Depends on what her other tastes are like and what's important to you. I take music and movies pretty seriously. I know what I like and I can generally gauge a person's intellect and personality by the movies and music they like.

For example, in music, I love Nirvana, Mike Patton, Nine Inch Nails, and Tool. Movies, I like Zoolander, Fear & Loathing, The Godfather, Texas Chainsaw Massacre, and Night/Dawn/Day of the Dead.

If another person likes those, then they will most likely have the same personality, sense of humor, and likes/dislikes that I do.

It hasn't failed yet.

It's probably not the best thing to do, but making generalizations based off someone's interest does save time in the long run. If a girl enjoys Limp Bizkit and Hoobastank and her favorite movie of all time is "I know what you did last summer" (hah, I just typed "I can't believe it's not butter"...) , then chances are pretty slim to none that she has good taste in anything else or can do other things like hold semi-intelligent convo. There are exceptions to the rule, of course, but it's very rare that you'll overlook "the one" by using this.

Of course, if it doesn't bother you being with a "drone", then carry on (again, not *everyone* is like this, but pretty much all of them are).

I've talked to girls before who were into dumb commercial shit like J-Lo and Britney Spears thinking, "Hm, maybe she's intelligent and just so happens to like crappy music..." but... almost each and every time, there's nothing up in the old noggin. They may be fun to be around as a friend, or the "Hey I'm bored, wanna go party?" type of friend, but anything more than that, good luck getting it out of them.

They can tell you what brands of clothes look good, or who won best artist at the MTV music awards, but they can't hold a political convo worth a damn, because it doesn't conern them.. or they won't/can't (because they lack knowledge or interest in) have deep intellectual conversations about anything else, really... sorry, there's more to life than American Eagle Outlet and Abercrombie.
