BallsToTheWall: What Do You Do When Everyone Hates Your Music?

FeralMemories 03.16.10	Just blast it. They should deal with it.
Brokenjewel 03.16.10	I love the 'this isn't even music' argument. There's something so sweet about a friend or family member looking you in the eye and telling you that your opinions are worthless and you aren't even intelligent enough to recognise music. Not that I'm bitter.
bloc 03.16.10	Tell them to shut the fuck up or take a bus.
Kiran 03.16.10	mosh
hando 03.16.10	i just dont interact with people
bungy 03.16.10	kill them
March_Of_Sand 03.16.10	If I'm driving and someone in the car doesn't like the music I'm playing I just tell them too god damn bad, it's my car and I can listen to what ever the fuck I want to. Just like I don't tell someone to listen to something different if I'm in there car and don't like whats being played. Oh and if they have that big of a problem with whats being played then they don't have to get a ride with me if they don't want too. It doesn't bother me if I dont give you a ride.
March_Of_Sand 03.16.10	Lol, I just read your descriptions.
MUNGOLOID 03.17.10	jeez the people you drive with are picky as fuck. tell them if they don't like what you're playing, they can bring their own shit and play it through some headphones.
BallsToTheWall 03.17.10	Agreed March/Jewel. But this has gotten to the point where this girl I had been going after for weeks, gets into my car for the first time and we start bickering. End result. haven't seen or heard from said girl in two weeks.
porch 03.17.10	You strangled her and burned her body, just admit it
MUNGOLOID 03.17.10	if a girl can't share the same taste of music for you, what's the point? unless if it ain't serious to begin with.
Ire 03.17.10	Just tell them that you're BallsToTheFUCKINWall. That should work very well.
EnricoPalazzo 03.17.10	The only person who gets a say in what is being played is the girlfriend. Anyone else can put up or shut up.
porch 03.17.10	If a girl had to share my taste in music then i would be single for the rest of my life. it's definitely not an important factor.
BallsToTheWall 03.17.10	I've always kept it real even if it meant driving home to somberly whack off to pornhub. So ill do what I do now. How cool would having a horse be though?
Yazz_Flute 03.17.10	horses smell awful
Brokenjewel 03.17.10	@BallsToTheWall - throw away your record collection, buy Owl City and give her a call. Or find a gf on here, dude.
Brokenjewel 03.17.10	BallsToTheWall: 'Can your vagina think?' Girl BTTW likes: 'No, of course not.' BallsToTheWall: 'Then I don't care what you think.' That should do it.
BallsToTheWall 03.17.10	Yah, not happening BrokenJewel but I might pick up a help book for dummies book or LOL e-harmony.
MUNGOLOID 03.17.10	or you can just go to a community college. tons of fi fis there.
Brylawski 03.17.10	Have you considered using a hooker? -brylawski
EnricoPalazzo 03.17.10	Music isn't that big a deal, find a girl that knows that.
MUNGOLOID 03.17.10	^yes to this.
BallsToTheWall 03.17.10	I do go to CC. Social problems class has a few possibilities but im kind of retarded in this area.
Brylawski 03.17.10	mongoloid: "if a girl can't share the same taste of music for you, what's the point? " so you're contradicting yourself bro
MUNGOLOID 03.17.10	not really. it can go both ways. it's cool to have a girl who loves the same kind of music as you do but then again, it's also cool when she doesn't give damn what you listen to. i just couldn't stand living with someone who is close minded and doesn't give new music any chance at all.
AggravatedYeti 03.17.10	sorry dude -- sometimes people are stupid : \| I just say it's my car, don't touch my music please. and then slap the shit out of them with a trout if they do.
Brokenjewel 03.17.10	Difference is key to a relationship; celebrate it, don't fight it.
BallsToTheWall 03.17.10	I am not looking for a clone but she has to at least show some individuality. Im emotionless about this girl because she from the past few weeks of knowing hasn't shown me much personality.
Brokenjewel 03.17.10	Onwards and upwards then, man.
PayneTiger777 03.17.10	Punch her in the ovaries with a carnivorous erection.
BSX 03.17.10	LOL Brokenjewel that "difference" ended mine Balls just listen to March
jesusjuice1179 03.17.10	space her
Brokenjewel 03.17.10	Did you fight it, man? You should have celebrated it.
BSX 03.17.10	Sometime I fought it, sometimes I celebrated it
Brokenjewel 03.17.10	Well there you go.
Jim 03.17.10	balls i'm pretty sure getting a horse would be the most badass option
BigTuna 03.17.10	Difference is important, but too much difference can kill a relationship. If you don't connect it doesn't work. Difference can only be celebrated for so long before it's w
BigTuna 03.17.10	shit. orthless.
fatlip27 03.17.10	My gf loves Justin Timberlake and Black Eyed Peas and that sort of crap. She finds Arcade Fire boring, but tolerable and mellow. I think she might be liking Thrice though, but it has to be post-Vheissu. She loves the song "Moving Mountains." Besides that, as I echo everybody's sentiments, if she don't like the music, she knows what the alternative is and I know her lazy ass isn't walking anywhere. The funniest thing she does is that when a song full of breakdowns starts playing, she'll start dancing to it. Ever since she youtubed "Hardcore dancing" she'll now start imitating the moves she saw on the internet: The windmill, the lawnmower, the double windmills, jumping jacks, punching towards the ground, and the like. Good stuff :)
BallsToTheWall 03.17.10	Caring about some random girls musical approval isn't important to me. It's just discouraging when you can't musically relate to anyone you're close too. Have to skip practically concerts because of this.
