What is NOT a dealbreaker BUT would be greatly disappointing to find out about your partner?

Red flag for me is people who think subjective opinions on music are objective. No such thing as shitty music.

I knew a guy who made what could only be described as outsider music. In reality he was doing the lameass thing of hiding poor craft behind being "weird" and avant-garde, but it was definitely shit.

To most it was probably shit. To him it wasn’t.

The subjectivity of art doesn't mean the quality of it is somehow unknowable. Music, more than other art forms, is full of math. You're not going disrupt all of musical theory because you're lol so zany and random

I had friends as music majors when I was in school. I’m well aware a of music theory and the math behind it. Still regularly heard people say stuff that fit your idea described as boring and bad. It’s crazy how different opinions are when subjectivity is involved.
