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.

The OP sounds a little pretentious, but maybe I'm reading his post differently. While I do agree that you can learn a lot about a person from their taste in music, it is pretty shallow to use that one characteristic to judge a person as a whole. Most of my friends don't share my taste in music or what I consider "good", but good taste in music is very subjective. I can find other things in common with people, such as LSU, sports, movies, hobbies, etc, and enjoy the company of people with these characteristics just as much or more than those that have the same taste in music.

Like someone else said, many people that like the same music as me can often be pretentious dicks, so why would I want to hang around them?

If you are throwing starburst at a girl for liking THE most popular pop song of 2012, then you aren't very tolerant. A wise group of women once said, "Free your mind, and the rest will follow. Be colorblind, don't be so shallow."
