Without a doubt, music comes with some kind of energy and we all can agree on the power it holds. One way or another music has different effects on us, it can brighten our mood or even bring back warm or dark memories. Since being compatible is key to a successful relationship a large percentage of people prefer having a partner with similar interests and tastes. But what does music have to do with this? With just a song telling a lot about your core values and perspective on life, music can move with the beat of relationship compatibility.
It’s really intriguing how music can express a lot about an individual’s personality. Stereotypical or not, the type of music we like is somewhat dependent on our demographics, such as race, gender, age and the community we grew up in. Therefore, it’s not biased to say southern Americans are all about country music while most black folks generally don’t have an affinity for rock music (keyword is most). Music has also created different personality inclined subcultures like Goth, Rudeboy, Metalheads, Ravers, etc.
Love can be very exciting when partners are on the same page in regards to the type of music they like. Often than not, music can even be a great icebreaker. Imagine a scenario with you in a front-row seat in a bus and suddenly, seated at the back, a phone rings out loud. Nothing but noise or disturbance, yes? Now, imagine if the ringtone was a song from your favorite artist. Unfortunately, humans aren’t owls with the ability to quickly turn heads at 270 degrees. Otherwise, you’d have done so in that situation, but one thing is for sure, a spark would immediately be ignited in your heart to get closer to that person and discover your unique commonality. That’s the magic that music brings.
Dates and car rides would also never be boring with a romantic partner with the same music tastes. You can both enjoy concerts or performances together without one partner feeling like he/she is making a sacrifice. But what happens in cases where your music interests are as different as the Sith and Jedi? Gives you the shivers, doesn’t it? While it can be a pain to have to listen to music you despise, not syncing musically with your him/her doesn’t mean such a relationship can’t be fun. After all, if we all had the same taste, life would be so awkward and dull.
Consequently, dating someone with an erratic taste in music can be amusing as you ultimately get exposed to other music genres that you may end up liking. You may not know, but it’s possible to know all music genres in existence. Well, that’s if you are an iTunes cyborg! So, keep an open mind; it may even be you that has bad tastes in music.
While the benefits of having music chemistry with your partner are incredible, nothing beats loving a person compatible with your core values and perspective on life. Because, when it comes to a successful relationship, having similar taste in music goes way down the list of top desirable qualities in a partner. Truly, it’s amazing to sing along to the same songs with him or her all day long but you would soon realize that there are more important traits to prioritize when reality sets and you discover some major red flags.
Aside from having an awesome personality, sharing similar values supersede music compatibility if you truly want a successful relationship. Everyone is different in one way or another and as such, no one ticks all boxes. But not to worry, you can still find someone with an enticing character and similar love for music. All you have to do is to ensure that the musical chemistry comes along with some other nice traits.
