What's the proper thing to do when a friend shows you music and you hate it? My good buddy played some Twenty One Pilots for me the other day, I had never heard their music before and I just ripped into it. Afterwards I felt pretty guilty though, my friend doesn't have the best self-esteem and I didn't want to hurt his feelings. It was just awful though. What do you do?
"this is alright man, not really my thing tho"
pretty easy dude

But do you feel there's a point where you need to step in and explain how shitty something is? My friend doesn't listen to much music besides butt rock and metal, lately I've been trying to get him into more stuff but then he went and found twenty one pilots on reddit or something. I don't know, I felt like I had to save him before he embarrassed himself.

just ask yourself if you would rather have friends at all or be an ass about music

You're right. I'm probably just autistic.

being a dick isn't the best way to convince someone to give your stuff a go.

Embarrassed himself? Holy crap, nobody irl gives a shit about music taste, and even then 70% wouldnt even know who 21 pilots are and 25% would consider them cool, tone down your autism.
And if you want to show him something dont go "yours is shit mine is good", say "ey check this out" and do so with something good that is somewhat similar to his taste. Anyway just dont be a sperg about it.
i mean sometimes i listen to shit i don't like then a few years ago i'm into it so i'd probably make a comment like it reminds me of x, nice guitar or whatever.
