Is anyone else here as narrow minded (musically) as I am?

[Life Sucks]

It seems that almost everyone here listens to some other genre of music along with metal. I only listen to metal, save for a couple hardcore and punk bands that I happen to like, but still very rarely listen to. I just can't get into any pop, country, jazz, blues, rock or alt-rock, and especially not hip hop. Hell, I can't even get into Led Zeppelin or anything of the like. Techno without words can sometimes be ok, but I wouldn't listen to it on my own, and the same goes for classical music (though I can see the great substance and genius involved in the composition of classical music). I am not ashamed of being this musically narrow minded. Anyone else here as limited as I am in their taste?

I have only metal on my comp, I have only metal on my mp3 player. I don't listen to other music as metal when I am alone. Only rn'b when I am with my girfriend. She listens to rn'b and black hip hop so I must to I like some of Opeths ballads and I rarely listen to rock and that's it.

Oh, when you're with your gf, it doesn't count, as it is her music. When I go out to bars/clubs, all they play is hip hop, but that sure as hell isn't saying that I listen to hip hop. So, yeah, you seem to be pretty much just like me in terms of the "metal only" stance.

you just gotta be more open minded I guess. I loved prog rock the first time I ever heard it...

I think it's predetermined. You can grow to like something, but you can't force yourself to like something. I don't hate all other genres, it's just that they don't click with me. The only genres I hate are mainstream hip hop and mainstream rock/pop.

Nobody stands metal I listen to, only my brother (he likes early Dimmu Borgir). I like to isolate myself from everyone else with my headphones.

I just have my own music vision and an idea about what I want to hear. I do not try to force myself to like something. Everyone is close minded in a sense where they have their own ideals on what is music or not.

Metal is the only modern music I listen to, along with a very small amount of ambient. I find it hard to believe you don't enjoy any classical, I'd have thought all metal enthusiasts would.

When I was 14 or 15 or so, the only thing I listened to was Metal. The only thing I BUY has still been Metal, but now I occasionally listen to some prog rock, ambient, and classical. I've actually given up listening to metal in the car and instead listen to classical.
