When you listen to literally every kind of music, it's hard for people to put labels on you. And sometimes, people just don't understand how you can be into so many different types of music at once. Maybe it's because you're not as picky as everyone else, or you're open-minded enough to see the beauty in a wide variety of genres, but regardless, it makes you a special kind of person. Here are 10 things anyone with eclectic tastes in music will recognize.

1. You hate it when people ask you what your favorite type of music is.

"Is your favorite pop, R&B, metal, or country?"

"Yes."

2. You can't keep up with what the latest song trends are.

You might not be able to keep track of what the newest, most popular thing in music is, but that doesn't mean you don't love a good throwback

3. You can go from listening to classic jazz to French pop and back again in an instant.

You're pretty much a musical chameleon.

4. Your friends don't trust you with their aux cord because they don't know what to expect.

But when they do let you control the music, they ultimately end up finding new music that they like too.

5. You get way too excited when you find someone who likes an obscure band that you're into.

Because finding someone who's also into that indie Japanese funk-rock band is truly a miracle.

6. You HATE listening to the radio because they only play the same five songs over and over again.

When you forget to bring your aux cord, you would rather drive in silence alone with your thoughts than listen to the radio .

7. It's impossible to see all your favorite artists in concert.


Half of your favorite artists are probably either dead, international, or film composers, which means you're never going to be able to enjoy their music live. So while your friends are at the concert for their one favorite artist, you'll be crying by yourself.

8. People think you're a hipster because of the music you listen to.

But you're not a hipster, you're more of a music "collector."

9. Sometimes you wish you could just be more mainstream with your music tastes.

I mean, who needs all the heartbreak that comes with such unique music tastes?

10. But then you remember how awesome the music you listen to is and decide to forget the haters.

After all, variety is the spice of life.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
