Art, music, literature, history, fashion, ancient cultures, mythology/folk tales, nature, surrealism, animal liberation, fantasy/sci-fi, graphic design, languages, architecture, BRYAN![grunts], film, the macabre-zombies, werewolves, vamps, etc.- worlds of inside jokes.
I'd like to meet:
The artists, the flawed characters, the consumed, the rebels, the dregs of the social pyramid, the writers, the musicians, the people looking for something more, the darkly humorous [or lamely humorous], people who constantly surprise you [for the better], the educated, the imaginative, the antiheroes, the mourning, the beautiful, the exiles.
Music:
Classical; especially Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. This would also include composers for movie soundtracks such as three of my personal favorites: Howard Shore, Tyler Bates and Hans Zimmer. Then comes rock; many genres: old-school punk, newer punk, oi!, alternative, cello, old-school goth, 80's, progressive, garage, classic, grunge. Rock then divides into the metal catagory: black, doom, speed, gore, folk, thrash, power, viking, heavy, goth. Other genres include industrial, techno, trip-hop, folk, ambient, experimental, musicals, opera, cabaret [especially punk cabaret], world music[I currently have an obsession with Middle Eastern music], neo-victorian, a'cappella, trance, tango. I have yet to hear a Finnish band I haven't liked, so if it's from Finland, chances are I like it.
