Nikkolae 01.06.13	having friends who listen to great stuff is just so swee treb.

sideburndude 01.06.13	My actual friends listen to some good stuff mostly metal, classical music and avant-garde jazz
Trebor. 01.06.13	My other friend listens to jazz and industrial and stoner rock and nujabes and shit
Acanthus 01.06.13	A lot of Clutch, Soundgarden, Sublime, The Allman Brothers Band, Phish, and a few others. Music at work is pretty wide genre wise.
keyokeyo 01.06.13	Most listen to A$AP/Drake/Kendrick/etc and Passion Pit/Phoenix/M83/etc. Nothing unlistenable terrible but my phone would sadly get the boot if I controlled the iHome.
Apollo 01.06.13	Most of my friends listen to shit
sideburndude 01.06.13	Other than close friends i have a few who are into some good hip-hop
sideburndude 01.06.13	But other than like eight people mostly shit
EvoHavok 01.06.13	A few friends listen to good rock, metal and punk, but most listen to mainstream crap (not 'mainstream rock' bands, that ain't mainstream around here).
mindleviticus 01.06.13	my friends listen to a lot of indie pop so I try and stay in touch with that side
CrimsonFloyd 01.06.13	My friends listen to popular alt bands like the smashing pumpkins and RHCP, and every year they go to Osheaga (a popular alt/indie/bunchostuff festival) and discover new artists. They don't listen to my Recomendations even if I know they will like them. I have a few friends with good individualized taste.
ViralOblivion 01.06.13	depends on the friend one friend but its all good music
SeaAnemone 01.06.13	friends don't let friends listen to emery
anarchistfish 01.06.13	guy just posted el-p on facebook. shame he's a dickhead. all the people I know with the best tastes in music are dickheads
Trebor. 01.06.13	That sounded really gay
bakkermaarten007 01.06.13	I have no real life friends with good taste in music except for one who's now moved to Austria...
bakkermaarten007 01.06.13	And sometimes some of my friends are interested to find out what I listen to, then I let them listen to some post-rock song of 10 minutes length and after 3 minutes they stop listening and say "it's not too bad". Lol, that's when I remember why I visit sputnik to discuss music.
EvoHavok 01.06.13	Lol that reminds me of people that skip through a song and give an opinion.
bakkermaarten007 01.06.13	And if they ask what I listen to I mainly say indie rock, most don't even know what post-rock means and if I said emo then they'd just look at me with eyes full of prejudice. Pfff, people are so ignorant. I want some real life friends with the same taste in music....
bakkermaarten007 01.06.13	"Lol that reminds me of people that skip through a song and give an opinion." Yeah, or people that ask to fastforward to the chorus =D
SeaAnemone 01.06.13	Most of my friends have horrid taste in music but that's okay I don't judge them like an asshole because music isn't like a "hobby" for them like it is for me it's only something they listen to in social settings really... what annoys me more is the people I work with at my college radio station that talk about how their taste is "eclectic" and shit because they listen to both Florence and the Machine AND Passion Pit AND Simon and Garfunkel like WOAH but oh well music's not really a big deal anyway in real life I never talk about it and try to ignore it as much as possible... but yeah my friends are either into country, or electronic (not like Deviant. kind, like Avicii and Swedish House Mafia and stuff), or some of my girl friends like indie like Frightened Rabbit and stuff... I don't really have any friends that are into metal or metalcore or punk though really thank god cuz those kids are weirdos 98% of the time... besides most of you guys, of course, I'm sure
SeaAnemone 01.06.13	I don't go to shows by myself though so I go to see a lot of "shitty" artists and end up having a great time i.e. last semester I saw State Radio, Avicii, Third Eye Blind, and some random electronic ones plus Dave Matthews Band and other ones I'm forgetting
bakkermaarten007 01.06.13	Lol sea, exactly what my friends listen to you've described there. Sometimes I AM forced to talk about it though, they'd just ask for my opinion like they are looking for approval.
