Music genres don't matter to me much, but playing a song to death will get under my skin. And so can individual songs. The first time I daydreamed about using a gun was after the millionth time I heard Achey Brakey heart played on the radio...and a couple of years or so ago I stopped listening to some pop stations as I got sick of Tik Tok (which was tolerable the first few times I heard it). Granny loves old country music but she and I both got angry listening to Coward of the County by Kenny Rogers and that song can still rile me up to this day (I've even thought of writing a song in response to it, maybe slipping it into a fic of mine). My cousin used to be a lot more versatile as a teen, he'd listen to Texas country as well as old classics like Hank Williams (and Hank Williams Jr.), but also AC/DC and Pantera (and he LOVED watching Beavis & Butt-head back then, I think he still watches it a little to this day), he even tried to teach me to "air dry" my hair by "bang your head" (thrashing hair around with wild head spins) to their song Cowboys From Hell like he did (I found it just gave me a headache, but given he wore his hair long while mine was boyishly short I probably got less result from it). Since then he's lost interest in the metal and anything but country (will listen to Southern Rock still, but hates what he calls "Disney Country" like Taylor Swift), but he's a big fan of Big & Rich which seems to blend various genres to me, including industrial! And I got some goths into country once. I was surprised when I encountered plenty who were praising Johnny Cash for doing a cover of Hurt and "made it his" as it was so well done (even Trent Reznor was blown away by it, IIRC), and I pointed out just how insanely depressing A LOT of country is, from Whiskey Lullaby to Mountain Angel (she not only fell from the heights to live in misery but came back as a tormented ghost after!) and they were grudgingly impressed by it as it's bleaker than a lot of haunting darkwave or Metallica songs such as Fade to Black or Unforgiven. I'm amazed people DRINK to songs like that!  IP: Logged |

Everything has a value. I had a gf who sang and it was her life to her.
Be specific then. But in the sense that you mean, yes I could if not extreme. IP: Logged |

Why are people discussing music genres, I don't see how a difference in music tastes really amounts to much in relationships.I guess I should say core values. IP: Logged |

I think K was joking and even if not all anyone has to do is look a little earlier in this thread and see that I don't. My ex-wife, a person who I married listened to country. LOL So no argument there. 
The ex who sang. I could hardly stand what she sang but to this day I've never been anything but supportive. (we're still friends 7 years later)
I'm not bothered however it was meant. I took it as a joke but if not then trying to get a rise out of me which would be funny also. Not this time. LOL
Sooooooo...... Moving on. Next.  IP: Logged |

Conversations change, K. It happens all over this site. Just set us straight but don't be insulting about it. Give an example from your life maybe.
I'm just saying is all, not trying to be argumentative. What did you have in mind exactly? People do value things that others may not value at all to the point that they've never given it thought. IP: Logged |

Well I didn't bother to read your post but I guess you can't stand country music which is your own prerogative.
I don't really care.
In general things like that are trivial to most people.I was really asking about core values for example cultural or religious.
Most of the time people find others who share the same core values as them. IP: Logged |

I wasn't the only or first to mention music you just thought it would be awesome to single me out. LOL
Pluto conjunct asc at work again for me. But anyway. I have. Example, that same gf that sang? She sang in Christian churches and I wasn't Christian. No kidding! It's true! At two churches in small towns and some other functions. LOL Okay I'll shut up and let you get this back on track. My little brain isn't important to you which is a-okay by me.  IP: Logged |

When I read the replies I thought I got op's question wrong I have NO issues with a man who has different taste in music or likes different kinds of foods or likes to walk bare feet in the house whatever rocks his boat is fine with me with regards to stuff he likes to do. That's what makes a relationship exciting and fun, because I would definitely try to know him and I will try to do things that he likes ( as long as he shows me the same courtesy towards me of course!) But if the guy doesn't share the same core values as me, then it's a no-no, it won't matter if he likes the same music/food/hobbies. It just won't matter. IP: Logged |

Okay I get it now, Kero, thanks. I would have a very difficult time being with someone who didn't share my core values, anyone would. I could be friends with someone who did not, maybe, if they were willing, but I could not be in a serious relationship like a marriage.IP: Logged |

I don't think so although I'm really interested in hearing about how long people with different values last together. I have a Taurus moon so my values, whatever they are, are very important to me. What if someone's values opposed mine? How am I, someone who wants to try to practice what I preach, supposed to accommodate that? IP: Logged |

TBH I just don't see how people with different values can be together. Take two people who want to be in a relationship. One values commitment and marriage, monogamy. The other values open marriage with each seeing whomever they want/ complete freedom. Can these two people really have a lasting relationship with such opposing values?IP: Logged |

I think if you can respect each other and not force your beliefs on one other it could work!
That's rare too, because people can be passionate about them.
Yeah most people look for others who are likewise ...On the flip side someone who feel unsure of their beliefs and values may feel threatened. Personally I've always been open minded, and I can absorb the good in any philosophy, but I'm really detached from it all.
for example I would totally visit this church because the pastor's personality amuses me.. so far.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PSJt-LHMNRY ok maybe not... IP: Logged |

I replied to your original query assuming you meant core values, not personal tastes.
My reply was NO.
However I would also have trouble being with someone whose personal tastes, like music for example, were distasteful to me.
Or hated cats, or silence, or loved the city and hated the country or forests........and so forth.
So not only would core values have to be the same, but likes and dislikes would also matter to me.
I hope I made sense.IP: Logged |
