Why don't you like my music? =/

Someone ever criticize you for the stuff you listen to? The stuff you watch? I`m sure that happens a lot here. With all the VGM and anime.

Ha, a few years ago my redneck friend Jerry heard me listening to some OverCLocked remixes and was like WTF ARE YOU LISTENING TO!? It`s odd sometimes that people that are just as into video games as us can be weirded out by the fact that some people dig the music.

Because, in prison, I missed music so much I was so damned happy to make a rock CD here last week. Took that fucker to the gym, had the owner put it in... Bam, for 72 solid minutes people were like WTF IS THIS? A few people liked it, but mostly the women wanted the volume lowered. Haha, fuck them. I can`t work out to Reggaeton and fucking trance music.

Most amazing jew boots

It's kind of strange actually. Although I pretty much just listen to VGM, I haven't gotten too many weird looks or "wtf are you listening to?" responses before (probably cause people don't really give a damn at my school, which is fine with me).

There was one time when I was listening to "One-winged Angel" (final boss music from FF7 in case you forgot), and despite having the volume turned down (was sitting in class, waiting for the class to start), and someone asked what I was listening to. But before I could answer it, someone else told him what it was, so I just kept on listening to it. I have to admit though, it does sound a little "strange" coming from headphones if you're not hearing it directly.

My sister-in-law sometimes mocks me about the music, but she doesn't mind it much either. She said that it's pretty relaxing to listen to most of the time.

When I was in the National Guard, I was sitting up on a hill with another soldier buddy of mine. I was playing my gameboy to kill the time at night, and he wanted to go to bed, but was having trouble sleeping, so he asked if he could listen to my MP3 player with all my VGM songs on it.

After a few days, he said that he liked listening to the music because it was relaxing (he was mostly listening to Suikoden 3 and Final Fantasy X).

For the most part, I don't care if people give me strange looks when they hear the music I like. Beats songs where they cuss every other word or super loud heavy metal where the guy probably has hearing problems by now with the volume turned up in a silent area.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

I get weird looks from people when I listen to death/black metal. Just about any kind of metal with growling or screaming vocals I get odd looks. Video game music, not so much. I know my dad likes to mock death metal, but quite frankly I don't care, I like to listen to it for reasons other than the vocals, and even then I do like the vocals.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

I get a lot of critisism for almost everything I listen to. From my friends that think metal is the best music ever, think listening to HIM, Radiohead, Rasmus, Dream Theater is ridiculous among many other bands.

My female friends hate Dream Theater, Symphony X, and..well any metal really because they just hear noise and 'gay' guys singing.

Sadly, it's always bad to tell me which music you dislike when people hang out with me. If someone hates a band that I like, that is mostly all I will listen to when they're around.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

I was listening to Captain Beefhart (safe as milk) in my room at uni, and my friend came in, looked at me, and asked 'what the hell is that???' Considering his favorite band is Bon Jovi I wasn't too surprised. I've yet to meet anyone with a similar taste in music to me. Everyone I know is either in to Corparate Rock, Heavy Metal or Trance. I've gave up hope of ever finding another protopunk, so I just put on my headphones and listen to some V.U.

I was speaking idiomatically.

Safe As Milk isn't even that out there. This guy would go crazy if he heard Lick My Decals Off, Baby.

That's what I hear when listening to HIM.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

It's ironic because my roommate was just telling a friend of mine, "I can't believe how different our tastes in music are!" -- to which I responded, "Well to be fair, I like all of your music, but you don't like mine."

Which is true. I like Mexican pop/rock. I like Enya and Enigma. And I like opera. I also happen to like Norwegian rock, symphonic metal and weird crap in German. So what. Personally, I think I have fantastic taste in music, and for a lot of stuff I like, if somebody says they don't like it, I'll accept it. I don't expect everyone to be able to take underground hip-hop/grunge opera German-Russian fusion like Parzival.

There's only a few groups that I feel are just *that* good that I really can't take somebody saying that it's not (depending on the person, of course... I have friends that only listen to emo-rock, and I don't expect them to actually like Kaizers Orchestra or anything of real quality).

Right now I had to find the right songs to convince a friend that Muse is most definitely not shit. Because I really think he should like them. He likes Kaizers Orchestra, so I was confident that I could get him to warm up to Muse. I succeeded.

Really, I just want somebody to go to SXSW showcases with .

Hey, I like HIM just as much as any other group. Valo has a nice voice. Sure, he could mix up the lyrical content now and then, but it's a great band for being mainstream.

Spoiler:

For the record, I liked them before damned Bam Margera whored himself out for them. It makes me quite sick.
