Why do people loathe my music taste so much? Am I an alien?

But yeah I don't know a whole lot about electronic and industrial music yet but I know I love stuff like this:


What Industrial Metal and Psytrance acts do you like, other than Psyclon Nine?


Hmm well I am not sure all these necessarily fit in those categories but
Deathstars
Combichrist
Reefer Decree
Dawn Of Ashes

But yeah there are a lot I've heard on last.fm but I'd have to look at my music history to see what their called. I only recently really got intrested in this sort of music so I'm still trying to find more bands in those genres.

Those bands are all in the Industrial genre I think (more precisely EBM). I think Deathstars is more in the metal area and can be classified as Industrial Metal. So far as my limited genre-guessing skills can go.


Yeah that makes sense, lol if they these where all metal bands then I could easily categorize them...but I'm not that good with electronic/industrial types of music yet.

I personally don't know anyone who even slightly shares my music taste or even can bear listening to it without complaining about it except one of my friends. They all think it's horrible eardrum raping noise while I personally think it's not. To me this music is calming and satisfying funnily enough. I don't get it, at all. People generally think I'm nuts or drugged up, high on coke and other drugs. While I actually have never taken any drugs at all in my entire life. Yet I am addicted to this music that people seem to associate to drugs, violence and insanity. Nah I don't get it, at all. I feel left out by it. I can't even play it anywhere without getting people all over me asking me to turn it off, not turning it down, but just turn it off, because it doesn't even sound pleasant to them if it's playing on a quiet volume.

This is my youtube-profile which I've stacked with music I like:

Here's a rough last-fm compilation image of the genres I listen to:

If anyone feels like they're in the same position or have the same taste as me, PM me!

I wouldn't have thought you mind your taste in music being different. It had always seemed to me like you're content with it. Maybe it's a confidence issue, rather than issue with music?

And BTW, I seem to be into drugs from my interests too, I was even suspected to have HIV when I got admitted to a mental hospital and talked about my interests, before my sister told them 'no way'. :lol:

That was odd.

Definitely not an alien. I don't know electronic bands too well, but I do listen to quite a bit of it.

I know what you mean, though. I get plenty of blank stares, looks of confusion, and even some out-right disgust when I talk about electronic music. People don't expect it from me, I suppose, and not many people I know listen to as much of it as I do.

... my brother in-law once told me Dubstep was a band. I was all :? and left it at that. He was sooooo sure.

I don't really care if people think I use drugs based on my music.....I mean I do, so its not something I'm not aware of. But it is kind of a ridiculous assumption to assert, I mean why would they even care is my question and why would someone need drugs to enjoy the music they like?

Why do people even need drugs to enjoy this music? Drugs enhance the experience but they are not a requirement to enjoy this type of music. That's like saying "I need laxatives, otherwise I can't poop".

Well they certainly can enhance the experience of music, but I can still enjoy music totally sober.....but sometimes it's because it makes me feel certain ways. Like if I have to clean I listen to music that makes me more energetic if I want to relax I listen to relaxing music ect.

Laxatives are drugs aren't they, though I think there are things with funner effects than making one poop.

Although, if someone needs laxatives, then they probably can't poop. :lol:

Yeah, I remember on another forum I used to post on I had someone say "There's no way you can listen to so much doom metal and not smoke at least a little weed." Though if it was legal/more readily available I probably would smoke it, but even without it, I still enjoy the music anyway.

At least laxatives are cheaper than both weed and hard-drugs. :D

Unless you live in Constipatistan.
