As I say, I don't really count, as everyone thinks my music taste is up my arse anyway.
If they feel attacked or stop enjoying an artist because an artist they enjoy isn't enjoyed by others, that just means that they lack the confidence to make decisions for themselves. **** those people is what I'm saying. Take it in stride like OH does with the beagles.

It was more a case of "Now, why do I hate these guys?" rather than "Will I like them?" Not sure if anyone else does that, maybe it's just me. Same with Nickelback. I retain my interest in Coldplay though: AROBTTH is still a great album.

I only go into albums with expectations like that if they're pretty much universally acclaimed, so this really isn't an issue for me. Even when I'm checking an album out to see what all the hate is about, I try to approach it with a clean slate.

That's interesting. I definitely went into the Dragonforce with the intention of finding out what all the hatred was about. For a few tracks I was kind of, well, I don't see it. Then it hit me. Then I knew. Then I was .... reborn.

A lot of things I've listened to has turned heads from people I hang out with. Most of the time it's artists they are predetermined to hate because of living up to a stereotype or peer pressure.'Oh, I"m a stereotypical goth, I'm not aloud to appreciate anything with mainstream appeal' Like Elphenor acting apologetic when he likes a song that is poppy. And he does that. I've seen it in plug. It's like, great, you all boxed yourselves into a label and sheepishly follow these rules that make you a predictable pawn for marketing. Don't hate on me for liking artists out side of the box you guys try to put me in especially when I know for a fact you have never given these artist a fair listen because of your perception and self induced box. Remember folks, the best slave is a willing slave and that's what these cultural identities, religions and political parties are creating.

Edit: And I have such an unintentionally narrow taste compared to a lot of people here, too. I bet a lot you deal with this much more than I do.

I was supposed to grow out of Circa Survive, Fall of Troy, mewithoutyou, and TTNG...

Never did. Still love them although Circa hasn't released a decent album in f*cking years.

Oh yes, I'm not supposed to like Slipknot, Lil Uzi Vert, Kanye West, Twiztid, Childish Gambino, XXXTentacion, Tech N9ne, Travi$ Scott or Desiigner depending on who I'm hanging out with. Back in the day it was definitely ICP.

Not as often as I make analogies that support my point even though I know that they're very weak forms of evidence.
