Thinking of my friends and acquaintances, they all have pretty diverse tastes... the only bands we can all agree on are the misfits, secret chiefs 3, dead kennedys, the smiths (who I don't really like but can tolerate), melt banana, joy division, the residents, polysics, and cerberus shoal...
Thinking of 5 random pals for a moment... One of my good pals is into a lot of electronic shit, and amprep type shit but also loves mainstream stuff like the Killers... cool dude... another pal of mine is mainly into throbbing gristle, jandek, early sonic youth, einsturzende neubauten, merzbow, the residents, legendary pink dots, but one of his all time favorite bands is CHEVELLE. No kidding... very weird but awesome dude, got me into a lot of cool shit.. Let's see, another friend of mine is mainly into sun city girls, amps for christ, my bloody valentine, etc... noisey, vaguely folkly, eclectic kinda stuff usually... one is mainly into pop punk and stuff like THinking Fellers type stuff... and one is into just NOISE, wolf eyes hair police merzbow all this shit.. he almost exclusively listens to doom, drone, etc.
So, I'm pretty lucky to be surrounded by a pretty diverse, open minded, and eclectic group of people, and we appreciate each other's tastes...
One of my best friends, I met him when we both shared a love of Babyland and Squarepusher...
My girlfriend mainly likes jpop, jindie, and uh... I dunno, really melodic shit.. .but also loves stuff like Secret Chiefs 3, Mr. Bungle, Estradasphere, etc...
People who I know around here but don't associate with as much seem to be mainly into mainstream punk and hipster stuff (the Locust, Holy Molar, all that shit that was popular 5 years ago).. but I dunno, I only know a few people who are into My Chemical Romance and shit, and they're all like... 15 or 16 years old.
