My other half's family think it's bizarre that I don't like Ed Sheeran, Snow Patrol etc.like it's somehow compulsory for everyone in the world to have the same taste in dreary shite music.
At a family gathering last weekend, her step-brother was telling me (again) about how the Foo Fighters are his all-time favourite band, and he's seen them loads of times. Still, later on that evening he started telling people at his side of the room about how the Jews control everything and George Soros is personally funding the BLM protests, so to be honest I think I'd rather he keeps talking to me about the Foo Fighters.

It can be awkward when someone whose taste you admire turns out to have shit politics, or when someone who's ideologically sound has embarrassing taste.
OTOH, when someone both loves shit music, films etc. and is a fucking bigoted moron, it's somehow very satisfying.

Yes.My stupid neighbour has an unattractive wife, a shit car with a personalised numberplate, a truly disgusting dog, wears dreadful clothes and for the past few weeks has employed builders to make his house look rubbish.
The other day he was in the garden and bellowed "Alexa, play Bastille" and I nodded to myself.

Yes, and it's exactly the sort of music I'd expect him to like.He's thoroughly awful.
Works as a chiropractor and when I googled him there was an article about him charging people thousands of pounds to fix their joint pains using magnetic resonance therapy.

I dunno, not when they're family and therefore you are obliged not to tell them to fuck off.(, Mon 5 Jul 2021, 8:19, archived)
I seem to remember liking 'Spitting Games' for a bit.Although at the time my taste in music was mainly influenced by whatever was getting played most on Kerrang!.

I saw Foo Fighters live once at a festival.Every song was stretched out to 10 minutes, with each performer having a solo, and Dave getting the crowd to do a call-and-response bit. Every fucking song. Inbetween songs, Dave regaled us with such witty repartee as downing a can of beer and then belching into the microphone, then soaking up the applause. I hung around until they played Everlong, then fucked off.
