Times you were handed the aux cord/given control of the music at a social setting, and the results.
I always put on some Cab Calloway and people fucking love it

My best friend and I used to take over at most of the parties we went to in high school. People liked it.

He for some reason hates anime a lot. I don't mind about his opinion but if he finds out that the album I'm listening to is from an anime he just hates it entirely.
lol ppl thinking it's impossible to have both a social life and a strong interest in music/shitposting
put on big willie style, people started BUMPIN
i like to balance catchy/semi-mainstream hip hop and obscure ambient black metal so i always have stuff to play with normies and also with freaks like myself.
>>66105880
Yes but normally people separate the two unless the people you're meeting with has a very strong interest in music.
I'm Australian so I don't have to worry about that
I put on a blink 182 song and am hailed as the nostalgia king
I just play pc music mixes and nobody complains
>>66105957
I put on Blink 182 once and there were people telling me "this shit is so old anon, play something new".
>>66105551
I've played Weezer, LCD Soundsystem, and Franz Ferdinand before at parties and gotten away with it.
>>66105551
i really need to put together a normie playlist at some point
More importantly, what would you play if you were going on a dinner date with a qt?
>>66106032
talking heads - speaking in tongues
>>66106032
Pink Floyd - DSOTM or WYWH

>>66106186
american football?
>>66106181
Faggot
I used to smoke alot of weed with some friends that were in fraternities at Miss State U.
We would hotbox my car half the time and I would play some cool, accessible introspective spacey music and they would always love it.
I remember playing Ok CPU, Pink Floyd (stuff other than the Wall), Tame Impala and The Antlers. Maybe some Sigur Ros if everyone was high enough.
>>66106032
or the xx s/t
>>66106186
title fight or father john misty
>>66106181
Post pics
>>66106032
When a qt is in me car I will usually play some Modest Mouse, Father John Misty, something from In Rainbows, maybe something from Heaven Or Las Vegas if the sun is out.
I always just play Gucci Mane and people love it
I always get handed the aux cord at gatherings and shit, tend to do pretty well...
Like it's just knowing what your audience is. You may like Tibetan throat singing or whatever but unless you're hanging around with Tibetan monks don't play that shit. I've got friends who are into a relatively wide range of stuff and if you know enough about music you can always just tailor it. Fuck if you've got Spotify you can just load up a ready made playlist
>>66106110
No, I'm only interested in you as in current.
dont die on me

It's fine to like anime and play video games, but you should neck yourself if you ever consider telling people about it. It's like watching porn. Lots of people do, but you're a fucking weirdo if you let people know about it.

I put on Ramleh - A Return to Slavery (extremely harsh early power electronics) at a New Year's Eve party once because I thought it would be funny. I think everyone was too drunk to even process it as being music. Eventually a qt girl just went up and looked annoyed and changed it to some indie pop or something.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PR-UItEugrw
Also put on Burzum - Inn i slottet fra droemmen at a small gathering with loads of normie girls there but my friend quickly turned it off embarrassed at me because we were with his gf and his friends.
Fucking normies, man. smdh tbqh familam.

Nah. I was just being a socially awkward prick. Fully knew the reaction I would get.
I also managed to make out with a girl by putting on The Smiths at a normie party. Her bf was in the other room. An autist wouldn't do that or be able to do that.

I work with Mexicans who can't really speak English very well and yesterday one of them asked me in broken English how to send a video to someone. The video was porn and he was trying to put it in a group chat of other Mexicans who regularly share porn to each other while also having regular groupchat conversations.
Porn is now more normie than anime
>>66108161
I played Rustie, and people seemed to enjoy it. Later at the party, I bonded with this guy who then played squarepusher.
>>66108243
what do you mean now? porn has always been normie, you knownplayboy were sold in gas stations right
anime has always and will always be weird media for outcasts, at least in the western world
>>66108116
What's worse is the girl was dating a friend of a friend who was a really nice guy. She initiated it. I was just really drunk and lonely and couldn't control myself. I later found out that the girl was apparently a total bitch who planned to do it in advance in order to spite the guy for some reason.
I've actually done worse things than that and I can't justify myself. I often fantasize about fucking my friends' girlfriends and probably would if I could get away with it. I have a problem....
>calling it an aux cord

I work in a place where we get to pick the music (it's a coffee shop and there's just an iPod touch with Spotify connected to the store stereo system) and usually it goes pretty well. My coworkers have generally good and compatible taste in music.
>>66108359
yes your problem is you are sexually frustrated, at least that's what it sounds like. maybe hanging out with a girl you have regular sex with would help
>>66108197
Cheats tend to be poly people who are stuck in a habit of monogamous relationships
Or people with poor impulse control
>>66106032
helpless child
I work in a warehouse and we get to play music around the whole warehouse. I usually play Death grips for an hour or so then change it to more traditional hiphop. I dont really give a fuck if my co workers like it or not though because they already respect me and i could careless what the fuck they think about the music i listen to.
Just play something like Gravity X, Demon Days, or Venereology. You can't get much "normie" than this.
>>66108719
gravity x is the best normie driving music also kyuss
>>66106997
Should have put on Spikes you idiot.

