Do you talk to people about music IRL?

It's almost the same situation for me.
Basically, I convinced myself to make useless, shallow small-talk if I have to deal with people. Or let them talk.
The thing is, I can't believe how simple-thinking and narrow-minded people are around me, I don't want to deal with them.

Usually in school when I talk about music, nobody can relate to it. The only one who can is my music teacher, so doing presentations is nice at least.
At home I tried introducing my sister to various bands and genres, it didn't work out. Nowadays I don't even try anymore to speak to that human being.
My mom herself says "I don't understand enough about music to talk with you about it." Mostly she listens to my analyses but doesn't understand it.

So technically, the only people I talk about music are people on the internet. What bothers me is... why do you distinguish between people IRL and online?
People you meet online exist in this world, maybe they're not living in your country. There are time-zone differences, yes, but the time you spend online is real time.
The truth is, I appreciate people I know from the internet as much as those sitting next to me. Maybe even more, since I can talk about music with them.

The reason for the separation is because online you can focus find the people that you want to talk to and know that you will be able to hold a better conversation with them as opposed to people that you interact with on a daily basis where you have actually stare them in the face.

Saying IRL and online doesn't mean that online people aren't real.

Most of my friends dont really care much about music so i dont bother them with bands i found or whatever. Some of them might not even know i really like music haha and i couldnt care less tbh. Just like how some of my car friends wont try and talk about engines or sprockets or whatever car terms they like. We have plenty else in common that it doesnt matter at all. ive never lost or gained a friendship because of music taste and thats a positive thing i think

Also it doesnt mean theyre "simple-minded" jeez its just music.

There's a lot of misanthropes on this forum apparently. Since when does not sharing similar music taste equate to low intelligence?

DTMusic · 02-15-2014, 09:51 AM

Music is all I talk about(:

All the time, I usually ask people soon after I meet them of their a musician. Music is pretty much all I talk about honestly haha

It doesn't. ..But the bond between music lovers is completely different then two non music lovers, or one feind and a normal person...

Sharing music with someone is sharing a window into the soul. And if the other person cant relate to you what is the point in opening up..Music is a HUGE part of my make-up, its engrained in everything I do, and to not be able to share it with others and feel a connection through it is a godamn tragedy and a cryin motha****in shame....
