| Does anyone else not really get mainstream music? I've never really liked much of the music that everyone around me likes and the stuff that I do like my friends have never heard of. I've even been teased about it sometimes. |

What would you consider to be mainstream music?

| I mean I like some of her stuff okay but I've never really been enough to call myself an actual fan of much. |

| I've never gotten main stream music much either. At least not most of it. In HS, they would talk about my "drug" music or just think it was plain weird. Where I used to work, they had alot of the same impressions.. |

Anything that you will hear on commercial broadcast FM Radio.
For the record, I dislike mainstream music myself, preferring instead a lot of regional /underground Rock and Roll`from the past 40 or so years. I grew up in the Punk Scene during the 80's and like that music, however, my tastes have broadened quite a bit from the standard generic hardcore.
Often, when I turn people on to what I'm listening to, they really like it.

Yeah I do that to. I just recently got a guy interested in the Zutons which no one around here has ever heard of. |

Yes, I don't really get mainstream music either. I find a lot of it to be shallow and pointless. Most of the music I listen to is outside the mainstream. I listen to a lot of obscure bands most people haven't heard of.

i know what you mean man, i think allot of people just dont care that much about music .... i know allot of my friends would still be listening to radio band 1a if i didnt give them other stuff
but when i hear allot of people talking about music i really wanna run up to them, start shaking them and shout 'expand your mind' ......... i wish i was a hippie

I have serious problem with "mainstream music". I find it, well, simple.
After listening a lot to music which is very complex music and/or very fast, regular music bores me. It's like me brain has been tuned-up to a higher standard.
But that's not the way it has always been. The first time I listened to Goa music for example, I was overwhelmed and couldn't grasp it. That was also my motivation for listening to it, and that's a feeling I'm trying to find again, but can't. So in a way I'm a music junkie, looking for new kicks. |
