>"hey anon, what kind of music do you like?"
>I-I like [insert popular band]
>"me too! that's so cool!"
>mfw I actually like anime OPs and listen to Oratorio exclusively
>I like all kinds of music
All I can ever really say
>>27378562
My other go-to is pretending I'm not at all interested in music, which seems to satisfy the normalfags
>>27378544
I live in the bible belt. When at work, I regularly listen to and sing viking metal, thrash metal, and the occasional death metal. All of my co-workers think I'm a Satanist. It's hilarious.
>>27378630
Are you me?
I've been listening to mostly black metal exclusively for a few years now
>>27378673
I'm obviously not you.
Or.
Just maybe.
Quick!
Think of a color!
The majority of music I listen to is in Japanese but if anyone starts the conversation I'll just discuss western bands/musicians with them. I don't really listen to current popular music but saying something like Prince or Belle & Sebastian is easy enough and doesn't sound too weird.
"hey anon, what kind of music do you like?"
"hipster trash mostly"
"XD"
>>27378630
how do people listen to metal without cringeing
sometimes i feel like im the only one here who likes this kind of shit
everyone either listens to anime music, vidya music, or some shitty hipster /mu/shit genre
>>27378544
Pretty much only listen to hip-hop. I have a playlist for when there is a person I don't really know well or know they dont like rap, I play it when in the car or get the aux
I get extremely nervous for no reason when people ask about my taste. It's the closest I ever get to legit locking up.
I don't even listen to anything embarrassing. But whenever someone asks me "what kind of music do you like?" or "what games do you play", I legitimately freeze out of fear. I don't know. I don't like to tlak about myself.
I'm super passionate about vidya soundtracks and their composers, but I never talk about it
I remix and cover vidya music too but just keep it all to myself
>>27378544
>be a amerifat
>first heard the soviet anthem when i was 10
>get interested and listened to nothing but red army choir
>dont want people thinking im a commie
>>27378758
Funny, oldfags asked that when some jackoff made electric guitars.
>>27378544
good thing no one cares about that at all irl
>>27378544
>sea shanties
>popular shit on Osu!, mostly weeb shit
I usually say i don't listen to music, or only vidya OSTs
>>27378758
It's some of the whitest music out there anon...
>>27378758
I just appreciate the amount of skill most metal musicians have when they play their instruments, like when I listen to this all I can think of is how good the pianist/synth player and guitarist are
https://youtube.com/watch?v=Oj4ArAaAZ8g
I'm really not into metal but sometimes you can just tell when there's a decent musician
>>27378544
Why would you hide your music taste?
I have kinda obscure taste and people still seem to care
>>27378544
>I just listen to whatever on the radio
I like oasis a lot
if people are genuinely interested, I'll tell them about mark kozelek's stuff
that's as far as anyone will get though
"I don't like country or pop, most everything else is alright."
>>27378910
Not bad at all. Makes me think of Nobuo's band.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hFYcxD0SXac
>>27378544
i always tell them electronic and rap. works out fine everytime
>tfw unironic love of julian lynch is probably my only hipster cred and i am fine with that
>>27378544
>"hey anon, what kind of music do you like?"
>uh...doom metal
>metal? cool!
>y-yeah
>do you like iron maiden/metallica/etc?
>nope
>what bands do you like?
>w-well there's candlemass, reverrend bizarre(...)
>never heard of them
>be me
>really like death metal/metalcore
>not part of the subculture just like the genre
>listening to music in front of classroom
>grill that used to be in my class comes up to me

>"cool can I listen a bit"
>shit
>hand over headphones
>was literally playing the most brutal fucking track (lamb of god or something)
>she visibly cringes and gives me a look of pity
>we go into our respective classes
from now on I pretend that the most hardcore stuff I listen to is Fallout Boy
>>27378544
I just say classical and jazz, which is true, but not entirely.
I'm actually into prog rock, Canterbury scene, RIO, Zappa (he's his own genre), downtempo, no wave, noise, etc.
>>27378544
>be me in highschool years ago
>playing music on my phone while in culinary arts class

