Do you get upset when someone doesn't like your favourites?

No it's down to personal taste. It doesn't upset me when others say that they don't like my favourite artists. It would be dull if we all liked the same things.

There are a few FMs who refuse to let it go when others don't like the same artists. It's sad really.

Not really, just resigned to the fact that people are allowed to have their own opinions and different tastes. What does annoy me is when people criticise musicians I like or get their facts wrong about them though.

Doesn't bother me in the slightest.

Although it's fairly rare than I find anyone else who has even heard of my favourite artists, let alone know enough about them to actually dislike them.

I think it's silly to get upset about it, but it does annoys me a bit when people ridicule the music I listen to or say how awful it is rather than just saying they don't like it or it isn't their kind of thing. I get this a lot since I listen to a lot of different genres and some relatively obscure artists who are often dismissed immediately by some people just because they're not selling millions of albums and not everyone in the street knows their name. The inverse is true as well though, some people criticise my love of pop music because it is considered shallow entertainment or not 'real' music and so on.

Doesn't bother me, people have different tastes.

I don't like ignorance, however. If someone wants to tell me Metallica is "just noise", or that they don't like Guns N' Roses because they're "glam rock", expect an argument to ensue.

Haven't ever heard Guns N' Roses be referred to as glam rock but a fair bit of Metallica's stuff is just noise They do, however, also perform some absolutely stunning not noise music as well.

None of Metallica's stuff can be described as 'just noise', because it is all written in key, in time and even their heaviest material can be quite melodic as well.

If you want to hear 'just noise', try listening to Pig Destroyer

I don't get upset when people don't like my music. I do, however, get upset when people think I am weird for what I like. It happens more than you might think.

Most DS threads would not go on indefinitely with squabbles if the answer was 'no'.




Seriously though, I don't get "upset" when people simply don't like them and respectfully say so, it's when ignorant statements are made or sweeping judgements that go way beyond just "opinion" that get me annoyed. :sleep:

Everyone is entitled to like whatever music they like. It's just soundwaves at the end of the day.

What DOES annoy me is willfully bad, ignorant or stupid music journalism and criticism. I can't believe the influence some of these people have had on music and popular culture generally, when they are really just people who are getting paid to express an opinion and they are often way out of line with what people actually like.

I don't listen to any reviewers because I prefer to make up my own mind. It is amazing how many people won't even listen to an album because some git they never met said it was crap. It's not just music either as games, movies, TV shows all fall victim to the same ignorance.

No people have differing tastes and opinions.

It doesn't bother me, but it does annoy me when they absolutely slate them when they either haven't given them a proper go (or one at all), or they just hate them because it's the 'in' thing.

I don't mind if people don't like what I like (and in fairness, most people don't like a lot of my music ).

But I mind when people judge me for being a fan of a certain artist or type of music (or just judge those fans in general). Or when they discount my opinion on any type of music because I like a certain artist.

No, just as long as they're reasonable about it.

I've encountered manys a "music fan" who had opposing taste in music to me and were persistent in telling me how I had a shit taste in music, which is ridiculous. I by no means find my favourite artists to be "better" than others, it's just their music is more to my taste. It annoys me when people don't see that.

Music snobbery does my head in.

Everyone has different tastes. As long as they can sing/rap/sing heavy metal etc properly, I'm not bothered. All the musical artists out there wouldn't get their album sold if we all liked the same thing.

Alright, I am convinced that I posted a non-threatening comment in this thread earlier that got a few replies, and now it's gone. Am I going crazy?

One thing that annoys me within the industry is plagiarism... not plagiarism itself, but the world seems to be often outraged when you take inspiration from other artists.


It's like you may aswell tell the whole world to put down their guitars and stop because everything has already been done

Music is a personal thing for everyone..We all have personal memories or emotions that we associate with certain songs or albums..i dont like liver but i wouldnt get mad or judge someone becuase they do happen to like it.
The world would be a boring place if everyone liked the same thing