Wolfhorde 01.06.13	" Pfff, people are so ignorant. I want some real life friends with the same taste in music...." So much irony. Completely agree with Sea's mindset, anybody who judges people because of the music they listen to are dimwitted dumbfucks.
bakkermaarten007 01.06.13	"So much irony." Huh? Without letting out the former parts it's not ironic at all.
SeaAnemone 01.06.13	I mean yeah I don't like ignore them when we're talking about music I just don't bring it up so when conversations happen they're about Led Zeppelin or Mumford and Sons or whatever which I don't mind
trytorememberforget 01.06.13	all of my friends are stoners, about half listen to decent indie stuff that i'm not really a fan of, the rest listens to really good current rap, i.e. curren$y, action bronson, ab-soul, kendrick etc.
bakkermaarten007 01.06.13	"I mean yeah I don't like ignore them when we're talking about music I just don't bring it up so when conversations happen they're about Led Zeppelin or Mumford and Sons or whatever which I don't mind" Exactly what I do too.
Wolfhorde 01.06.13	Also, a lot of the the sceneric metalheads/punks/whatever are indeed "weirdos" or just plain narrow-minded, decadent idiots.
RiffOClock 01.06.13	shitty local hip hop, shitty metal, shitty false indie and rhcp
anarchistfish 01.06.13	my friends tell me I have a bad taste in music
Propose 01.06.13	old school heavy metal mostly
SeaAnemone 01.06.13	"my friends tell me I have a bad taste in music" so do people on Sputnik hmmm... it's gonna take a detective to figure out this case
Wolfhorde 01.06.13	"Huh? Without letting out the former parts it's not ironic at all." Let's recapture: You generally tend to see a lot of if not mainly negativity in other people (judging from your lists and what you write), you say other people are so incredibly ignorant - yet you're yapping about wanting friends with 'good taste in music' and none of that seems any bit ironic to you?
anarchistfish 01.06.13	""my friends tell me I have a bad taste in music" so do people on Sputnik hmmm... it's gonna take a detective to figure out this case" yeah but for completely different reasons I can't win
bakkermaarten007 01.06.13	Not even going into this. It's clear you know a lot about me and you already know your answer.
theacademy 01.06.13	shut the fuck up everybody hates you
LifeAsAChipmunk 01.06.13	hippity-hop mostly
Zeneren 01.06.13	Only a rare number of my friends have a depth to their music taste. Most stick to a single genre either top 40 rnb/hip-hop or maybe a bit of indie you know Bon Iver and Arcade Fire but nothing vaguely interesting
Wolfhorde 01.06.13	"a depth to their music taste" lol
theacademy 01.06.13	bon jovi
treeqt. 01.06.13	havey has pretty dank taste
Keyblade 01.06.13	top 40 stuff
TrstN01 01.06.13	Most exclusively listen pop and shitty rap. A couple have standard indie/alternative taste. One listens to BVB, Nirvana, and stuff like that. And one shares most of my musical taste.
Apollo 01.06.13	My friends generally listen to Finch, Blink, The Used, Memphis May Fire...a lot of that kind of stuff. Not bad, but definitely not diverse
KSK1 01.06.13	Most of my friends listen to nothing that I do. One friend still stuck in the vortex of shitty metalcore like AA and Of Mice And Men, another friend only listens to really shitty hardcore with nothing but 2 steps and breakdowns and so forth and so on. No matter how hard I try I can't break them out of their shells.
deathofasalesman 01.06.13	My best friends listen to hardcore, 80s metal, hip-hop and some mainstream stuff. My girlfriend listens to pop, some female-fronted rock/metal, and La Dispute.
foxblood 01.06.13	everything my friends like is what i like minus all of the metal, which is pathetic.
jefflebowski 01.06.13	in my school liking mumford and sons and fall out boy qualifies you as a total indie kid, which pretty much says it all
sideburndude 01.06.13	lol
ChopSuey 01.06.13	my friends listen to crap
Kman418 01.06.13	A few of mine literally exclusively listen to electronica off of Newgrounds, another listens exclusively to 80s metal and stuff like Disturbed or Avenged Sevenfold.
