i played death grips for my mom and she liked it

>we're all dancing like retards to random pop shit they're putting on

>I get a little over-confident because I'm really in the moment and I'm like "yeah yeah sure"

>song keeps going and I make a weak attempt to defend it, "I-It's Captain Beefheart, he's one of my favorite musicians...this is one of his more accessible songs"
>my brother probably feels second-hand embarrassment because he knows how much I love Beefheart, he actually listened to TMR in full once and he concluded that it sounded like "a symphony of dying animals"
>realize that no one else can dance to this so I turn it off and let them go back to their pop tunes
>sulk out of the room and put headphones on for the rest of the night
>>66155798
wtf. Sure 'Nuff 'n' Yes, I Do isn't even that weird, right?
you gotta start with older music and ease into weirder stuff
>>66155798
That's pretty cringey anon. Would you also play ambient music at a club?
>>66155607
Never understood this meme. Are they implying the music was so bad they had an accident? Or that the music was so fire the car burst into flames too?
>work in a kitchen
>chef is a dead head

>coworker 1 listens to doom metal

>coworker 3 will literally listen to Justin Timberlake and associated acts 6 hours out of the day
I'll put on AnCo and get weird looks.
>>66156091
Music was fire. I guess you don't remember that awful meme in which white people would say things about their mixtapes being 'fire?'

Jesus dude you need to assert yourself more. It's your Birthday party, you should be able to play what you like.
>>66163001
I don't understand. King Geedorah is so inoffensive. How the hell could someone have such an adverse reaction to it?
>>66163486
That's exactly what I told them and they agreed but were all "well yeah but something more upbeat and less hipster" so I put on The Strokes feeling like it would be a good middle ground... Apparently not
>>66164745
Yeah, The Strokes isn't that strange. Should've been fine, dunno what's up with your pals.

When me and my friends get drunk I usually take over on the aux, usually play The Stooges or something similar. Played Death Grips once and they liked it.. but when they play music it's just mainstream rap crap.

Imagine being the kind of person who writes + posts this
I've been super into Animal Collective since I had the Great Branching Out in 2009. Everyone I'm friends with now is very aware of this, and they tease me about it, whatever. Most of us like similar music outside of this, so it's not really a big deal. But I have to always listen to my anco privately. But I like to share with people, I like forming a community of bonds, whatever, you know?
So here I think, ok, I love this music, and a lot of other people do too, right? So clearly there's something there. And I know my friends love dancing. I have seen them. And I don't usually get to dance to my Animal Collective, even though it is awesome whenever I do. And my birthday is coming up, so I'm like-- I am never allowed to do stuff like this, but if it's my birthday, I can throw whatever party I want! And people will want to celebrate with me, so they'll come, and then I will show them how fun it is to dance to Animal Collective and we can have a cool moment of togetherness.
So my roommates agree, whatever, I invite people, I borrow some good speakers, I make a bumpin playlist of anco's best dance songs. I am filled with joy as I'm making it because of how much shit is packed into this music and how I can't wait to give people the opportunity to feel the way I feel, or at least give it a shot and like have a fun little dance party where all you gotta do is move your body how you want.
The friends arrive, we Inebriate, whatever-- there's some chill music playing, I have a short little Event, and when the Event is done, I turn off some of the lights and turn on the anco dance playlist and I start dancing.
No one else does.

My friend and I play edgy emo music for the sole purpose of pissing off another friend. We played "Welcome To The Black Parade" and he lost his shit.
>>66155798
There's some dudes down at the local record store that I trade/share vinyl with and I had them put on Safe As Milk, telling them how great it was etc. . Similar result. These guys are really into 60's psych and shit like that, but literally as soon as the needle dropped they looked really uncomfortable. Stopped it after the first track and said nothing.

If you want something good for parties put music that has a decent bass, a good chorus and a ear warming instrumental. Avoid playing songs that is not rap, pop and rnb.

Dude, just take any dad rock, current rock, 90s-1000s hip hop, or older/non-top charts pop and presto, you're good. Honestly it shouldn't be very hard to use one's judgement to think of what normies won't find appealing. Just pick generic, well-liked popular stuff from some fairly recent generation and you're probably fine.
