    Default Friends not getting it.

    Is there a band/artist that only you seem to really like, but your friends just don't get why?

    I normally listen to pretty alternative music, and so most of my friends don't really know any of my favourite artists (such as e.g. Rufus Wainwright, Kate Bush, M.I.A., Beirut, Antony and the Johnsons etc.) and I guess that's why they don't get why I like them: ..because they're not commonly known and the music is alternative and different.

    What about you?

    My friends only tend to discuss artists and genres that they like, which I also tend to like since I like pretty much anything, so the topic of something that I listen to or like being weird or questionable never really comes up. :p It might do if they ever look through my iPod or iTunes library, though.

    I'm a big 30 Seconds To Mars fan & my friends are not really too bothered with them. I saw them live last Friday and they were amazing live so now my friends complaints fall on deaf ears.

    In high school that was a fairly common occurance for me, but now it doesn't matter so much.

    (of course, anything besides country or rap was weird in high school xD)

    My local friends share my screamo/metal/electronica fixation, but not my J-pop fixation. As for my online friends, it's the other way around. I win and lose both ways.

    yeah most of my friends are like all into the metal scene and go to those kinds of shows and stuff like that. I used to be into that too, but now I'm into stuff like stuff like Of Montreal, Wolf Parade, Manitoba, TV on the Radio, Deerhunter, Hot Chip, ect.

    Well half of my friends love Rap, R&B, Pop, etc. all the stuff that is played on "popular" music stations.

    The other half like what I listen to, which is Classic Rock, Blues kind of stuff. With the ones that like rap, haha, it's basically them asking why I'm a rock guy half the time, and then out of all the girls, they ask me how I can listen to Led Zeppelin with "that guy's high annyoing screechy voice". Meh.
