"ah rad, you like megadeth! i like megadeth! what have you had on repeat lately? for me it's been egg punk"

Not musical taste per se, but I think it’s valid to filter based on the prospects’ relationship to the artists they listen to.

The people that post celebrities getting married on their Instagram would be an immediate no-go for me, for example.

E: forgot about country. If you listen to country, ion fuck with you.

Kind of. They certainly don't have to align with my personal tastes, but there's a lot of music that I don't personally care for that I have a lot of respect for. If the girl likes very different stuff than I do, she can still have excellent taste and there is a lot to talk about musically. Maybe she can help me get into stuff that didn't initially hit for some reason, and expand my repertoire. If the girl has a godawful taste in music to where I have no respect for every artist she enjoys, she is probably not for me. This rarely happens to me though, usually it is basic taste at worst.

I mean I listen to a fuck ton of music, so if they have the same tastes as me that's definitely a plus. Actually wanting to go to a rave with me is kinda cool. And if they were hardcore into like modern country then that's a gigantic minus for me.

So yes, I absolutely would.

Dunno if it's exactly a filter but I still go to a lot of shows and it's not really fun to date someone who's not interested in going to the same shows as me.

I listen to mostly death metal and my wife is into musicals. Its really not an issue. I have gone with her to Book of Mormon (a musical), she has gone with me to metal shows... actually she used to get me back stage to several (she worked catering). Neither of us is going to choose to play the others music when we are by ourselves, but we can find a little common ground regardless.

So…maybe a little. Like, if they listen to octanecore or country, I will not have a good time with them controlling the car stereo. Same with tv. Tbh I do think similar tastes are somewhat important?

I'd just like to be able to put on something other than Sade on a date.

Its not the first "women bad" meme OP has posted.

This meme has text?

"My black is blacker than your black"

Plus, how can I remember the name of the song when the lyrics are basically the sound of two wolverines mating.

Yeah, why is her hand purple?

The whole picture looks bad, like an AI rendering from several years ago.

Because it reeks of sexism. The premise is that the person could be a poser (not knowing Megadeth songs), and this is applied mostly to women, especially when it's based on just wearing a t-shirt : a dude with a metal shirt leads to "cool, a fellow metalhead", a women with a metal shirt leads to "uh, is she a poser ?".

The conclusion of being extra-fair about confusing two major bands, just after being overly picky, also implies that you have a good reason to change your mindset, and this stinks of sexist implications too.

Metalhead girls get this question way too often. If it one day crosses your mind to ask it, please at least rephrase it so it's not accusatory. Just ask about their musical tastes or if they saw them live, like you would do with any one but not this fucking "name one song".

Its the high school level misogyny of 'women cant be fans' and its an overused 'joke'

Im going to guess because boobs.

Oh I can think of so many reasons to downvote this!

The whole "name 3 songs" thing is sexist, it's usually said to women in band shirts. It's boring and old.

It's had a shit filter applied to her face. I see the exact same face everywhere. She looks like a Barbie doll.

Why metal guys? Are they more shallow than the general population? I didn't know that was a stereotype and I've been to my share of metal festivals.

But that's nothing compared to the fact it's not very funny. It's Facebook tier humour. Haha men are blind when boobies are involved.

Or is it Diana?

From Dungeons of Drakkenheim!?
