On the other hand, it kills me when people think having a unique taste in music is representative of anything other than having a unique taste in music (i.e. that one's taste in music has anything to do with being original or contrarian).

It seems sensible to me that the people who spend a lot of time doing something like creating a successful business do not spend much of their time curating a unique taste in music.

Exactly. You can be unique and non-conformist in some ways, but not in all of them at the same time.

[joshdavham]

You two raise good points.

I guess I'm probably a bit of a conformist in most areas I don't really care about, for example: cars and clothing. My tastes are probably average, but only because I don't much care for those things as much.

[codethief]

Yup, me too. It's all about choosing one's battles / one's struggle.

[Bengalilol]

Yeah, but look at those tastes
