Looking through facebook...I'm just amazed by some of the shit I see. Like guys who favorite toby keith and taylor swift, lil wayne,god I can't even describe the crap. It's not that I want all my friends to listen to the same stuff as me. There's just some music that no self-respecting guy should listen to. Really really bad music.
I see this stuff and instantly write these people off.
Yeah I know how hipster and condescending this post sounds haha

The way I look at it, taste in music is how I can tell if people think for themselves. It doesn't have too be what I'm into but just something that they had to find for themselves not something that got burned into their collective consciousnesses. Its hard to take someone serious if they can't think for themselves.

As long as they're a cool person and aren't as narrow in their personal views, I can overlook it.

Yea it deff can be overlooked if you want to, but some of the time people interest in music can be so bad that I try to avoid the idiot completely. If the person has heard a wide range of decent music and they choose to like horrid music then its all on them. It's like growing up in an atheist family and then deciding to practice voodoo.

No, I can't. I'll treat them the same.. but not truly respect them. Like someone else says, it lets you know if they think for themselves.

If your opinion of someone or how much you respect them has to do with their music taste and not them as individual then you are the type of person I would never respect.

Yeah really, I don't give a shit what other people listen too. As long as I am not forced to listen to it a lot. I have friends and family with very different music taste than me, it does't bother me none.

I can; it's just very rare that I ever end up around people that don't enjoy a variety of music.
I just never really seem to click with people who don't appreciate anything beyond pop music, so respect never comes into play.
It's nothing personal; music is just a FUCKING HUGE part of my life, that somehow pretty much all of my friends or acquaintances also have....er....'more defined' musical tastes.

I think that the kind of music a person listens to directly reflects who they are as a person. I mean, maybe not true all the time, but usually when people like music like lil wayne and drake and all that bullshit I can immediately tell I won't get along with them. I don't think you should RESPECT someone less because of their taste in music, though...

hmmm, i dont really judge people based upon their taste in music, but if someone who i judge likes music that i like i big time.
some guy i know who is a HUGE hipster posted some lyrics from Black Hole Sun by Soundgarden on facebook the other day and all his hipster buddies 'liked' it and were talkin about how much they love soundgarden.
im not sure if ill ever be able to listen to soundgarden again. because my first reaction was "ive liked soundgarden for so long..." and then my second thought was "im a fucking hipster too for thinking that! nooooooooo"

it's the sum of the mans actions and his convictions that earn or lose my respect, I couldn't care less about his preference in music

it's OK, you will recover from this. hipsteritis, while debilitating, is not fatal and they're working on a cure
