I don't like it when I can take one look at a person and get a pretty good idea of what sort of music they like. When it comes to meeting new people, I would rather go into it not knowing anything about them, so that their own tastes (good or bad) don't overshadow the kind of person they are.

Yeah, that's true. Still makes me wonder "why" every time I see someone these days dressed in "punk" attire. Different times now. Different social climate. It can only be for image... not that it ever wasn't.

awesome thread, I love it... I'll be back later with my list, gotta run at the moment...

Thats the music snobbery equivolant of "I'm not racist, but...."

edit: actually no, its the eqivolant of "I cant be racist, im 1/8th Sri-Lankan"

besides, want to see my britney and m2m albums? hell, want to see my candlebox tapes? i had them way before i even liked sonic youth, let alone join the board.

ED: i also love doom goth bands like anathema, my dying bride, the gathering; i love big beat shit like prodigy, old chemical brothers, old fatboy slim, crystal method; i love folk metal, i love power metal (for comedy reasons), i love noise, i love country, i love radio hits from the 80's, i love joni mitchell, i love yes, i love animetal; i love a lot of unpc shit.

i'm done justifying myself.
