    Not all of them but the 95% of them that wear Pretty Green, have hair like Liam Gallagher, drink shite lager and piss in cups before launching them into the air at gigs. They probably don't listen to anything other than Oasis, Kasabian, Stone Roses, the Beatles and the Jam. Maybe they might branch out and listen to the Verve or Paul Weller.

        Did the other one ever catch up in the end? It's hard knowing other people whose tastes have not progressed as much as your own. If music taste was on a Top Trump, I'd have 100. You'd think that'd be great, and if life was Top Trumps, it would be. But life isn't Top Trumps and instead it's incredibly lonely.

      • in my experience,

        the people that tend to do this only care about albums that were well-recieved by a certain circle of critics (in that needy, seeking-validation-becase i'm-too-scared-to-have-contrasting-opinions way), and regard them as being the music people SHOULD like.

        i'd rather prefer someone telling me i'm an idiot because i don't like some band that they're really passionate about and have idolised for years than telling me i'm some sort of out of touch freak for not caring about whatever tim hecker's just put out.

      • Well, in the instances I've experienced it certainly is.

        I just didn't write my post very well.

        For instance, party I went to a while back. One of my mates friends was down for the weekend. I'd not met him before - really nice guy, so I'm not having a go at all. He had the full on Pretty Green ensemble - Liam Gallagher haircut, silk scarf, skin tight cords and chelsea boots.

        We chatted quite a bit and I can't remember why but we got onto music. He said that music is his main love - I asked what sort of stuff he liked, and he said 'everything really'. When I asked for specifics, every example he gave was of the same ilk, regardless what time period they were from.

        Same thing with loads of guys I know from back home. They've always been B-Boys, ever since we were at school. They sort of slap each other on the backs regularly for having such eclectic music tastes, but if you ask them what sort of stuff they like, the most diverse would be afro-beat.

        Well aware that I'm making myself look a cunt here, but it just annoys me. I don't dislike them for this fact, just think that I've got a far wider range of music in my collection, and have a far more eclectic taste in music - but don't proclaim it to anyone (except on threads like these, indirectly).

            Pretty conceited examples to be fair - I'm not expecting a load of this's from people.

            Just a couple of instances that have happened to me that have annoyed me a tad - like I say, I like the people and a lot of them are friends, certainly wouldn't get into an argument about it with them.

    • my 'fire of love' is a 220g record!

      I don't think they make 220g vinyl for non-bellends

  • Barrier people

    Y'know, the folk who rush to the front and stay there. Terrible sound, most bands look like shit, why bother? It's not really about 'the music' is it? It's about the iphone video and a dream of being fucked in the tour bus.

    Not to say I don't like to be down near the front of a gig, where it's always acceptable to dance, but right at the barrier is about the most cramped place in the room. Silly beggars.

    • i'm guessing you're tall

      CrispinAlexander @mfmcd57 | 1 May '13, 04:49 | X
      • Nope, pretty medium height

        As I say, 'most bands look like shit'. Who cares if you can't see the whole stage? If you're moving/jumping/dancing/staring at your shoes does it really matter? I just don't understand why people would go for somewhere with a better view but poorer acoustics rather than the other way around.

    THE SHOW'S OVER

  • Probably people who post on band forums tbh

    the ones follow bands around the country to see every show on the tour and all that. Proper scary people.

  • People who use the phrase "real music"

    particularly when commenting on Ed Sheeran or Jake Bugg vids on YouTube

    now my 2 dead best friends, THEY had taste in music. Really close to mine. And I hate most everything.

  • Folkies

    Usually self-satisfied bores who feel superior to every other music fan because "all music is folk music, essentially". Bollocks. Can't stand progression and can be found sitting on deckchairs eating a picnic right down by the front of the main stage at Cambridge Folk Festival.

    Usually come in the form of early-retired older couples whose kids have flown the nest. They would have renewed their marriage vows quite recently and will probably be looking at "doing up an old barn in the South of France".

    Usually pleasant people but don't become friends with them as they will suck you down into their world of bland genteel mediocrity where you find yourself buying a new Saab or Volvo every year and your wife becoming obsessed with cushions.

      conflating a few different types of people there. They sound like they deserve it though.
