I like a very narrow range of music (punk and ska, mostly, some celtic), but I couldn't care less if my girlfriend does. Music is fun and all, but I listen to it in the car, on my bike, or while doing something else around the house. If my girlfriend doesn't like what I do, that's fine--I'll put on headphones.
I guess I would kind of prefer that she like something interesting, though. My last girlfriend was a huge Tori Amos fan, and although I personally can't stand Tori, I liked that she at least liked something different and fairly unique. But if she listened to Ashlee Simpson, that'd be fine too--I might make fun of her about it, but only a little, and that'd be that.
Interestingly, I randomly met someone that listed the EXACT SAME favorite bands that I have, including the Phenomenauts (I pretty much thought my brother and I were their only fans) and also was into Battle Royale (crazy Japanese horror film in which a class of 7th graders are forced to kill one another). I don't even know her personality well enough to know if I'll like her, but the fact that we have so much in common is kind of... off-putting.
Weird, eh?
