How often do you meet people in person with your music taste?

Outside of shows/gigs of course.

I guess we are kind of a specific group of people but I was pretty impressed today with a kid at the check out at my grocery. He had a sort of Paul Weller haircut and was wearing a Vibrators, Damned and the Jam pin on the shirt.I was like, "you got taste man" and we got in a conversation about music. It's weird that we didn't know each other but anyhow, it's reassuring to meet people who like good music.

Very true.  I've met a lot more people here (and the original garage punk website) and also on myspace and facebook than I ever met in real life.

Kind of gives me the warm fuzzies to know there are youngsters who appreciate the "good" music... I don't go to concerts as frequently as I did in the 80s/90s, so it is very rare that I meet anyone in person with similar music taste. The advent of the internet and subsequent introduction to fellow virtual fans has been the bees knees.

Never. Where i live, it's like people's music taste died in 2004, they're still listening to bad punk music and honking on about Groezrock, if you put on a "garage" show no one would come. If I ever post a video on Facebook you can pretty much see the binary tumbleweeds blowing around my newsfeed. Ho hum. That's why I love this place!

Also I am a girl (really) so unless I want to wear too much make up and dance to Rihanna I'm screwed for going out with girlfriends.

LOL! I hear ya sista...

Hmmm....my facebook newsfeed seems to be made up of people competing for how many garage rock videos and songs can be posted.  I usually average 3 to 7 "likes" but everyone does much better.  But there's like 25 people competing for space.

Ahh well alot of my friends on FB are fellow mums and I don't get the impression they listen to much that's Hideout-worthy. My boyfriend is about the only person that ever likes anything I post!

Well....you can find me there as Rod Strychnine and I keep my friends list open so it's easy to find some like minded people.  Downside:I spend even more time there then I do here.

To show that I am aging, the place I actually used to meet tons of people with similar music interests was IRC.   Ended up meeting a ton of them back then too, even a few IRC get togethers.

I have a friend... we exchange our tastes and findings, but other than us... not much.

Never ever. 'Course I don't go out much anymore. All my young co-workers are so imbedded in our current pop lack-of-culture that even their conversations are auto tuned.

Not very many here but I'm in kind of a desolate area anyhow... me mum and aunts would probably like what i've been hearing but i don't see 'em so much no mo'... i do enjoy the metalheads about tho :)

Never! No-one ever even has a clue what I'm talking about. From what I can figure on this & other sites (I'm on Surf 101 too) within a radius of about 100 miles there are maybe 4 people. We should form a band right?! Or, is it because I'm so socially dysfunctional that I'd never find out who likes the same stuff anyway? Guess we'll never know... ;-) What is kind of nice is that it's a bit like Jagger meeting Richards because one of them had a blues album under his arm, like a secret code. This Saturday I'm meeting a guy who lives 80 miles away halfway for a drink because we both wanted to hang with someone who likes the same music for once. Awww! Someone call my wife if I'm not back in 3 hours...
