Taste in music says a lot about a person.

I'm pretty sure you're the only person I have ever encountered that has labelled psychedelic rock music as dull...

Being a pretentious git says a lot about a person as well

Pretty sure I wouldn't be the first person to think you're a bellend though.

If stating an opinion (be it standard or controversial) and backing it with facts, examples or comparable circumstance rather than "lol", or personal attacks makes me "pretentious" then shit, I'm the worst person in the world.

I'd like to see what facts you have to back up the claim 'taste in music says a lot about someone'

Everyone does seem to think you're a terrible person, I have seen you been called a bellend more times on this forum more than anyone else. I would have to agree with them to. You add nothing except insults, lol's stupid smily face things..

I don't get to nearly 7,000 posts on a music festival forum by wasting my time attending music festivals do I?

Righto, say you meet someone who is your age wearing a one direction t-shirt. Honestly would you be keen to engage with said person.

Obviously this won't apply to you but on the same token, If someone was walking about at a festival with a I hate the Beatles t-shirt on would you not think, what a bellend.

Someone is there with their friends to see the 1975, a group of people show up in Slayer t-shirts. Do they instantly make friends or do they look at each other and think..... probably not my sort of person

The t-shirt thing is only an example to get your opinions across in the real world, you could just go around telling people, it would have the same result

[Mokes]

I was going to say something more along the lines of:

5 people are in a room ones favourite band/singer is Arctic Monkeys, another is Parkway drive, another is Pavarotti, another is Lily Allen and the other is Miley Cyrus.

Knowing nothing else about the people, who would you assume would be the person you would like to talk to the most?

[Muzzy Izzet]

Music tastes are all opinions people, welcome to the 21st century.

I'd have a better conversation with the Pavarotti fan I think.

This really only works with plebby groups of people that only hang around with people who share their music taste, like those weird bunches of scene kids, and annoying as fuck wannabe mod kids.

I listen to Radiohead/The Cure/Depeche Mode, and half of my friends listen to Desolated/Cannibal Corpse, some of my my friends listen to Bastille/Jake Bugg; it really doesn't make any difference to your personality.

No Muzzy was the insult one, you're the one with the lol's and the 's.....

[Muzzy Izzet]

Guppy's got a Harry Styles vest, he's still seeing Libertines and Rolling Stones with me, judge him.

Sorry about that Mokes, I'm on the blob.

Whilst I don't deny that in some situations music taste can sometimes have an impact on your first impression of people, it certainly doesn't tell you a lot about someone's personality. A lot of my friends (yeah I have friends haha how did that happen?) like some of the shittiest music I've ever been exposed to, but that doesn't mean they're not great people.

Anyway, these are not facts they are scenarios.

Also, this:

Music tastes are all opinions people, welcome to the 21st century.

I wasn't talking to you I was talking to the user that said I went round insulting people (unless of course you are the same person?)

Haha i never said people were not entitled to their music tastes. People can like whatever the fuck they like.

All I said Is you can tell a lot by someones taste in music.

I think you're looking at this the wrong way. My 3 favourite acts are The Cure, Bowie & The Smiths. My best friend's 3 favourite groups at the minute are Rudimental, Plan B & Azaelia Banks... Our tastes in music does not mean we cannot be friends, but if people were to look at us they could definitely tell who has what taste in music before we speak.

Original point was you can tell alot about someone from their tastes in music. And you can. It's not necessarily a bad thing. Although everyone does have their guilty pleasures.

Bloody hell, how ridiculous

Shut the fuck up
