Music tastes can evolve. When I started dating my boyfriend, our music tastes seemed worlds apart. He’s a rap guy, and I’m a rock girl. There wasn’t much we could agree on when we put on the radio, yet we’re on the same wavelength for pretty much everything else.

But he still came with me to an Eagles/Steely Dan concert, and he said he liked it. Lately he discovered funk music for the first time, which is a genre I grew up listening to. Now we sing and dance together to funk while cooking dinner.

I think the bigger problem isn’t having the different tastes, but being closed-minded about trying new things.
