at my last job I was lucky to work almost entirely with people who were deep into music. my boss was really into classic rock, 80s and 90s stuff, and metal; another one of my coworkers used to play in local punk bands and she's really into a lot of goth, hardcore, post-punk, and metal. I made like seven mix CDs with a bunch of cool shit that they let me play in the store. exchanged a ton of recommendations with those guys.



they were all really into film too, especially horror. liked a lot of indie and foreign stuff and went to a lot of conventions.

i've mostly worked retail with a bunch of basic swag rap fuccbois but five of the managers of my most recent job formed/played in a folk punk band, and two of them were in a doom metal band that's on sputnik

Sputnik is an experiment gone awry at best.



Work recs were always the funnest. Found some great bands that way.

Kind of miss having my old slack-off job sometimes.

I liked to brag that the store where I worked was probably the only pop-up calendar store on the planet that had The Damned, Type O Negative, and Katatonia in regular rotation.

"Like a mall kiosk? Better have been plopped outside an Abercrombie and Fitch"



it was a kiosk last year, but it did so well that we got to rent out store space this year. no Abercrombie in that mall, but we were right across from H&M and Great American Cookies. befriended the manager at the latter and got a lot of free brownies.

Most people I work with listen to Ariana Grande, Backstreet Boys and Bon Jovi. Oh and top 10 hip-hop. This is why I always have Backstreet Boys and N'Sync on my phone at all times, so I can blend in with the normies, meanwhile I'm jamming generic metalcore on the sly.

They do. They absolutely do. Look across from you. That person has a 50% chance of knowing by heart every lyric from boy bands from 2000

I know the lyrics too. But they are just relics of a dark phase in American society

Yesss Kaiwaz!

My Bloody Valentine's Loveless is another big classic obviously. Plus Slowdive's more recent s/t is great too!

If he likes this he should listen more dream pop rather than more shoegaze.