>>66106126
and she would say "the name of the band is talking heads, now buy me another drink you fucking serf"
>>66107254
Dude literally all of my friends know I like anime and some of them like it themselves as well, one of them is even a girl (she's kind of a fatty though).
Plenty of "normies" like anime, what you have to be careful of that is the specific genre you like. I don't have a problem telling people I like entry-level shit like Death Note and Code Geass, but I'd be much more reluctant to divulge my love of moe slice of life "cute girls doing cute things" anime. Like I wouldn't want to have to explain the premise of Yuru Yuri to a normie.
>>66105551
I'd probably put on some Carpenter Brut or Perturbator.
I guess that's the closest to normie-accepted music I have.
>>66108779

There's no hope for them, even the ones that I thought would be interested in something other than Drake, Kendrick Lamar, and for some reason Chris Brown.
One of them is so out of touch that he doesn't like Kanye because of personality, claiming it's because of what he did to Taylor six fucking years ago.
>>66108161
I was on partial music duty at a Brazilian party last year; I played a lot of Todd Terje. I also threw some Daft Punk in there and a Metro Area track. My friend and I switched off intermittently because he's more of a party person and he mainly just listens to high-energy shit that plays well at parties
>>66109206
Oh yeah, and there's one friend who listens almost exclusively to whatever trance music is. That shit that is played 24/7 at the place he goes to. He goes to something like this almost every fucking night, as he documents it on his snapchat story.
He said he also listens to Wu-Tang Clan, but that's about all I got from him other than trance.
I always just play happy hardcore and they can get fucked.

I've put on music on plenty of occasions and nobody complains because I know how to gauge the situation.
I'm also confident and not a sperg so I'm good at making people feel stupid if they talk down about my music, which makes them shut the fuck up.
>>66105926
You have terrible taste. I bet you drink Mountain Dew and play video games
>>66106032
if i'm going out w a pleb tier girl, vampire weekend and lana del rey, if i can stomach it
if i'm going out w a cooler girl, probably galaxie 500 and ty segallll
At parties I usually put on things I enjoy but are also appropriate
stuff like:
Gold Panda
Four Tet
J Dilla
Justice
etc...
I love Ben Frost but you won't see me putting it on at a party, just don't be dumb and you won't have a problem.

Guess what, buddy? You fell for the old "it's not you, it's me" trick. Had the same shit happen to me word for word and in the same order.
Hate to tell you this but in a few weeks or months she'll be with someone else if she wasn't before already.
That kind of reaction screams guilt to me
>dorm basement with like 5 other friends
>basement is used for shows sometimes so there's sound all wired up
>aux plugged into my laptop and there are a couple mics too.
>everyone is really drunk and high and we're just yelling stupid skrrt skrrt adlibs and shitty couplets over the silk road assassins ep
>some prospective students showed up and had a rap battle over club contstructions vol. 7
>probably one of my favorite nights tbf

Played Sister Ray and then Interstellar Overdrive on a church bus. Everyone got very quiet.
I played Some Crayon Pop at my sister graduation party. Lol I got kicked off the aux for some reason. Fucking losers
>>66106997
i feel blessed because i showed my clique death grips and they all love them now. whenever we hang out and dont know what to listen to, death grips is our straight go-to
>>66111068
desu i saw skrillex with some normie friends and his dj set was pretty fun. he started playing circle of life right between some dance tracks, it was hilarious
>>66110099
that's a cool story, man
>>66105551
I always avoid such situations with a shitty excuse. Not that my taste is too edgy or something. I just learned that I listen to things on my own terms and don't care for most normie strangers opinions. Finally I just realized that I do not listen to anything that is fit for a party in the conventional sense. People want to dance and talk how catchy some tune is. Kanye, Radiohead, Death Grips, My Bloody Valentine, Swans.. that's not for me, let those frat jerks have their fingers. I'd rather just sit at home with my original lime wire downloads of Papa Roach, KoЯn and P.O.D. Good music. Good times. Fuck mainstream

>F1 hands me the aux
>"The usual?"
>"Play something normal." Says F2
>F1 and I share mutual confused look
>"Like?"
>"I dunno, just like, normal music." Says F2, completely in his knowing that we don't roll this way, GF looks pleased
>Look to F1 whose just looking straight ahead at this point, beyond anger
>Decide to play my personal music, Alternative Rock mostly
>Silence the entire drive there, other than F1 and me shootin the shit for a little while
>At one point after we arrived I overhear F2 and his girlfriend
>"Wow F2, Anon's music was kinda shitty... Can I bump on the way back?"
>"Yeah sure babe, I'll ask F1."
>Tell F1, he just shakes his head
>Later we pile in to drive back
>"Hey F1, hand me the aux will ya? Gf wants to play."
>Simply replies "Nah."
>F2 puzzled, GF annoyed
>"Why?"
>"To normal."
>F1 cracks a grin and I laugh, F2 annoyed and GF lowkey pissed off, trying to hide it
>Put my Alternative music back on and me and F1 rock out to it most of the way back
>F2 and GF sit in the back, silent and pissed the entire trip back
Yeah we don't hang with them anymore

