Someone's insecure about his Shakira collection.

Seriously though, I'm guessing this guy either doesn't like music at all (I've known a few and they act like this) or got made fun of a lot for his music tastes in high school. It's a shame this guy is probably a walking insecurity.

Which is a great reason to unmatch him and move on.

I didn’t even know it was humanly possible to not like music at all. What were they like? Like their personalities? Did they seem sociopathic or were they generally “normal”?

[-] chandz05@lemmy.world 51 points 1 year ago

I used to not like music at all and 15 year old me would have probably responded just like this guy. But for me it was more that I didn't know what I liked until I heard it. Everyone around me exclusively listened to top 40 and RnB, or techno/house. I seriously thought there was something wrong with me cos I hated everything I heard. And then I heard metal for the first time, and everything changed.

that's a beautiful story that happened to me as well

horns up, mate

Nobody's normal, we are all weird in our own way.

[-] givesomefucks@lemmy.world 16 points 1 year ago

We're going to talk a lot about "normal" in this class, but "normal" just means average. If any one person was exactly "normal" in every aspect, they'd be the most unique human to ever live.

Apparently my great grandmother didn't like any music. And people in general. But of course this was in the gramophone era, so maybe she was just an audiophile and couldn't stand the quality..

[-] sudo@lemmy.fmhy.ml 5 points 1 year ago

If it were the latter she could have still enjoyed live performances (assuming those people were good musicians playing in a good venue) but yeah sounds like she just didn't like music. Which, to me, is crazy. When people say they don't really listen to or don't like music, I literally can't even imagine what that's like. There is so much diversity in music, especially now. Playing instruments has been a part of human history for at least 40,000 years and we've been singing as long as we've had vocal cords.

My father in law doesn't like music. He doesn't dislike it either, he's just indifferent. Apart from that he's just your garden variety somewhat-curmudgeonly 80-year-old dude.

[-] eochaid@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

There's a lot of good examples in the comments, but the few Ive ran into were more indifferent thsn anything - like, they never heard anything that appealed to them. One guy I knew actively avoided music because it'd get stuck in his head and drive him nuts.

They seemed normal otherwise, for the most part. But they knew that disliking music was weird and were a little insecute about it.

[-] SolarNialamide@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

I don't dislike music, but I do view it as something very situational. I only listen to music when I'm going somewhere by bike or foot or when I'm working out. I blame my 4 years of being a mail carrier for creating this 1 to 1 connection between moving and listening to music. I never put on music when I'm home. But I dislike 'background' anything in general. I've never in my life put on a movie, TV show or podcast as 'something to listen to in the background'. That's baffling to me. Music is the same I guess. If I'm home it's automatically background because I'm not gonna sit om my couch and stare at a wall while I listen to music. While if I'm working out or going somewhere I can intentionally listen.

early shakira songs in spanish are the bomb though, look up her mtv unplugged album

[-] instamat@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

ayooo whenever, wherever is 🔥🔥🔥 fr fr on god no cap fam

[-] eochaid@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Oh absolutely, no shade on Shakira at all. Just using her as an example of something a guy might be insecure about - which is of course, stupid. Don't be insecure about liking music, folks.

[-] Cannacheques@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

I used to share my music taste quite openly but these days not so much. Sharing stuff just gives some people more ammo to shoot you with when they want to try hold shit over your head

[-] dustyData@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago

You don't have a music taste problem, you have a social circle problem. Those people aren't your friends. Who, other than a kid in school, would willingly spend time with someone who “holds shit over your head”?

When that person is your parent. We don’t all get to choose nice and supporting families.

My mother would do that. I don’t tell her anything beyond how the weather is anymore.

[-] ParsnipWitch@feddit.de 3 points 1 year ago

Yeah this is like the people who would answer “radio” back in the day, when asked what their favourite music was ._.
