Do you talk to people about music IRL?

You and me live in two totally different worlds (obviously), but I've known people like that, and I can tell you that most of the people I've known that 'were' like that are either dead from drug/alcohol abuse, or have since grown up, started a family, and music is really the farthest thing on their minds.

The ones that were of the "Yeah! Slayer rules! Brittany Spears is a poser! Pop music ****ing sucks!" type. I subscribed to that montra at one time, but was always a little leary of that mindset, because in my mind some pop is really good, but I couldn't let on for fear of being ridiculed. Now days, I don't give a **** what anyone thinks of me. It's hard to discuss music with some of my friends because of the fact that their eyes glaze over when I start talking about what effects are being used, naming guitars being used, rhythm types, etc. who the artist was influenced by... ad nauseam.
