Liking music/bands you don't want to

Sign in to disble this ad
When I was growing up, probably around ten years old, I realised I didn't like listening to The Beatles. Not because I didn't like it, but because it was so infectious I couldn't help but like it. I hated it for that. Nowadays if it comes on the radio I'll usually change stations or put a CD on. Weird thing is its only The Beatles that got that reaction out of me.

Discussing this odd phenomena with my partner, she first took the angle of me being into rap/metal and that folk stuff not being compatible.

When I told her this started around the age of ten, before I discovered metal/rap, she asked me gently (I kid) to consider the options of my not being true to myself, and being a control freak wanting to filter my likes in such a way, to mould my image as it were.

She also said she didn't know anyone else who thought like that.

Anyone else find themselves in a similar position to mine? Please, let there be someone on TB that gets it. I still don't think I do

I sometimes feel like a massive dork because I like Alestorm (YouTube - ALESTORM - Keelhauled (Official)) but I don't dislike the band or the music for being fun to listen to.

What? I either like or don't like the music. Has nothing to do with a willful decision. That's as messed up as NOT liking stuff simply because it's popular (or unpopular, they're really the same thing). Why should anything other than the sound of the music and the lyrics color what I like or don't like?
