I've done this a few dozen times and it's always something like "oh, uh foo fighters", "country", "everything but country and rap", some shitty edm.
Every fucking time. Is it really so rare to go beyond this type of bullshit?
I always just ask if they have a favorite album of the year so far. If they don't I end the conversation.

There is nothing more embarrassing that claiming you like an artist that no one has ever heard of.
>That look they give you
>When they ask you to explain who/what they are
Asking what music someone likes should be considered as rude a question as "whens the last time you fucked?" or "how big is your cock?"

>"what kind of music do you like"
>techno

I usually ask about radiohead even though i'm not a fanboy.
If they don't even know radiohead it's a lost fucking cause and I swallow the awkwardness willingly.
>>65601758
I remember I used this once and the guy said he didn't on the basis of ideological differences with Thom Yorke that he wouldn't share. I was confused.
Let me guess, OP. Are Radiohead you're favorite band?
>>65601491
I would end it if someone was too pleb to ask that...
How long have you been on /mu/? A month?
>>65601854
He was saying that he is not a libcuck like Thom.
When it comes to normies i just agree with them and move on with my life
>>65601876
Radiohead is definitely not my favorite band, they are bretty nice though.
I would say my favorites are Built to Spill, Can, Gang Starr
>>65602002
None. I try to avoid the hype whenever possible.
Now, IF I had to choose, it would be either Life by Knower or the Hiroshima Field Recordings
