Not country, religious stuff or rude rap.

Christian/religious music would be a negative but otherwise, I don't care.

Listen to whatever you please. That's why there are headphones, so I don't have to hear it, too.

I've tried putting up with others taste in music but they inevitably fail

Can't stand misogynist rap, whiny country music or screaming guitars.

Instead I love mellow jazz, blues and some classical music. As a musician, I prefer ballads in a minor key.

It needs to be pretty close, but since l like all kinds of music it hasn't been a problem in the past.

I listen to all sorts of music and I am always open for discovering "new" music.

For me it’s less the genre of the music but more individual songs whatever the genre. So I have quite an eclectic music collection with random songs most people probably have never heard of. It’s not likely that I wouldn’t like at least some of the music the other person listens to. A friend of mine has been trying to get me to like the heavy metal bands he loves. Granted most of them I couldn’t listen to for more than a minute. But one I just fell in love with and I’ve become obsessed with their music.

Music is what makes life bearable. It doesn't matter what genre. But if you only listen to top 40 shit, stop for a month and dig on some Frank Zappa

I am mostly open to anything, as long as it is music. I just can't stand most rap or that techno garbage

It's not a requirement have a similar taste but it's really nice when you do cause it makes car ride way more enjoyable when you can both jam out a song. With my ex, we would alternate song choice which worked okay but not as fun.

As long as it's reciprocal.

I’m perfectly willing to laugh go at someone else’s musical taste.

I have a wide and expansive musical taste, and people who limit themselves to one specific genre are a little more difficult to be interested in, as it hamstrings about 20-30% of what I talk about on a day-to-day basis.

I am picky about my music in the sense of how well I can connect with the lyrics which isn't the case most of the times.

Good to have some common ground but I also like some strange stuff that is not a requirement

I could be wrong, but in my experience with people, it seems to me that a similar taste in music is indicative of similar ways of relating to the world and a generally more chance at compatibility.

I prefer quiet.

Like anything else in a relationship, similarity's are good for bonding, separations are fine and sometimes healthy unless you hold them dear to your heart.