Brokenjewel 03.17.10	My girlfriend is a Britney fan, like you wouldn't even believe; and she hates every piece of music I adore. We get around it by savagely criticizing one another. I call her a 'starey-eyed retard, with all the refinement of a car accident.' She calls me 'a trumped up twat who thinks he's something special because he listens to mindless shit which everyone hates.' Romance is everything.
SeaAnemone 03.17.10	I got my girl into Bon Iver, Iron & Wine, Brand New, Explosions in the Sky, Northstar, Elliott Smith, Minus the Bear, Frightened Rabbit, The Weakerthans, Radiohead (Amnesiac is her fav album I think), Gaslight Anthem, and some others. many mixtapes to get there, but now she's actually really into a few of those more than me. ok just came to brag, later bros
Brokenjewel 03.17.10	I tried to get my gf into The Weakerthans (the singer sounds like the dude from New Found Glory, apparently) and Elliot Smith (who can't sing at all, apparently).
BigTuna 03.17.10	John K. Samson sounds nothing like New Found Glory.
BigTuna 03.17.10	My girl got ME into Bon Iver so fuck off Eric. Sweet brag.
Baphomet 03.17.10	I say get the horse. Whenever someone rides with me they have to put up with my music or get thrown out of the car in movement.
SeaAnemone 03.17.10	BigTuna > Me. you win dammit.
GnarlyShillelagh 03.17.10	lol at 8's description
BigTuna 03.17.10	Nooooooooo ilu
MUNGOLOID 03.17.10	yes if they don't like the music, they can just do the old "tuck n' roll." http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y7v_k4xSgyQ
TRMshadow 03.17.10	Same Deal, No matter what I play they either think I'm Gay (Dredg, Brand New, Sigur Ros, Mono, GY!BE) or that I'm some sodomystic Satanist (SYL, and almost any metal other than 'tallica)
Brokenjewel 03.17.10	Are you denying any sodomitic-satanic tendencies, then?
March_Of_Sand 03.17.10	A main thing that my friends say when there in the car is that every song sounds the same
BallsToTheWall 03.17.10	What good are friends, really?
Brokenjewel 03.17.10	No good at all. That was why the internet was invented, so we could all get the fuck away from each other.
sniper 03.17.10	Your friends suck at music :( Maybe I'm just lucky or something, but most of my friends would be cool with any of these albums.
sniper 03.17.10	My gf and I have wayyyy different tastes, but at least she's really open to stuff I listen to. I got her into EITS, Minus the Bear, Circa Survive, and most recently, even some Thrice and Envy. But the only thing we really completely agree on is Lady Gaga haha. But yeah, it sucks not being able to actually talk to people about music irl. I'm a music major, an I still never find people with my tastes in classes.
SeaAnemone 03.17.10	literally NONE of my friends, with the exception of my gf, like quality music. it could be the abundance of bros in my close circle of friends, who knows. even worse though is the fact that I work at a radio station and all anybody likes there is like The Strokes or RHCP or Motion City or things I like as a sophomore in high school. That's the primary reason I came to Sputnik... talking to ppl who listen to music.
Brokenjewel 03.17.10	Sputnik is a bit weird for me: suddenly these ultra-obscure records that me and a few other dudes like aren't quite as obscure. It's refreshing to be able to discuss it.
BallsToTheWall 03.17.10	Agreed. A really suprising number of you (appear to be) guys are taken. How do you balance sputnik with your old wives to talk shop?
Brokenjewel 03.17.10	I'm always writing essays and stuff anyway so I sit next to my gf as she watches the tv. I use her laptop and flick here when 16th century literature starts twisting my brain.
theacademy 03.17.10	i log into sputnik, where people are cultured and don't all just listen to radiohead.
EasternLight 03.17.10	i swear to god man i can relate. people suck at music.
Pizza 03.17.10	I just ride a bike everywhere now, it's more fun anyways.
sniper 03.17.10	Yeah, Sputnik is awesome that way. My friends listen to decent music but it's always me who gets them into everything. It's nice to not be the only one discovering new stuff haha. And as far as the gf goes, I just come on here when I'm not out with her. There's usually stuff to do irl haha.
Dryden 03.17.10	my brother is just a metalcore fan. Mind you that hes 7 years older then me and he gets scared of anything that isnt christian metalcore. so he fucks off pretty well.
BradMan 03.17.10	Whenever i have to ride with someone who plays music i can't stand, i use my mp3 player with my noise canceling headphones so i'm dead to the world.
Brokenjewel 03.17.10	I prefer Hindu metalcore
Dryden 03.17.10	you should try to convert him then
Deathcar 03.17.10	That sucks man. As others have said just tell your mates that they can listen to what you want, if it's your car. I'm pretty lucky, most of my friends have semi-decent music taste, though it can be abit generic metalcorey at times, but at least it's bearable. My girlfriend will listen to most things I like, have got her into Thrice, Brand New, At the Drive-In, Every Time I Die, Rage Against the Machine and (ultimate win) Opeth. Tbh, the only things she won't let me play when i'm with her are stuff "that's all screaming" like Converge, DEP, and most of my hardcore records.
