or something.

you know what! points mean prizers” SMASH TV!

ggood reocmmmendation. is the sum of what i want to say. ignore!

I could have simply said that people are different but where’s the fun in that? :P

You sound like the kind of person that consumed by meticulous detail. You think in maths, and this translates to an entirely bizarre taste in music – more than half of the bands you mention I have never heard of.

At first I thought you were just being snobbish about music, which a lot of, dare I say, pseudo-intellectuals are prone to being. However, I knew that first impression was flawed because deliberately liking obscure bands only because they are obscure, and denying oneself the wealth of good popular music, seems like a rather stupid thing to do. And you are quite obviously not stupid.

Instead, your brain is just wired to perceive the world differently. I’ve heard theories that people similar to yourself have particularly strong ‘male’ brains, but this sounds ridiculous to me. Instead I think perhaps you’re teetering on the brink of the Autistic spectrum. I don’t mean this in a derogatory way, I am very much pro neuro-diveristity. Another theory dictates that we are all on the ‘spectrum’, just at different ends of it.

Generally listening to stuff you like is best. It will never overlap 100% with someone else, and if it did it would be dull.

It doesn’t help that 95% of the music journalism I read is by people who have the same problem. Instead of conveying helpful information about an album, they fall back upon referencing obscure bands from the 1970s. Oh? It sounds just like this other thing I haven’t heard? That’s great.

Also: people disliking bands you thought they’d like? Dude, you are that person. Our musical tastes seem to overlap in several areas, but attempts at recommending songs have seemingly failed thus far. I assumed you were appreciating music on some higher intellectual level and I was just too stupid to know the difference.
