Why do some people say.....?

Question

that they like all kind of music and then say except this genre and this other. doesnt it mean when they say they listen to everything they listen to everything with no exeptions? does anyone agree?

Answer 1

Yeah. What's even more annoying is when I say: "What kind of music do you like?"
And they say: "Everything."
And I'm thinking: "Yeah, right! Nobody likes EVERYTHING."
So I say: "Everything? Really? Riiiiight...what kind of stuff do you like, really?"
And they say: "No really, I like everything."
So I say: "Ok, so you like N-Sync?"
Them: "NO."
Me: "You like Beethoven?"
Them: "NO."
Me: "So you like Johnny Cash?"
Them: "NO."
So at that point I'm like: "Well, you don't like everything then, do ya moron?!? So what kind of stuff do you like?"
Them: "Emo...."
And that's it! That's their answer: Just one genre! How the hell does that qualify as "everything"?? *LOL* People are so dumb sometimes, eh?

Answer 2

No I don't agree- it probably means they're pretty much open to hearing every type of music except this one specific genre...it's a lot easier to exclude one or two genres than to list, say 24 or 125 genres.

Answer 3

When they hear all ,then only they can tell what they like and what they dont like.Its all some kind of commom sense.Me too hear lots of music like heavy metal,rock,punk-rock but not other genres...

Answer 4

People like to appear agreeable, so they will make the most inclusive statement possible. My company actually trains waitresses in techniques developed on this concept in order to sell more of specific items.

Answer 5

I tend to list what I like and what I don't like. For instance...

I like rock and/or roll, punk, ska, progressive rock, glam rock, pop, synthpop, reggae, dub, post-punk, hardcore, new wave, art rock, art punk, hard rock, metal, rockabilly, funk, jazz rock, psychedelic soul, blues rock and some other stuff.

I don't like post-1989 music and stuff with a Southern twang to it.
