Is it normal that i judge a girl for her musical taste and cultural interests?

I'm really not interested in a girl unless she has interests outside the norm. I don't really want to give the time of day to a girl who listens to Katy Perry and Lady Gaga, or watches American Idol and CSI, or thinks that Twilight is the best movie ever. Things like these are just a red flag that screams "idiot" to me.
Is it not fair to judge a girl based on her cultural values? Even if a girl is intelligent, friendly, and has all sorts of other positive attributes, but she can't connect with me on a cultural level?

    ...as long as they're not pretentious, shallow, and empty-headed like most hipsters, then yeah.

    Hiya,

    You'd love me then. I know a lot of girls like that, even older women, and compared to them I feel like a man. I've told them about concerts, because they constantly ask if I’ve been doing anything or whether I’m going to – I can never see what concern it might be of theirs, since they don't have to do it themselves, but that's beside the point -- and not only have they not known of the bands I’ve seen (that's to be expected, to be fair) they asked what type of music it was/is and when I've told them they haven't even known what that means.

    They never read either. I read big thick fantasy novels you could prop a door open with. Even my dog has a fantasy name – Merlin. I never bother recommending music or books to them because I don't see the point.

    I despair, I really do.

    Hey man, CSI is pretty cool.... But NCIS is way better. X3 I can see how you don't want a sheep who just buys into what's popular, but just because someone likes a few things that are mainstream shouldn't be an instant dealbreaker either.

    I don't know if I'm right...but maybe what you're looking for aren't exactly cultural interests.

    You see, from what I noticed, people who have a specific music taste and distinguished interests are often, but not always, more interesting, mature, have goals in life, and have a different set of values (not only cultural). Maybe that's what you want to find?

    Those who like Lady Gaga etc. often don't think too deeply about their interests, but some can like Lady Gaga with a good reason (not because it's catchy, cool, unique, .....)

    I'm a bit like you (a girl though). When I meet someone with interests Lady Gaga+Am. Idol+CSI+Twilight then I can't even take them seriously (not a good thing though, I know)...

  • I like some of Gaga's songs, some of Katy Perry's but love Bowie, Within Temptation and listening to video game soundtracks like Final Fantasy and Soul Calibur. You can't judge someone based solely on one or two things you might know about them.

    I do it too. It's wrong I know, but if you haven't the time to search for good music outside (insert best radio station)'s top one gazillion, you really aren't adventurous enough for me. And anyone who days Gaga's style is unique clearly hasn't listened to anything other than pop hits.
    The 80s was full of that shit.

    Bitch or crazy emo rocker but once you get to know some one then you should make the final conclusion because conclusions based on small pieces of information is bad usually and wrong but what ever maybe I'm crazy nah its up to you

    I think it's a bit harsh, personally I love meeting people with different tastes to me, it can bring up a brilliant debate, although I agree with Twilight...
