My music tastes getting heavier.

[Thecodfather]

This is probably me just being a little shy asshole but, recently I've noticed over the passed couple of months that I'm starting to like music I didn't like months ago, and I'm starting to stop liking music I liked months ago. It's like my taste is getting heavier and heavier. I don't care about that, I kinda enjoy it. I'm just confused at how to tell someone I like this and that music, because my music gets made fun of anyway for being heavy, so, yeah. Any help?

I was on a baseball team when I was thirteen listening to weird noise music like this stuff. Most of the people listened to radio music. Picture being friends with a bunch of jocks and you're listening to weird atonal music. Imagine showing one of them your crazy jazzcore and doom sludge metal albums. You learn to not give a shit about what people think. Music is music. If people don't get or like what you listen to, it doesn't matter. If someone is immature enough to stop being friends with you because you listen to something other than the herky jerky they listen to, they aren't a serious friend, because it shouldn't matter that much.

Let the music guide you to whatever path it wants to. Don't let assholes interfere.

"An artist is never ahead of his time but most people are far behind theirs." Say that to your friends when they question you. Get all philosophical on their ass, yo.

You're right. I'm retarded, thank ye.

I don't think you need help. I go through phases where I listen to different tastes. I guess it just comes down to your mood.

[Will Grigg's on Fire]

Music tastes change! I go through phases when I'm more into heavier stuff and then I go through phases when I'm into lighter stuff.
Dude... Don't give a shit about what your friends think!
I just don't bring up the music topic around the friends who don't appreciate my music and keep the music talk for my friends who like the same music as me.

Find more friends who like the same music as you... It is such a good common factor between friends! And those who criticize you? Fuck them. You don't criticize them for liking their shitty Justin Bieber and their Nicki Minaj crap do you? You have a right to like whatever music you want to like.

One of them said that All The Small Things by Blink 182 was an amazing song and I fucking rolf'd so fucking hard. :3

[Pipo]

Ugh. My music taste changed the most significantly around year eight. I was, honestly, a white sheep until then. I didn't like all the music, but I owned a ton of top 100 songs and such. I found this band called Nightwish, and that was the beginning of that. I had a metal phase, specifically symphonic power metal. Within Temptation, Epica, Sonata Arctica, HIM, etc. It's since changed, but that's when I started having issues with being different from other people. The depression hit the next year, though.

They're just always prying. Always looking for something to critique you on. I find it's better to be very vague and stay out of it, so people don't even know what you listen to. People would ask me what type of music I listen to, I just mumbled "a variety of stuff" and tried diligently to not get into the conversation.

Of course, when I did, they wouldn't know the band names anyway. It only got bad when I'd be listening to my iPod and someone confronted me about it. Like, I actually got a bit mad when someone was talking about Jason Derulo in journalism class. I couldn't stay out of it. Because I was ranting about Whatcha Say and how he couldn't even write his own chorus, they wanted to hear the original, and let's just say Imogen Heap a cappella isn't the most exciting thing to people who only listen to mainstream music. Could have been worse, but they still said a lot of shit about a great artist.

Nowadays, I don't have that problem though. When someone asks what I'm into, they're usually genuinely curious and not looking for fodder to bully me with.

I think this is really good advice if you don't want to get into it with people. Just be like "Meh I like all kinds of music" then change the subject.

I don't know if you have ever listened to the punk show with Mike Davies on BBC radio 1? Its on at midnight on a Wednesday. He plays quite a lot of hardcore and just decent sounding music you wouldn't normally hear on the radio. Check it out if you haven't already. And theres also the rock show with Daniel P Carter but i haven't listened to that in a while.

My music taste is completely different to the vast majority of all my friends. Who cares though. You like what you like, and you shouldn't have to try and pretend to not like the music you listen to just because of a few small minded idiots :P I find that most people don't care about what I listen to, they just accept it.

[Thecodfather]

They don't accept it, but I don't give a shit. It's not like it's screamo or anything -.- It's not like I have anything against screamo.

I'm in a similar situation with music. I normally get on with anything (I'm a big 70's and 80's fan) but modern music that I often here is not what I really get on with. However, there are some great songs that I hear often that are newish on the radio like "Little Talks". I am not influenced by what people listen to at school as much except a couple of friends music as it is more or less the same as mine. However, I do listen to music in other languages (I'm Multi-lingual) so then they do not appreciate the music I listen to and I get told I have bad music taste - but changes of music are normal :)
