I actually like a bit of everything, some rock songs i like, some soul songs i like etc....
Everyone has different tastes. But i understand that hearing mainstream music so much can get sickening.

LOL! I am the same! I like a lot fo Rock as well, even heavy metal! So I will give any type of music a chance!

Mainstream, is only mainstream when you are into it. YOure going out most nights, your frineds are way into the music! Thast what makes main stream.

True musical good taste is appreciating the best in all musical genres. Some seem closed off to some genres completely. Their loss.

Exactly! I can appreciate music that I dont even understand the lyrics to (maybe its in a different language).
Some people are very into lyrics, and thats fair enough, to find that very important of course.
I do like some songs because of their lyrics, but there are others that I dont care about the lyrics whatsoever!

I listen to Heidi Montag, Britney, Rihanna, PCD. My music taste sucks. Yay.

What? i don't get what you mean?

One thing that annoys me is people thinking their artist is the best in the WHOLE ENTIRE WORLD. Yes they're your favourite band(or singer),you think they're amazing but that doesn't mean they are. I love Take That and I do think they deserve the recogintion they get but I don't go around saying they're better than The Beatles or Queen or whoever cos I'm not ignorant to what is better. Yes there's personal taste,but there's just general common music sense as well. And for people who don't want to look further for music,well it's you whose missing out.

I know, right. Just enjoy who you enjoy. Its all subjective anyhow so there's no right or wrong. It's just what you connect with.

There are no good or bad music tastes, but there are uninformed music tastes. And when the majority, no, the entirety, of what you listen to had been shortlisted and decided rather handily by The X Factor and BBC Radio 1, that's sad.

yeah, this.

Yeah, no such thing as bad genres - just bad artists. Some of the pop kids think metal is scary and all that nonsense, and some of the metal kids have a complete disdain for black music genres.

Take a look at yourself. Your basically guilty of what your fighting against here.

[James]

Pop music is basically a form of entertainment. I don't get why people take what others find entertaining so seriously and criticise them for it. It's not like it matters, does it?

As long as you see it as a form of entertainment that's fine, but some people here thrive off it based purely on ignorace and slam others music tastes in the process. Bringing up pop is a red herring. Pop isn't the problem, the disease of ignorance is.

When you say an artist is better purely because they have sold more records, then yes, you are suffering from this disease.

If you want to like pop as entertainment, fine. I like pop. But don't go saying people like Britney Spears and Jedward have artistic merit, because they don't. That's not a matter of opinion, it's a matter of fact.

They are entertainers, not artists.

That's my view on the matter too.

[MrGaryy]

Because some people have really **** taste in music.

[30stone]

I like the music i like.

I really dont care what anyone says on here.

I like it because it sounds good and is catchy, i really dont care much for music...

People like different things and there are a few members on here that are just so annoying when it comes to stuff like this.

Who are you to judge what defines a "good" music taste? Argh.

Probably the only thing we are likely to agree on!

But there are one or two music snobs on here - who think that their taste is superior and above reproach - when others think it is a load of old tosh!
