do you and yr friends have similar tastes in music?

[beth]

i was wondering this earlier basically because at the moment i am actively struggling to find people to go to gigs with (sob sob).

do you and yr friends share similar tastes in music? for me i would say no. when i was at school, i definitely did and it kind of defined our friendship group. we were all really into fall out boy and panic and the whole "emo" (trololol) scene there was back then, we used to go to gigs together and shop around in that music culture.

however over the years, the majority of my friends (minus a couple) have gone more mainstream and/or stopped enjoying music at all really, i suppose it's part of growing up but i have stayed more alternative than the rest of them and it really sucks when i wanna go to gigs or something cause they'd all rather go see jessie j sob sob.

i do have one friend though who still kinda listens to some music similar to me, but in more of a nostalgic way. whereas i listen to new artists from the "post-hardcore" genre she sticks to older bands as a way of staying young. brand new, lostprophets etc etc. and we can go to gigs together of bands she used to like but i still do (enter shikari woooo)

so yeah how about you?

irl they actually dont, but @Kasabian; likes similar to me except that **** enter shikari
feels like everyones into the new age stuff like justin bieber and katy perry and i think they're all horrible

[cocaine]

yeah similarly, i have a few friends who like heavier stuff, some that like generic rock (killers etc) that i could just about bear to see. but most of them like crappy pop music.

there's nothing wrong with enter shikari daveydot!!!!

and i agree with the "new-age" stuff, i enjoy pop too and some current songs i do really get into but it would seem all the majority of my friends do in terms of music now is click "top lists" on spotify and listen to the most popular songs on repeat

Me and my best friend have an insanely similar taste in music and have done for years. If I find a new band or a fabulous song, she's my person to go to and I must show her! We're always recommending each other music, and I don't think a day goes by where it doesn't pop up in our conversation. Me and my other friends don't share as similar a taste, but we all generally have a couple of bands in common, and two of my closest friends are very open and diverse when it comes to music, so we can really appreciate each others tastes in one way or another.

ish. all my friends (from home) love indie music which i hate, and my uni friends like some music that's similar to my tastes, but they generally also like indie, rock, metal etc. i suppose that's what i get for being the token in all my friendship groups.

my friends are far more into indie but generally we have similar sort of style of songs we like. Thankfully the majority of them love urban styles too yayyyy otherwise I couldn't stand it.

[Sharon]

um yeah we all like the same stuff, no one knows i luv kpop though, they'd probs find it weird

[kitten]

nope, not at all, they don't even know what i like..

[FlyingJesus]

Nope like 2 of my friends are into rap but one of them cares more about production and thinks West coast is better than East coast (what) and the other thinks Limp Bizkit are good (megawhat). One of my ex's listens to Something Corporate on occasion, no-one I know listens to Get Up Kids/Britney/Mariah/Hanson, couple of friends like trance but not in the same way that I do. Basically just no
