Is music made to judge people on?

The way to spot someone who doesn't like music is someone who claims to like "all music", but don't confuse it with a variety. I like a variety, indie, pop, rock etc, it depends on moods and atmospheres however "liking all music" just means they never listen to music and don't appreciate good music.

In those respects I find it a reliable way to judge people, however determining what someone's like because of a genre is surprisingly difficult and is just stereotyping.

speaking of when asked what music you like, i never know what to say. if i say 'rock', i'll be classified with them people who just love red hot chilis and foo fighters, but if i say 'indie' it makes me sound like an idiot. or that i love bands like franz ferdinand.

same, because i basically have a genre ocd, i get quite picky about genres, but i can never say what i like in front of people. I end up saying it's like metal, and people probably go away thinking i like ******** like machine head

i usually just say "independent music and hip hop," but even thats pretty narrow.

She actually has even worse music taste than you lol I don't think I could be friends with her if she didn't like Monopoly

You could get independant black metal though and god knows how awful that would be lol


I do judge people for their music tastes, which doesn't do me much good as most people have a very different taste from me. I'm not one who actually tries to get into obscure music so I can be pretentious about it, just most of my friends are too white middle class suburban to even know who Nas is let alone Az, Esham, Slick Rick, Jadakiss, Beanie Sigel and other such negro gentlemen, and literally only like 4 people outside the Southern states enjoy country music.
