Stupid musical statements that you can't fathom

CanwllCorfe · 12-28-2010, 10:16 PM

"Wasn't the original Sandstorm song like an hour long?" (Probably got some horrible bootleg made by DJTechnoHouseRaveTranceDance off of Limewire)

"I've been into Trance the longest. Lately I've actually started to get into Techno"
"oh1!!like basshunter??"

"How do you listen to that stuff. It's all bleeps and bloops."

Now that I really can't fathom.
I have a good friend of mine that just doesn't listen to music. Ever.
Completely puzzled me.

One of my teachers in high school couldn't listen to music because he has epilepsy. Epileptics have what they call an "aura" which is just a feeling or sign that a seizure is coming. It's different for everyone (some people see colors, some smell things, and some actually have intense euphoria). My teacher's auras were that he wold hear music playing in his head so if he ever listened to music his head wouldn't know whether it was real or an aura so he would work himself into a seizure anyway. He could NEVER listen to music. I don't know how I could live if that were me.

But you see, he has no condition that could inhibit him from listening to music. He just doesn't, it has no particular appeal to him.

Yeah, I figured...I just thought my teacher's condition was an interesting aside. But yeah your friend is weird as hell...I don't get not enjoying music. It's gotta say something about their personality and I doubt I could be friends with someone like that...

That's so weird. It reminds me of my supervisor at a job I had when I was a teenager who didn't like movies. The craziest part was we worked at a movie theater.

I know a couple of people who don't care about music at all.
My parents for instance. They listen to the radio, even if it plays crap, it's just radio one (newsradio with some music).
And then they look to programmes like Idols, The Voice of Holland, you get my drift. And they try to convince me that it's really interesting and that they have really nice songs.
If there's one thing I hate about my parents (and there's not so much to hate about them) it's the fact that they don't give a **** about music. I just can't stand that...
I really can't understand how people live without music.

the answer i get from 90% of the people when i ask "what kind of music do you like?"

"I listen to everything"

I think Conan mentioned this before but my default response is everything since I do actually try to sample every new genre or style I run across and it results in people I just meet probably thinking I have no musical knowledge at all.

Luckily my close friends know how obsessive I am and they are the first to mention how much music I listen to, so it all works out. I don't like to toot my own horn ya know.
