How much does someone's taste in music affect your opinion of them?

I always judge people on what type of music they like moreso than any other character trait. I used to be a dick a rag on everyone's taste in music if I deemed it bad but now as long as they have the capacity to like good music they are alright with me.

For example someone could be the nicest/coolest person in the world but if they like Blood on the Dance Floor or My Chemical Romance or some shite then they might as well be Hitler to me.

Meh.

I work in East Austin with a bunch of hipsters...we don't have the same taste in music but they are all still great people.

My close friends, however, have pretty much the same taste as I and we go to shows together and stuff. That doesn't mean I don't like people with a different taste in music. I just wouldn't invite them to be my +1.

I generally like someone less if they have the same taste in music as me.

I appreciate all genres of music. It's the people who only listen to one genre and never move out of that zone that I find odd.

If I notice someone is into strictly main stream music (i have lots of friends like this), ill never take them seriously when it comes to music, but that's doesn't make me frown upon them as a person.

If I did that -- judge people on the basis of their taste in music, movies, etc -- I'd have no friends.

People with my taste in music are invariably pretentious assholes

I used to judge people based on their taste in music, then I grew the frick up.

A good bit. Although I studied piano theory for years and play a few instruments. I can tolerate mainstream stuff but I prefer more thought out music. The pop thing deserves respect from a producer and engineering pov, making this stuff sound so good and be so catchy takes talent regardless if it's in Gmaj. That being said a drunk girl on a boat cranked up call me maybe excruciatingly loud one time and I hit her in the face with a red starburst.

Seems silly

Go eat at a restaurant with someone and see how they treat the people serving them

That tells you everything you need to know

I moved down for college at LSU from Connecticut in 2005. Since that day I have met one (1) person who likes the Grateful Dead.

I've introduced them to people who ended up liking them a little, but literally met one (1) deadhead since I've been down here. And I met her on Frenchman Tuesday.

So I can't afford not to like people who don't like my same music.

Only if they listen to anything remotely country.

If somebody likes Nickelback, I would find it difficult to be their friend. Seriously.

I don't care about one's musical taste, even though many have their musical taste in their assholes. I tend to judge by the content of character and/or political leanings more than any other means.
