| Have you ever driven someone away with music?

I almost wish there were more goth girls in kentucky. | |

Posted: 10/20/2007 6:10:09 PM | | Such a timely thread. I met somebody from here who's a musician. I feel closer to him than 90% of the men I've met in my life, simply because he's into random, obscure and semi-obscure musicians. I'm a bit more into him than he is into me (isn't that always the way, girls?), but I'm enjoying whatever we have now. I feel so joyous and so alive with that connection! The background music when I'm at his place is always on point and fits that very moment. I will never use the word "scripted", because he can't read my mind. However, it's spooky because I don't know him that well, yet when he puts something on, I'll be like "WHOA!!" All cool stuff. Lots of world music and acoustic. I WILL TAKE IT!!! I will never meet anyone like this in my life, but I've set the bar so high because of this musical connection (oh...and other things, too...most definitely), that I may be in for some major dating disappointments. | |

Posted: 10/21/2007 4:26:45 PM | I've got a very eclectic taste in music, I like almost anything and I seem to go through phases where I get crazy about one genre and have to play it for a few days straight. I've had a few people shy off after a 2-3 day go 'bout with Country.
On the flip side though, I'm really into lyrics and their meanings, and most of the time I can convey my feelings through a song better than I can with words and conversation. Any guy that can understand that, and comprehend what I mean when I say "listen to this song, tell me what you think" and come back with it and know why I like it at that moment in relation to whatever is going on in my life, is going to be a keeper for sure! | |

Posted: 10/22/2007 6:41:24 PM | Many years ago, a friend gave me a bunch of his cassette tapes.
One of them was a single of Chris Isaak's "Wicked Games" and the other side just played just the instrumentals and chorus (without Chris singing) of the same song.
I really liked the song and let it play in the cassette player in my car. You remember how cassette players worked in cars, played one side until its over and then played the other side (and repeated over and over again).
I would forget that tape was in the player and picked up the date. We just drove around talking with "Wicked Games" playing over and over in the background.
Things got real quiet when I took her home and she gave me the, "what a psycho" look. I never saw her again.
So funny thinking about it | |

Yeah! Viking Metal!
It may be a little too out there for most people...
That's why I get along with rockers and punk chicks... they're really hard to come by these days! Just not looking in the right spot.
Viking metal is more than just pointless noise. It's usually with a message of battles and heroic deeds. Man music, plain and simple... *laughs*
No, actually what's driven many a girl away... is it's style. Most of it's in a different language. You'd be surprised how many people won't listen to music they don't know the lyrics to. Another is the metal aspect. Lots of girls aren't into that kind of thing. To each their own I suppose. But here's a redeeming feature!
Viking metal is usually played with traditional instruments... fiddles, bagpipes, etc. Essentially, hardcore celtic music!
For examples look up on YouTube or something, the bands:
Ensiferum
Eluveitie
Turisas
Tyr
Korpiklaani
Finntroll
Moonsorrow
Equilibrium
Arkona
Just to name a few.
Like I said, it's edgy, hardcore... but you probably haven't heard anything like it! Certainly is different and not for the faint of heart. *smiles* | |

What's with these bands nowadays on the radio? My Chemical Romance? No thanks, I'll pass. Bring out ye olde death metal!
These days:
The Radio = Horrible. | |

Posted: 5/29/2008 12:33:51 PM | | People drive ME away with terrible music, I can appreciate talented singer/songwriters but damn, some of this new stuff comming out is offensive, like hearing a 3minute cry-fest about how some 30 year old emo band hates their parents for not accepting them. | |

Posted: 5/30/2008 12:20:34 AM | yeah, i've definitely done this... 3-4 times, i'd say... most of the time, i didn't much give a fork...
but there was one girl i really liked, ... unfortunately, she was just hardcore glam rock metal... i loathe it. Hating eachother's music is a major obstacle... it seldom works. | |

Posted: 5/30/2008 6:05:46 PM | If a guy was really into Madonna and that '80s technopop/dance-pop rubbish, I would  I love all kinds of music, except the above mentioned, which I do not qualify as "music." It can be referred to as noise, and you would be right | |

Posted: 5/30/2008 11:11:16 PM | I once had a black girlfriend who listened exclusively to mainstream "top 10" music stuff, hihop and fallout boy and so forth. I popped in Dark Side of the Moon and after about 45 seconds she says "What the hell are we listening to?" and pops it out.
I nearly broke up with her and kicked her out of my car on the spot.
I just wanted to say, "Listen, 20 years from now when nobody has a fucking clue who Fall Out Boy is, Dark side will STILL be in the top 50 selling CDs every week in the USA. "
It took twenty years for it to fall out of the top 10 | |

Yup same here. I dated a guy for about a year but we had such opposites in music, Im a rock/metal chick, he was into soul and RnB. He was a lovely guy, and I liked him very much but we clashed over music quite a bit!!
We broke up but stayed good friends, then as friends we decided to house share - he hated my loud music and was always moaning at me to turn it down. But wtf how can you have on rock/metal and not have it turned up to 11? lol
Still, he was a smashing bloke. | |

Posted: 6/12/2008 11:39:08 AM | | I was attracted to a woman where i work but she made flippant comments about the music i was listening to. I'm into black metal, goth and industrial, i know it has a limited appeal but i'm not about to like R&B or new country just to get into anyone's pants. | |

Posted: 6/12/2008 10:01:09 PM | | I think I've driven some people away simply because of the huge variety of music I listen to. For some reason, if you like listening to Type O Negative sometimes, then you're not supposed to also like listening to ABBA on occasion. Or if you enjoy Oingo Boingo, then you ought not to also like listening to Van Halen. Why should I censor my own musical taste to one genre or style? Good music is good music. What I enjoy listening to doesn't make me who I am. Is it a requirement that I must be a greasy-haired punk just because I like listening to Suicidal Tendencies from time to time, or do I have to be a stuffed-shirted geek just because I enjoy listening to Wagner when the mood strikes me? If I eliminate music that I enjoy from my life just because it doesn't fit with a certain stereotype, then I am not really true to myself. Yet, if I give myself free reign to enjoy music that I like, then people somehow, almost invariably, get turned off by something that I like. | |
