I love music. Most people enjoy it, at least to a point. In today's world, it is an universal unifier. People bond over music faster than nearly anything else. It seems to be one of the lowest common denominators.
What I find interesting is how wildly opinions range on the topic. Everything from what is better than what all the way to what even qualifies as music is wildly debated and there is never a winner. It all comes down to taste, in the end.
So when we find someone who has similar musical taste as ourselves, we tend to latch on to that person as a kindred spirit. I know I do. Of course, I have very odd musical taste when it comes to the stuff closest to my heart. (If you even know who Die Antewoord and Skindred are, you get like +100 points with me.)
I think what bothers me the most about this isn't the instant bonding. I actually think that that is pretty awesome. What bothers me are the people who disparage anyone who likes stuff they don't, or doesn't like stuff they do. It is ridiculous to expect everyone to have the same taste as ourselves. If they did, then the bonding with people that actually do would cease to be special anymore. So stop giving others a hard time about their musical taste. It's not nice. Even Beliebers.

I actually just tend to listen to all kinds and if it touches me or whatever I seek some more of the same, but let me tell you like I love nin but not all thier stuff I know there are die hard fans that will listen to some groups every song even if they don't like it. Man as long as you spent your money and support at least some of thier work they are happy
