I don’t like going in to a pub where there's music, I really don’t like buskers. I’ve only got one CD, my boss gave me it as a laugh!! I hate it at half time or before the game when the DJ thinks everyone wants to listen to some noise at a high volume. I just can’t stand it. I enjoy pubs where we can chat, I don’t mind crowds singing the songs etc. But this noise pollution is not for me.

there's a difference between disliking loud music and disliking all music, anyone not liking all music is,well, it's just not right
i very much dislike heavy rock, i mean that's just not music is it, 140 decibels and jumping about shaking their heids 😄 i like the majority of genres...except heavy rock and opera :)

I like music but I've never understood people who try to pass off going to a gig as some sort of out-of-body experience.

Another classic. How can anyone not love music? Each to their own I suppose. I hate pubs like the Cask and Barrel.

I don't like live music.
It surprises me how often I'm sitting in a nice quiet pub and some hairy drop out from reality walks in and sets up in the corner. The pubs then invaded by half a dozen hairy clones nodding in some sort of agreement but not in time!Space to let

I wouldn't say I dislike music, but I know what you mean.
I also own no CD's, would rarely pay to go to a gig, and don't enjoy pubs with blaring music (some light background music is good). I do listen to music while running or on the commute (when I had such a thing) though - but with having no particular music tastes, I just fire the radio on and let them decide what I listen to.Mon the Hibs.

I love music but I love my music.
Sitting in a pub whilst someone else blares out their idea of good music at a volume that makes conversation impossible is my idea of hell.PM Awards General Poster of The Year 2015, 2016, 2017. Probably robbed in other years

I used to love gigs, now I don't really have any interest.
TBH having someone potter about on a guitar in the corner of a pub adds to the experience for me. There seems to be more of a "live music" culture in pubs in Ireland, which I've always liked.
Just all long as it isn't totally blaring - although on a Friday or Saturday night blaring is fine too.
Like the rest of the world, I'm working from home - I get much more done with the world blocked out when I've got my headphones on.

Music is a deeply personal experience. I'm sure I started a similar thread a while ago. I absolutely love and can be deeply moved by the music I like. However play some freeform jazz or power ballads at breakfast in a hotel or in a spa for example and I want to rip the speakers off the walls.

I enjoy what I enjoy, anything else is at best ambient background noise and at worse an infuriating intrusion.

I love music, other than Hibs it’s the most important thing in my life as far as leisure pursuits go.
I don’t watch much tv, can take or leave movies, but if I couldn’t listen to music I don’t know what I’d do.
Got about 1600 records and CD’s in my collection, probably split about 50/50 between records and CD’s. I don’t buy new vinyl any more as I think it’s a bit of a gimmick, happy buying albums on CD when it’s an artist I support. Streaming is fantastic as well for discovering new artists or ones you’ve forgotten about.
Used to go to loads of gigs, not so many these days as firm believer that live music is crap in fields and huge open exhibition centre spaces, anything bigger than the Playhouse is too big.

I read "A History of Heavy Metal" by comedian and bassist in an anarcho-punk band (The Men That Will Not Be Blamed for Nothing) a while back, and he made the point that listening to heavy music requires conditioning of a sort, and I agree with him. I've been listening to metalcore and contemporary metal (e.g., Architects, Slipknot, Northlane...) since I was a teenager and I couldn't be without it now.
But I also understand why it's not for everyone. I also can't do opera

I was at a stag do last year in April in Manchester and about 6 or 7 of the group of 15 went to Satan's Hollow one night and it was great to see so many others enjoy music that I've grown up with and have a pretty strong connection with. The other guys in our group didn't come along, and that's fine. As I said above, it's such a personal experience for any individual.

With everyone now owning, and carrying, their own headphones I see no reason for music to be played anywhere in public.

SF Sorrows by The Pretty Things and Tommy by The Who were the first two to create the genre and very good IMO. As for actual opera, inclined to agree.
