I think someone who is into some of the harsh heavy metal must have some things going on, compared to someone who listen to really spacey stuff.

I bet one can find patterns.

i'm not into lyrics so much. also how awesome a guitar player is. i wouldn't/ don't understand how hard it is to pull of some of those melodies.

i'd say i'm more into spacey music than heavy metal.

umm.. dunno where it comes from taurus sun, leo moon, scorpio asc.

Also, there is actually a beauty to some "noise" and it can be very complex and takes skilled musicians. Then again, some people do not get free jazz either and I can understand most people just need the conventional 2-3 minute pop songs. But I personally get easily bored of that stuff.

I love "indie music" (as vague as that is) but the fans are often pricks ... But I can separate the two because some of the music is very good.

I just judge the music by its own merits, no need to go to the concerts.

I can appreciate some of the music just a lot of was b.s I felt lol My first concert was the Horrors and the kill quite hipsterish my favorite was Hole which or sorta mainstream not by todays standards like gaga or something and I also saw the Black lips which were fun but the worst was this thing was in a historic artsy fraternity the psychdelic slide show was cool...

I'd add, yah, most bands can't "choose" their fans. If I were to form a band I'd be underground to have a better chance of integrity and ownership of my music, but would be like "damn pretentious hipsters" under my breath but wouldn't outright tell them off. But that's probably who I'd attract..oh well.

2. I wouldn't exactly call noise music.."**** ", it is just musicians doing something different instead of the same tired formula. Not for everyones ears but I figure my ears (and taste palette for that matter) are ..like really evolved or at least differently evolved. I would say these guys, musically are more talented than most mainstream, they just choose to go way out in left field with the talent:

Seeing bands live is over rated IMO.

You are usually stuck way back, behind some tall dude

$5+ drinks, 16 ounces or less
$50+ tics, triple digits if they are famous
2-3 hours tops..maybe 4.
No memory (as cameras are often not allowed)

Lol this is pretty accurate. I only enjoy classical because I have played the piano for 20 years. But I mostly listen to punk and/or indie music.

I like all sorts of things. I took that quiz and got:
26 % 26 % enjoys reflective and complex music
92 % 92 % enjoys edgy and aggressive music
19 % 19 % enjoys fun and simple music
75 % 75 % enjoys energetic and upbeat music

Which isn't exactly accurate because I do like reflective/complex music, I just f*cking hate jazz. M83 is my favorite act right now and I would say he's immensely reflective/complex.

I don't really like "simple" music. Like most indie pop is really boring to me (like Matt & Kim is the first thing that comes to mind when I think "BORING"). When I was younger I hated punk music because it was too simple, but I've grown to love it because of the lyrics.

Anyway, here are my favorite bands/artists:
M83, Beach House, Bjork, The Knife/Fever Ray, Saves the Day, Daft Punk, Blood Brothers, Circle Takes the Square, Converge & Jenny Lewis (also Justin Bieber).

See, it's all over the place.

Here's also my last.fm: http://last.fm/user/greyleng

I'm an Aqua Sun/Mercury with a Pisces Venus, Libra Moon, Gem Rising.

Some screamo is really good, though. Like Circle Takes the Square (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UEV6V5tSuDI), Orchid, Saetia, Suis La Lune, La Quiete, Funeral Diner, Pg 99, etc.