ChopSuey 01.06.13	a lot of people outside of sputnik love A7X
KSK1 01.06.13	I have one friend that is open to my suggestions and has taken a lot from me and she recs me a lot of shit too. Other than her, I hate talking to my friends about music because 95% of them listen to stuff I would conisder to be shit.
ILJ 01.06.13	My best friend is into a lot of the same stuff I am, but she's really picky about lyrics. My gf listens to some terrible stuff.
foxblood 01.06.13	my friends' religious roommate always gets in fights with me because i listen to satanic music and make atheistic black metal. he's convinced i'm controlled by the illuminati
ZilbelPing 01.06.13	My close friends listen to indie pop like the kooks (even though they claim it's true indie), hip hop, and some metal. I can usually show them something and they'll like it as long as it's catchy or chill. Showed them faunts, nmh, and vales and they liked them all. They sometimes show me stuff too which is pretty cool. Most of my other friends listen to more mainstream post hardcore and metalcore. I dont bring up music and don't talk about it unless someone asks, the cool thing is my close friends love to talk about it and are open to anything. Taught them what skramz was and some are getting into it now it's sweet
OysterizerInsomniac 01.08.13	I mostly talk about music with my band but I've got a friend who listens to GY!BE, Kanye West, Say Anything, Radiohead and some other cool stuff. In my band my drummer listens to a lot of Rush, Blink-182 and The Police, our bassist is moving out of his scene kid phase and basically just listens to a ton of Taking Back Sunday now, our other guitarist listens to fairly mainstream stuff and our vocalist listens to the same stuff as me.
shrek 01.08.13	My good friends mostly listen to shit like Slipknot, Pantera, Pink Floyd etc. but luckily they are pretty open about new music and still come to shows with me even when they don't know any of the bands, it's great.
auberginedreams 01.08.13	one of my best friends is a big justin bieber fan, he paid several hundred dollars to see him in concert. but he's from hong kong and he's obsessed with doing everything stereotypically american, and i guess justin bieber is a symbol of american pop culture to him. the funny thing is that he's not even american, he's canadian. and he tried to explain to me how meaningful his lyrics were and i just kind of nodded and tried to change the subject so as to avoid going into a long elitist rant about how his music taste is bad.
ChopSuey 01.08.13	lol
YankeeDudel 01.08.13	Well obviously alot of people mainly stick to the top 40 and hip hop or whatever. If they want to get crazy hipster maybe put on some Mumford and Sons or Fun. My friends for the most part listen to some solid stuff though (ya know the big rock bands like Zep, Floyd, RHCP, Black Keys, Metallica, etc), some indie, and some good hip hop but they dont go very deep. Not enough metal or more underground anything in general but cant complain. Not everyone has the time or desire to dig for obscure shit all day. Music is a casual/social thing for most people. Just like a film enthusiast probably thinks Im lame since I only really care to watch the most mainstream/critically acclaimed movies and never went to an indie film festival. Different people got different hobbies.
ChopSuey 01.08.13	true that
silentstar 01.08.13	true that [2] I'm sure we all had that phase when we thought we were "this and that" for listening to more obscure and undergound music but it doesn't mean much in the long run, because as you said, "Different people got different hobbies." However, it's always nice to find out when people are willing to give different music a try, if just for the sake of trying to appreciate something a bit different when compared to what's usually on the radio.
DrMaximus 01.08.13	shit, end thread
MuhNamesTyler 01.08.13	Most of my friends listen to country that tries to be tough hard rock and the shittiest rap ever. I do have a couple of friends who play guitar and listen to a lot of post hardcore and indie though. Pretty much everyone I know that doesn't play guitar just gets stuck on whatever is on the radio