I try to hide it, but sometimes it slips out
>>27378791
> my comment is not orginal
>>27378544
I used to tell them straight up something offensive or edgy like nerco when I was a young boy.
>>27378950
>not liking country
Acoustic guitars make me hard
>be a fan of progressive rock
>cant really talk about all the fucking awesome 18 minutes songs you love so you just have to say "pink floyd" and point them to "wish you were here"
I just tell people I like Metal and I automatically become "interesting" because I'm black.
Who /emo/ here?
I don't even discuss music online. No one has interesting opinions and you can find anything by sifting through tag systems and what not.
>>27379186
do you like Oceano?
lead shouter/growler whatever is black
>>27379173
WHATCHU SAYIN YOU LIKE DREAM THEATER OR SOME SHIT, WHITEBOI?!I love Dream Theater.
>>27379186
What bands do you listen to, I've never met a black person who likes metal t.bh
>>27379210
I got so excited when I read 'Dream' because I thought the second word might be 'Evil.' I am disappoint.

Who /classical/ here?
https://youtu.be/XXIu0MRuIQU
>>27378544
They probably think I am a pleb since I've been bumping young thug unironically for a month now
>>27379209
I'm not into the growling shit. I tried listening to Attila for a while, because they also rap so the novelty factor is extremely high.
>>27379218
Just going down my iTunes:
>Vanden Plas
>Trivium
>Symphony X
>Soilwork
>Silent Force / Royal Hunt
>Scar Symmetry
>Queensryche
>Avantasia
>Dream Theater
>Disarmonia Mundi
>Dark Moor
>Circus Maximus
>Kamelot
I have instrumental guys too:
>Marty Friedman
>Joe Satriani
>Steve Vai
>Yngwie Malmsteen
I don't talk about my music tastes with anyone, even online. My tastes don't really fit in with any specific social group anywhere, I just like whatever songs I like.>tfw I'm one of the few people who genuinely likes happy hardcore
>>27379333
Although I listen to the more hardcore end of the spectrum I respect you for not falling for that rap meme shit kids listen to now days
>>27378782
Me too, it is pretty shitty because people tend to be more interested if you're trying to hide it, or so it seems to me
>>27378544
No I don't hide it because I don't like shit tier music.
I don't like normie music and when I tell them what I like they usually have no idea what im talking about but idc.
>>27379333
check out the "district of misery" video just for shits and giggles
you won't understand him, but he's singing about a post-apocalyptic landscape where its inhabitants are forced to choose cannibalism or death
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aGS8vvQKg14
>>27378544
I do that. Bitches don't get ambient electronic music.

>>27378544
>tfw all I listen to is autistic vidya music and I can't say what I like without sounding retarded
>>27378562
This is all I ever say when asked. It makes the conversation more awkward, but its better than saying what I actually like. If they ask for examples or say something like "like what" or ask me for something specific, I always lose my spaghetti
I have the music taste of an edgy 90's chick, so it's nothing really worth hiding. Hell, I blast it from my room with an open window on Saturday mornings, and nobody seems to mind.

I was in a play and all the guys are in the changing room fucking around. Some Chad is playing generic female vocalist dubstep and everybody hates it. I really wanted to put my music on even the normie tier shit but I was just to scared of them judging me. They would have asked me to "turn that shit" off.
>>27379467
Turn it all the way to eleven, throw up the horns, and mosh with yourself. If you're going to be judged, at least make it worth something.
>>27379459
Whoops. The 4th one was supposed to be Splendora.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9jcwIyZELIY
>>27379426
Not the guy you quoted but I love blasting this shit if I have to roll through the hood for any reason
>>27379426
I'm no stranger to metal bands fronted by black dudes, I also like Sevendust and Skindred.
It's nice to see there's more, though.
>>27378673
Just listened Filosofem and am really liking it. Any recommendations as to where I should go next? I prefer the more ambient aspect of it.
>>27379377
Well, I'm not a kid. I'm 29. Other black people have been giving me shit for it my whole life.
>>27379624
try drudkh
>>27378782
>What's your favorite movie anon?
>What's your favorite band?
>What's your favorite...
pls no
I hate these questions too. I have nothing to be embarrassed about either, I just hate trying to narrow down the things I like to one favorite. I think i take these questions too seriously in casual conversations.
>tfw I listen to any songs of any genre if I like how they sound
>I could care less about the lyrics
>>27379637
I'll give it a whirl, thank you.
>>27379637
>>27379624
