I'm sure many people can relate to me here. There was a long time in my life where I didn't know what genre of music I liked.
Growing up I only heard what my parents, sisters, or what the radio had to play. I was surrounded by shit all my life. It was just hip-hop, country, and your occasional gay rock songs that became popular.
People would ask me if I listened to music and I honestly told them "I don't listen to music really." Then the reason why was that I simply just didn't like the music.
Now after so many years I found what music I like and found my favorite songs. Now when I play my music around my family they don't like my music -_- go figure. I had to deal with their shit my whole life and they can't handle it for 10 minutes...

Edited by Magiktako: 9/20/2015 5:56:36 AMI have the short end of the stick when it comes to music. I had nobody to show me the genres I listen to today except for myself. I have nobody to really share and collaborate about said genres, both family and friends. That said, if I were to meet someone who was very knowledgable on these genres, I'd look stupid because I only know so many songs, which my knowledge is limited to the fact that I don't have anyone to share with. I only progress when I go out of my own way to find new music, instead of learning it from others. I like other genres too, like grunge or alternative, but I don't get as crazy about it as other people, which makes me feel left out. Then they're blabbing about all these 'popular' people I should know, but I don't. It really does add on to the isolation in my mind and life.

What music do you like
-
If you listen to metal I am on your family's side

I can relate, Tribby. Like, one of the tracks on my playlist started and my grandmother literally said, "Okay, we're going to have to change the song. This sounds like the devil." Luckily though, I'm allowed to play most of my electronic music when they're around.

Anyone else expect something to do with the TV show?
-
Everybody has their own standards.

Hahaha yep. Same thing with my family. I don't like their music ; they don't like mine.
-
Same here, no one has an appreciation for the musical God that is Noisestorm, or the older Excision songs.
