont like |
bab808
10.17.10 | yea i guess you guys are right. and i hear you live, i feel the same way.
theacademy, trust me it's not about image, and i'm not trying to convert anyone. they are my friends, therefore i'm not judging their taste, i just wish they could at least stop ridiculing mine. not that it's the most important thing in the world, i just feel a bit misunderstood. |
Captain North
10.17.10 | Most of my friends don't listen to the same sort of music as me, although I've completely converted one and he in turn converted me to post-metal. You just rec stuff to people that is similarish to what they already listen to, and they'll slowly open their minds up a bit.
However, the stuff on your list won't do that. |
eternium
10.17.10 | Go to local shows.
Only place where you'll meet people who listen to respectable music. |
WhiteTieBlackJacket
10.17.10 | Why the fuck did you type so many "r"s???? |
Butkuiss
10.17.10 | 1 is awesome, 2 is ramazing.
And the "r"s are a ritual employed by various african tribes to priase their shrub deity. Or that's how I understand it at least. |
dreamobile
10.17.10 | I understand how you feel, most of my friends don't listen to the music I do either. |
Emim
10.17.10 | waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhh i wish music wasn't subjective wahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh |
Butkuiss
10.17.10 | You guys are lucky. Hardly any of my friends like anything remotely related to my music. I got two of them into Deftones, one of those into Deftones into Periphery as well, but that's about it. I got one of my other friends into Tool, Opeth and Isis, but he thinks the rest of what I listen to is either too heavy or too weird, or too "mainstream".
It sucks being a sputniker. |
bab808
10.17.10 | yea idk about the "r"s. i tried retyping it, and it when i pressed submit, it still came out with rs in random places... it's definitely sputnik not me |
Locrian
10.17.10 | Here's a typical scenario for me.
Locrian "Hey, want to try this album-"
Other person "WHAT THE FUCK LOCRIAN THIS SUCKS IT'S JUST RAH RAH RAH. FUCK THIS SCREAMO BULLSHIT."
Then I walk away and never speak to that person again. Oh well, their loss. |
couldwinarabbit
10.17.10 | ...I just don't talk to my friends about music. But when I came to university I thought things would change...wrong.
If I hear one more person say the dave mathews band is the best thing ever I'm going to lose it. |
MoosechriS
10.17.10 | Just stop caring what other people think. Problem solved. I get told on a regular basis that my taste in music is shit but at the end of the day its yourself that enjoys it not your mates. Life is so much easier when you stop giving a toss about other peoples opinions and just enjoy things for yourself. |
ZippaThaRippa
10.17.10 | Solution- get over it, your music is shit |
Jash
10.17.10 | sick list brah |
seifer
10.17.10 | trust me they'll never like it |
Helvete
10.17.10 | "Here's a typical scenario for me.

yeah thats a great way to make friends |
NeroCorleone80
10.17.10 | I say just get over it and stop worrying. A lot of my friends dont even know what genres like death and black metal are, let alone listen to them. |
cvlts
10.17.10 | a great majority of my friends don't give a shit about music and probably never will. Whatever, their loss. Bitches can hate all they want but at the end of the day I'm still gonna listen to whatever the fuck I want and if that lines up with them so be it. But they are my friends so I give them a pass for everytime I say 'fuck you, I listen to what I want' |
Liberi Fatali
10.17.10 | Just stop caring about what they think about your music tastes. Give it time and they'll expand their music tastes until it converges with yours.

iPim
10.17.10 | same problem here |
Shadein
10.17.10 | i hate that too, i have few friends in high school that listen to heavy music. I like all kinds of music even though I'm more of a hardcore guy, people just judge me because I listen to "screamo shit". I can understand if other people don't like my music, but if they just say "it's not even music", that just annoys me and it's fucking disrespectful. |
ConsiderPhlebas
10.17.10 | If people tell you it aint music just take the piss and have a laugh about it. Music isn't some sacred thing you have to tiptoe around - the fact is a lot of underground stuff is designed to push the boundaries of music, so it's no surprise that 90% of the human race don't think of it as music. If you started talking in a new, made up language do you think your family and friends would go out of their way to learn it, or would they stick with English? Difference is something to be celebrated not lamented. |
NeroCorleone80
10.17.10 | I remember one time, I was listening to some music and this guy was saying "this is shit it has no melody". Some people just dont seem to realise that music isnt all about melody, and just dismiss anything that isnt melodic as "noise" |
TrapThemAlive
10.17.10 | i love you fucks |