ew wtf anon she broke up with you because, like that other anon sad, you're a pansy. girls like it when you treat them like shit. it sounds like you were way too clingy and dependent. seriously just stop trying. if you do end up having to interact with her, be an asshole and act like you're better than her. she sounds like a bitch anyways.
I almost never take control of the music unless I'm just chilling in a relaxed setting with a few friends. I don't like much pop/party bullshit, and most of the stuff I do like isn't good for a party atmosphere anyway. I'd much rather listen to something I don't like than force everyone else around to listen to something they don't like.

I work part time at a McDonalds on backshift and I always have the music. I figured out what the managers all like. I have playlists for rap, electronic, raggae, indie rock, and classic rock. I mix good shit in with popular shit and they always get interested in the shit they don't know.
Of course, autists from /mu/ would never compromise.

I let a dude rip my music library HD at a party in college, and he put on Close to Edge. The room seemed to enjoy it. Granted this was at a weed dealer's party.
He then put on Black Math Horseman's Wyllt. The room got visibly uncomfortable to which he said, "I think we're the only two here who like this."

you actually are able to say a lot.
Just greet her very friendly when you see her standing around with her first friends on college. do it every now and then, always appear very empathic. their friends will ask her about your connection and she will have to tell them. when you keep this appearance she wont be able to shrug you off since her friendswould think she was acting awkward.

I was on a boat w my dad and his friend and they wanted me to put on something so I put on Somewhere in Time bc they grew up w that shit and they loved it. Idk if y'all are legitimately autistic or something, but it's pretty easy to put something on that people will like if you have decent tastes and can identify others' tastes
>>66106032
Penderecki's sonorist works, of course, that'd make the date feel more intense.
>>66107296
>>66107536
On an unrelated note to music, is there a "Back to 4chan" version on tumblr and reddit since i never browse them.
on topic, I usually put on something from 2000s Tony Hawk era games to bring the nostalgia out in the car, for parties however, wait, what's a party, i've never been to one

Got the aux cord at a house party, played DS2 EVOL and instrumentals from metro boomin. Shit was lit and I played that one with the "don't you open up that window" lyric.

I used to work at Subway and every time my boss was in he would put on this fucking Eagles compilation CD and go on about how it was "real" music and all new music was complete shit. Dude was a fucking moron.

Happened about 6 hours ago.
99% of the time I don't even bother and listen to whatever everyone else is playing, but I'm getting real fucking sick of that same god damn sound. 808s and hat triplets every song.
I need a change of pace to break the monotony.

There's always a bunch of guys in these threads saying, "Oh just read the mood and put on some accessible shit, you'd have to be an autist to fail at this :^)"
I don't think you guys understand how normie some of the people we deal with are. It's not just a matter of matching the mood and their taste, it's that they actually don't want ANYTHING they don't already know.
Ex. I don't want to deal with the same dadrock every year with my extended family on boxing day, but no one can change it either, not even to some similar rock. All my uncles and older cousins bitch if they don't get something they already have the lyrics memorized to so they can drunkenly sing along.
Sometimes the only way to win is to not play.
>>66131817
maybe it´s some sort of survival mechanism. only trust artists you have experience of and which everyone knows and has accepted. after all evolution is about path of least resistance which ultimately supports falling for shit, old, familiar memes.

I bought 50 random records of dance/party music once for this situation. I just throw them on when I throw parties. Never got a complaint. I don't put music on my phone or have an mp3 player, so I don't play music for people at other people's parties.
>>66106032
NSYNC in the car, Monteverdi when we got back to my place.

You literally cannot get more normie than this guy. Never branches out his taste in any medium. Likes complete shit romcoms and brocomedies. Thinks 13 Hours is the greatest movie he has ever seen. Has only ever read genre fiction and star wars extended universe shit.
I mean he can like what he wants to like, but there is no inquisitive features about him at all. He never branches out and looks for anything new or interesting. Everything has to be familiar. Can never have a conversation with him that isn't video game/ sports/ shallow politics/ or banter. I can't imagine living like that. What a completely unfulfilling existence.
everyone in this thread:
>lol bro listen
>u gotta play normie music when ur with normies to fit in haha
this attitude is so fucking stupid. pretty much all of my friends have good taste in music and i meet people who like underground music all the time.
you guys don't know anyone who has similar taste in music to you because you're too afraid to admit what kind of music you actually like. you could be sitting next to someone on the bus who likes the same music as you but you'll never know because when they ask what you're listening to, you lie and say it's Miley Cyrus or something so they won't judge you.
