I don't know if this has been up before, but I just read the topic regarding this guy and his girlfriend complaining about him being "addicted" to TA and Trance music, and then something hit me.
I've been wondering about it a lot, but never seriously though, and it would be cool to hear you other guys comments and experiences of similar relationships where you and your partner have had different tastes for music.
Is it crucial to have somewhat similar tastes for music to be able to have a working relationship? Have you ever had any relationships where you and your partner had to separate just because of your different taste for differents styles of music?
Personally I don't know if I could live with a girl who wouldn't let me listen to my hardtrance/techtrance and instead I had to put up with her ty Westlife crap.
Of course you can do a little of both, but where do you draw the line? How much can you take of her music, and how much does she have to put up with your before any of you goes nuts?
The ideal thing is if you and your partner worked at different shifts, then you could listen to whatever you want and vice versa...and when you are finally together, hopefully you've missed eachother too much to think about such nonsense as trance :D. And if not, then you really need some help :D :tongue2
So...come on and gimmie all your experiences and thoughts... |

i think that last part you wrote sums it up for me. my girl friend doesn't like my style of music, but we still don't have any problems (i'm getting ready to move in soon so we'll see hehehe). she knows i love that crap and that i try and make stuff etc. but i also like her taste in music...just because i like trance doesn't mean that we both can't enjoy other artists like say DMB...she loves dave matthews and i can enjoy it...so really we don't have problems with it. of course my plan when i get out of school is to have my sound proof studio where i'll blast it all day long hehhee...
i guess that i don't see something as trivial as music preference (even in the case of seriously TA addiction hehhe) coming between me and someone i really love...thats just stupid. i mean i post on hear more then most people and thats not a problem either..why...because i post at work hehehe. |

Not at all. I listen to mostly Electronica and HipHop but my girlfriend isn't into those types of music. Her and her pop stuff:p. She hates rap but she never did tell me not to listen to it or else our relationship will not work out. Music shouldn't come between raltionship coz music is for relaxing and entertainment and everybody have it different when it comes to relaxing their body and entertainment. Just my 2 cents. |

| i have had some relationships where music wasnt important. once i dated a guy who goes to the same club as me every saturday which was great until we broke up). now i date a guy who is into drum and bass. i like dnb but it isnt really my scene. (i am more enveloped in the nyc house music scene, which is funny cause i dont care for house music all that much). for me it is easy cause i am tolerant of many types of music. and i tend to go out when i feel like it, so if my bf doesnt want to hear house on a saturday we can go do our own thing. when we are together we are usually not thinking about what kind of music is on. ;) |

boyfriend is a tranceaddict too :p
in fact he's the one that got me listening to trance in the first place. Before that i used to listen to alternative only (which i still listen to as well). Luckily for me he also likes alternative so we don't have any problems music-wise :tongue2 |

I dont have a girlfriend ATM, but i usualy pick someone up at a party...problem solved :D
But seriously, i consider myself pretty tolerant of different music stlyes (not all though, some i cant stand :D) and i never had a problem, that we would split up becouse of music :) |

| My last ex was all into the Top 40, boy band, chick groups, pop music and was not into trance or house at all, except for the very very odd song... that was just the beginning of our differences and I broke up with her 7 weeks ago :D Music is a huge thing, especially when the clubs are divided into the different types of music and you are torn between where to go, etc... |

| At first sight you would think that something as different taste in music is completely futile to break up about. But when you listen to trance non-stop, you try to dj and produce, it IS very important for that person. And if the partner cant at least 'appreciate' that music than I think there no chance there. I've had several girls that wouldn't match. It's just that I love trance and hate rap, d&b, hiphop, while those are the styles most girls are in to! |
