- @maxton - I agree. To me, this thread feels as if a bunch of butthurt cucks reunited to complain about why some people can`t seem to appreciate their tastes as much as they do.

- I agree with the OP. I've been into VGM since I was a kid, when "video game music" pretty much meant NES music. Adolescence was pretty tough for me, with people acting towards me just like the OP said, like it was some kind of disease.
The reason some of us desire to find other VGM fans in person is to have an actual, tangible person to counteract the stigma and relate about our passion. I think everyone needs that in their lives; it just feels more difficult in a case like this as VGM fandom is apparently so rare. I've only ever had two in-person friends I could really share my love for VGM with the way it can be shared online, and I greatly miss both of them these days.
Having someone "tolerate" or "accept" the love is one thing; telling someone how much you love Chrono Trigger's music and getting a return "Me too!" is something else entirely. A lot of people are into movies, tv series, books, etc. that way and simply take for granted that finding someone similar to bond with is as easy as getting to know ten or fifteen people and picking out the half or so of them with similar taste. It's not always that easy or that meaningless, though - especially for those of us who have been into VGM for almost 30 years.
Edit: And by the way, yes, Chrono Trigger kicks all kinds of ass musically and is one of my top 5 soundtracks ever.
Edit2: Thank you for making the initial post.

- Honestly, people have always been ignorant when it comes to interests. Best example is when, as a kid, you're asked about your favourite kind of music or your favourite band (i.e.: Eww! You like The Turtles?! King Crimson is WAY better!).
It's just part of people's nature; they dislike those that are different than they are & have an elitist aire about them. Like people who like classical music in 2017; others would make fun of them for liking only classical music, when the classical lover may be so arrogant that he'll see himself better than a Lady Gaga fan.
In any case, it's just stupid, really. Just like what you like, ignore what you don't like & always try to find the middle pillar in all interactions you have; those who can't themselves are the real problem.

I'm not a "butthurt cuck", a "cuttburt huck" or even a "cutthurt buck", but I understand what you mean. But this thread is not about having different opinions, it's about people not respecting your opinions.

- What's to be butthurt about in here?
SmartOne: I'm also out of a job after 7 years of working in IT & electronics engineering (QA technician). I'm not going to let that drag me down, so right now, finding a job is my job until I get what I want & need.
As for the whole thread, honestly, why worry like a Fur is Murder protester over people not sharing your interests & wanting to shove them down another person's throat? I have interests in video game music, but also in carpentry, electronics, classical music & even occultism, but I'm not going to complain about being a "special snowflake" here because what does any of that matter when you hang out with someone? Sure, it helps to have common interests, but not everyone's interests will ever match up (i.e.: who gives a crap about video game music when you're working in a garage, where people are just interested in cars & getting them to work?).

- @G-Boy - "But this thread is not about having different opinions, it's about people not respecting your opinions."
Funny of you to say that though, because by the time I read the first post of this thread I had a impression that this thread seems to be made by a cuck for other cucks to join in because apparently dealing with the way people perceive you just because you have some kind of interest in VGM music while other people has other interests is just too hard.
You don`t believe me? Read the first post of this thread and try to deny the fact that drexl is afraid to talk with anyone that doesn`t share his interests, let alone be mocked for his interests alone despite having someone who shares his interests. Or that dj4uk6cjm decided to throw in a childish insult for those who have different opinions from him, therefore he thinks that sequenced music is and will ever be superior to streamed music and anyone who says otherwise deserves literally no respect. And that`s despite the latter having its moments as well.
@CaptainRon - "As for the whole thread, honestly, why worry like a Fur is Muerder protester over people not sharing your interests & wanting to shove them down another person's throat?

Exactly.

- See: drexl's complaint is that people he knows treat his being into video game music like he's the 40-year-old virgin, while everyone else around already lost their virginity willingly as pre-teens (I over-exaggerate here, but that's the overall mentality).
But there's a whole stigma against people with interests in technology in general, not just video game music. It's the whole mentality of "why would you stay at home all day, screwing around with video game music when you can go to a bar & pick up some chick for a one-night stand?" To the most retarded of people, drug abuse, promiscuity & living life on the edge (including the edge of the law) is a better hobby than what decent people do & they feel everyone should be following their footsteps.
This is only the most radical case; the normal case is just people saying "Eww! You like ___?! WHY?!"
And you know what; life's all about knowing how to deal with problems, having tough skin & just letting things roll down your back. If anyone here's so concerned about being the outcast just because of your hobbies, tough luck; haters gonna hate. Just let it slide down your back, do what you want to do & do what's right morally, as a person. Cut them off if you have to, but keep your friends close if their attitude isn't that shitty.

Calm your balls, opinions are nice things to have. I like music from the 80's too, not just VGM.
