Is it normal to be so lonely in musical taste?

There are billions of people on this one planet. Lots of them will share your tastes. There are ways you can find them. I'd encourage your efforts in that.

What is unlikely, though, is that you'll transform the people you already know into being people who like exactly the same things you do.

I like how the Residents are eyeballs with top hats. They deserve credit just for breaking out of their giant skulls and making it on their own in style.

There's no accounting for taste. And I don't think you should be too surprised that not many people are into or aware of that stuff. So don't worry, unless you think it will help affect your enigmatic, underground image - you poor misunderstood creature!! :P

I'd listen to ''Throbbing Gristle'' solely based on the name alone...

check out Guilt of.. if your into noise prokects

I listen to some pretty obscure things but I've always liked how sacred they are to me and how virtually unknown (or forgotten) they are. It feels more personalized that way.

I'm sure in these days of social media you can find people out there with similar interests, be it on a facebook page, forum or dedicated website.

I'm the same, my favourite bands are: The Incredible Lamp Shades, 3:00pm to die and Nuclear Explosion 5000. I don't know anyone who likes em.

Yeah none of my friends have even heard of any of the bands I listen to lol I'll say so and so had a really great album come out and they'll just say, who?

I just looked up Koenjihyakkei and it's badass. I'll check out those other ones too. I love weird music. Most the stuff on the radio is not very good.

I'm alone in my music taste too, I've gotten my brother to listen to a couple of bands but he is visually pained by most of the band's I play him

I feel alone too /: I like all the little guys like; The Lilys, The Asteroids Galaxy Tour, Idlewild, The Crash and, Story Of The Year.

There's more but those are my favorites.

I just watched the Residents video Constantinople. No offense, but musically and visually...YUCK!

I've never heard of The Residents, but I really like American Football. I'll give a listen to some of the stuff you've listed later, if I remember.

Discounting people at shows, it's very rare for me to meet anyone who is into a lot of my favourite bands. I don't feel a need to share the music I love though, because music isn't a social thing for me aside from live shows.

Hey im not a fan of your shit but Im alone too. No one like my shit. Ill list and maybe we can find some soulmates. The Brian Jonestown Massacre, The Black Angels, The Blue Angel Lounge, Black Rebel Motorcycle Club, Chevelle, The Duke Spirit, The Gaslight Anthem, The Horrible Crowes, The Headstones, The Joy Formidable, Joy Zipper, A Place To Bury Strangers, Singapore Sling, The Warlocks. See? No one will ever like our shit!
