that's the answer to a different question
It's the answer to a lot of questions
you
Can't decide between
robluvsnic & Loui_Tacceh
People who can't accept that their mates may like different music to them.
black metal nobs
I think that kind of thing belongs on the social board really.
This is the music board - no place for wanton vulgarity.

black metal snobs*
second wave > first wave
fvck off
white hip hop fans
people who like IDM
people who like guitar music
People more interested in the format things come on than the actual music
and elitist pricks who get excited by owning something 'exclusive'.
actual answer
dubstep people
Anyone not in to the mastodons
they're the worst kind of paleontologists too
Probably those who aren't "fans" at all
but are just indifferent. Passion is a beautiful thing in any guise.
Got to admire the passion of this guy
http://www.thisisthewestcountry.co.uk/news/devon_news/8885350.Pervert_caught_pleasuring_himself_in_slurry_for_third_time/
That's pretty cool,
just a shame that people (and a cow) have suffered because of it. That's not so cool.
I get the impression there is a lot of indifference amongst people here, and they use cynicism as a way to feel better about this.
Oasis fans
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.
Hahahaha, it's funny really, I thought last year there was a law we had to like those people
Especially if they had big sideys and won brum brum bikey races in France lol
Your mum
I once applied half-jokingly to join a band with that name..
... thank God I didn't as they seemed like the types of people who thought music began and ended with All The Small Things.
The ones who like music I don't like
Cunts one and all.
Ones who have stopped listening to new music.
Do you mean new bands?
Or New music to them?
Either really.
most of the lamestreamers on here
anybody who, upon hearing that you don't like something
makes it their life's mission to 'educate' you about them
i told someone to pipe down when doing this to a friend once
and he replied 'i understand his tastes haven't progressed as far as mine have yet, but i really do hope for his own sake that they do'
Your mate sounds pretty cool
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.
I wish everyone else would catch up :(
nar, my friend was the one that was being berated by someone with a superiority complex when it comes to TASTE
such personality trait ensures an INSTANT DISLIKE from me
no offence
3% of what I actually post is based in fact
That actually was entirely unnecessary there actually
did yer punch em?
especially if they're a fan of shitty 80s hair bands
like a lot of people who say that are wont to be
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.
'real' music fans wouldnt do that, guys. they're all about the music.
you don't like tim hecker?!
oh man, i can't believe that! he is so good and so important. you should immediately get yourself listening to harmony in ultraviolet. what he has done for programmed music is...
etc, etc.
I'm a bit like this when people say they don't like Prince
I'm never usually one of THOSE pricks, but... I mean, what the fuck is wrong with them? IT'S BLOODY PRINCE!
People who
1. Cannot accept it if a band changes their sound
2. Accept everything a band does, even if it is shit
3. Cannot accept that other people might not like the music they like
4. Think other people's music taste is rubbish just because it isn't to their own taste
5. Think their music taste defines them
People who like to think they only listen to 'interesting' or 'difficult' music.
Probably.
Ugly ones
The ones who don't really like music
the one's who do really like music
Them too
everyone who isn't me
oh god
the spoofer's remorse
Did you burn yourself on the stove fairly often as a child?
more like 'do I'
This a dangerous thread
Think I'll just be a spectator.
nobody is spared
thought I'd saunter back in a few hours later all 'oh you guyyys :D' but now I simply feel hollow, antagonistic and spiteful - everything I set this thread up against. WOE
It started off perfectly spoof happy and Social board-esque
Then TBO posted
anyone who doesn't like Ice-D
*Icey-Tea and Scoopy Scoopy Dog Dog
hey, you ruined my set-up!
Great thread
social boarders
them what like shit music and that
Based on the two times I've tried to see them
Foals fans to seem to be largely twats, unfortunately. (I'm not denying that I'm a twat myself, I'm just a different variety.)
That twunt that told me I'm not allowed to be a Knife fan
Dream Theater fans
+ Phish fans
people who aren't down
down with the thing.
People who aren't down
with the sickness
new fans who don't know shit outside of the singles.

people who just go off reviews
sometimes you can do that
especially if you've been reading them for years and you read a good aggregate of reviews.
good aggregate.
"I like a bit of everything, me"
People who think indie music begins and ends with Travis, Keane, Snow Patrol, Coldplay, Embrace etc..
Far worse than the Oasis/mod pseud Gallagher heads.
People who think indie music
People
He.

'djs' at actual events who just load up spotify or an ipod playlist
can't even do that live, let alone use serato
It'd be great if someone did this with a free account
Ads blaring between songs.
especially if they still have the hilarious Professor Green one
STOP LISTNIN TO MA MUSIC (after a track by Labradford) LEVEL CROSSINS BRUV
music 66journos99/bloggers/people who think their opinion is important or they have some sort of overarching viewpoint on the world of music and where they stand in it and where it's going
sean, basically
lol
sean isn't a music fan
serious answer, one that's not open to stuff they haven't heard
People who like Nickleback et al
And when you play them a song by Youthmovies or something say "Well, it doesn't do much." *RAGE*
My brother
Anyone over 30 that posts on a music forum
:(
Embrace it, my friends.
We are the worst.

Going strong
People who say that they're well into music and its their biggest
love - when what they really mean is:
I love hip hop ----Jazz-----drum and bass -------breaks ----------trip hop-------r&b
I love Mod music----60's rhythm and blues------northern soul-------the Jam-------
Basically they don't love all music. They love music that is part of the same family..
Drives me fucking crackers.
Music fans in their chart pop appreciation phase
Where they suddenly go off the principled, innovative music they've been listening to up til that point and act like they're doing something really clever by liking whatever every fucker and their mum is into because they heard it on a mobile phone advert. Normally coincides with getting a girl/boyfriend.
What's 'principled' music?
Music that makes your pork belly jump in the bin all by itself
I don't think people who say that they're well into music and it's their biggest love are saying that they love all music.
I think they're saying that they're well into music and it's their biggest love.
music is my first love
and it will be my last
music of the future
and music of the past
the music of the present is total shite though
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).
You didn't say anything about people professing to like "everything really"
Okay, my fault for not writing my post very well.
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.
^worst sort of music fan
Too obvious.
Are you serious?
That's one of the craziest posts I've ever seen if you are
My mum's best mate's brother only listens to people with the surname Bedingfield
mug_mug_mug
what bellend tagged the gun club?
^worst sort of music fan
by LOLpop's definition I'm some sort of monster
Yes, that's exactly right.
Thats what I said and meant everyone.
:D
STOP BULLYING ME
ADMINS! I'M BEING BULLIED
On DiS, nobody can hear you scream
because that's not how websites work
I love the internet.
And by that I mean I love every single site on the entire internet
Well thank fuck that is what you meant
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
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.
YOU CAN ALL GO HOME NOW
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
everyone I know
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.
I think you're
conflating a few different types of people there. They sound like they deserve it though.
excellently scathing
People at festivals
Vibey gits
The ones holding their iphones & ipads in the air, trained at the band, for the entire gig
