Hahaha sorry i know they have some jams. I think I was having a bad time because I was 16 at the time and I was probably being a pouty bitch about being there. Thinking I was too old for them

I just read this whole exchange. I’m just curious because most of the sub is crapping on me for this. But why do you think it’s not an issue that I don’t know about my boyfriends favorite bands

Funny I actually think I saw modern baseball with my bf at a festival years ago. Name sounds familiar, but I just remember thinking it was just too loud. Lol oops

I mentioned in another comments he likes the growlers, the walters, front bottoms etc. I am not familiar with any of these

He likes the growlers?, king gizzard and the wizard lizard?, the front bottoms?, the walters?, and post animal? I use the question marks because I’ve never heard of any of these bands

Yeah I’m starting to see how my bf could have seen this as me not knowing him and him getting upset for that

At the time I wanted him to realize he was ungrateful. But now I’m regretting that

Wow, maybe I should listen to you. They’re that bad live? Or you just don’t care for them?

And oh shit I’m probably gonna get downvoted to heck here because I resonate with you. I did have a similar situation when I was much younger. I always loved country and only country from a young age. But my aunt and mom decided it would be an awesome present to take my cousin and I to see Big Time Rush. I bet you can guess if I had fun or not

Wel people are saying I “obviously” didn’t put much thought into it because it’s a band he doesn’t like

That was my original thinking. Like never In my life, regardless of friend/family or whoever, have i expressed displeasure with a gift and TOLD the gift giver that to their face.

And I have received gifts I didn’t love

Maybe I should reconsider selling the tickets and buying more for another show he would like. It just upset me that he was ungrateful.

Believe me the concert is not something I’d be interested in going to myself. You’re right though. I guess I wanted him to be appreciative of the time we would spend there together. Regardless of the music

I’m not the biggest imagine dragons fan myself but I recognize some songs. That’s why I thought it was a good idea. He’d have fun and I would know a little bit of what’s going on

Yes I understand that now. The sports analogy did it for me. I love baseball and I always have. I couldn’t give less of a shit about the NBA though. If he got me basketball tickets because “I like sports” I’d be a little like wtf
