Ever Get That Feeling When You Don't Fit In?
Have you ever got that "I'm the only one" feeling before? It sucks, yes. However, I like to think that in my case, it's a little bit different.
No, I'm not a social outcast. I'm not hated by society. I don't hate every single cheerleader or jock, and most of them don't hate me. My parents love me. I'm best friends with my brother and sister. Yes, I have alot of friends. So, what's the problem?
The main thing is my musical taste, I wouldn't exactly call it a problem actually, but it definatly sets me apart from my friends. The majority of them don't even like rock music, to say the least, except for Fall Out Boy and stuff, and I don't have a problem with it, but after a while it just gets annoying when I try to talk about a band and they're staring at me like I have 3 heads.
Even with my rock music friends, I still feel different. I can actually tolerate the majority of their music tastes, but we still differ by ALOT. See, they're more into stuff like All Time Low, Tokio Hotel, Bullet For My Valentine, while I tend toward stuff like Bad Religion, Rancid, and Operation Ivy. I was watching a Rancid video yesterday with my friend, and she says that they're ugly. I responded with "Well, all bands don't have to look good to be good" and she flipped a bitch at me because she thought that I thought that she only likes bands for they're looks. We ended up making up later, but it just aggravates me to no extent that I'll tolerate them listening to their music, but then as soon as I wanna play mine, they get all "Oh this sucks" on me. What I'm trying to say is that it's aggravating even among my "alternative rock" friends that they still make me feel like an outcast.
P.S: Not making fun of any bands or music tastes here.

Dude I know exactly where ur comin from. Most of the time I just cant be bothered talkin 2 anyone I go 2 skool with bout my music coz they dont know wat Im talkin bout. Its exactly the same when I wanna play my music, we have smart boards in our classrooms and usually my maths teacher Mr Oliver will let some1 plug in their i pod and put some music on,Whenever I do it some1 tries to unplug my i pod coz they dont like the music, they always say "can we put something better on" or "Bronwyn turn this off, this is sh*t" and I give them the same answer "you idiots just dont know good music" lol. Its funny coz Mr Oliver luvs my music lol

My friends and I all listen to TOTALLY different types of music, and yet it's no problem at all. Some of my friends listen to RnB, some to Electro, some to Rock and some to everything. Some even to classical. But hell it doesn't matter what you listen to as long as you can still have fun together. when we go ouut clubbing we spent time on all different kinds of floors so everyone has fun. It sucks that your friends dont seem to accept your music taste since it's actually not that different to theirs. I think people shouldn't get too stuck up over music :DDD
btw i have a problem with calling tokio hotel rock xD more like pop-rock. ^^

"Does anyone else think that the lead singer of Tokio Hotel looks slightly .. feminine? :|"
Yes, but omg, he is so pretty that way.

Everyone feels like they don't fit in at some points in their life. it's quite normal. just know that it's fine to have differences just as much as similarities :]
I know how you feel. although that'll happen with any friend you have.
you'll always have differences in bands and music. same goes for me,
but I put aside our differences and focus on the things we have in common :]
I also find, it helps to listen to a wide range of music. music that goes from rap to pop, to metal, to pop-rock to punk to techno etc.

My friends dislike my music taste and making fun of it is a sort of personal joke to us, but I stopped worrying about it. I just dont care. You shouldnt either. Eventually, you will find someone with the same music taste, you dont need to stress about it.

alot of my friends are into alot of different things
its all too different for any of us to agree on much
sure we agree on some things, but in the end, Joe gets to pick the tunes cuz hes a dirtbag

I'm into basically any type of rock there is. Most of my friends are more into All Time Low and stuff too, I love ATL. But I also love Anti-Flag and Operation Ivy. Omg, I love them heaps. And if my friends listen to them, they most likely wouldn't like them. But I like it that way.

This is why I prefer to hang with guys, so many girls are too b*tchy about every thing, including music. You want a guy to like the same band as you, you get him drunk and he won't care. :)

lol. you shoul liek... get better friends. HAHAHA :P

I find it funny that I like every band mentioned in this xD
And yeah I get that same feeling too, because where I live no one's ever heard of the band I listen to, even the more famous ones like Green Day or Muse.
So yeah, I know how you feel.
