12.16.12 | Lol, I understand your problem. I hardly ever tell people that my favourite genre is emo or most of
them think I'm some scene kid =/. Ahhh the ignorance... I just say I listen to indie-rock. I don't
bother explaining post-rock, slowcore,... Most people will not know what you're talking about. |
Trebor.
12.16.12 | I usually just say "a lot" |
Keyblade
12.16.12 | i tell them my favorite bands are oral fistfuck and anal cunt |
Trebor.
12.16.12 | but yeah most normal jackoffs assume everyone listens to one or two genres and that "rock music" is a justifiable term when describing taste |
ThroneOfAgony
12.16.12 | Yeah I just say a lot or Alternative |
CK
12.16.12 | I typically have three responses:
1. I can tolerate anything but country (sometimes I say "with the exception of Ryan Adams")
2. Death Metal and Indie Rock
3. Metal |
thumbcrusher
12.16.12 | "some metal, some mellower stuff" |
necromechanical
12.16.12 | i usually just say metal and hardcore or everything but country lol |
MoosechriS
12.16.12 | I usually just say i listen to mainly metal but i'll listen to most things. If you say i'm really into black metal and then have to explain it to someone who has no idea what your on about, you usually finish explaining only to have the person look at you like you've got 8 heads. So just saying i like metal kind of avoids any wierdness. |
cagedescending
12.16.12 | "lots of stuff. depends on my mood"
if they actually give a shit they'll inquire further |
bach
12.16.12 | I just say ska and emo. But, then comes the redundant "Oh, like My Chemical Romance!." |
Shuyin
12.16.12 | ah the usual stuff..
cannibal corpse |
Chortles
12.16.12 | yeah i usually say a lot |
drewcordova
12.16.12 | Usually say that I listen to just about every kind of western music with the exception of country. |
d00derz
12.16.12 | i just usually say a lot. when i say metal people ask stuff like "oh disturbed?", hardcore i get "bullet for my valentine", and rock "one direction" it's extremely frustrating so i generally leave it to interpretation because people are just stupid. |
SeaAnemone
12.16.12 | lol at all the losers saying "errything but country!!" ... classic facebook "About Me" section
I just don't bring the topic up ever, only talk about music when other people are talking about specific artists i.e. some friends are really into dave matthews type stuff others into classic rock, my roommate knows a lot of edm-ish things, it's whateva |
taxidermist
12.16.12 | Awesome list.
|
Minus.
12.16.12 | I say I listen to everything that is good. |
demigod!
12.16.12 | "lots of stuff" i try to keep it vague unless they start asking about bands |
Calc
12.16.12 | I just say rock music and if they ask "like who" I say "you havent heard of them." |
VheissuCrisis
12.16.12 | 'Lots of stuff that doesn't usually make the radio' |
Eclecticist
12.16.12 | I say everything. Then they are like "you aren't one of those guys that say they like everything but really don't, right?" and then I start listing off genres and they believe me.
Plus I post an array of music on facebook so it confirms my tastes for everyone. |
Trebor.
12.16.12 | One time this scene kid asked me what I listen to and I replied with "Gregorian Chant" and he was like lol what is that a djent band? |
cirq
12.16.12 | black people music |
DamnVanne
12.16.12 | I usually tell people that I don't like rock or metal, but I like everything in between |
Calc
12.16.12 | friend-----"oh you don't like rap or hip-hop?"
me------"oh like it, just not as much as "rock" but I guarantee I like better hip-hop then you"
friend----"yeah right...."
"Turns on Tha Carter IV" |
americanohno
12.16.12 | lol at all the losers saying "errything but country!!" [2]
I usually just say that I listen to white guy with guitar music, and that's not cuz I'm racist it's just cuz I'm afraid of black people.
|
DamnVanne
12.16.12 | Youtube via Sputnik is literally the only place I've ever heard ok hip-hop. I try to open-minded because I know not all hip-hop licks asshole, but from a pragmatic perspective it's safe to assume that if I am about to encounter hip-hop it's going to blow. It's quite a shame too, because damn near 100% of people (even white people) in my town listen exclusively to hip-hop. |
RetroSpective
12.16.12 | Everything. |
RiffOClock
12.16.12 | 1. collage-bient
2. harsh electronics
3. noiseviolence |
DotEight
12.16.12 | Yeah I always just say metal. Now that's a really broad term since it can range through several decades, but whatever. They get the idea. |
WeepingBanana
12.16.12 | stuf uve nevr herd of lol haha |
XingKing
12.16.12 | I listen to hardcore, skramz, post rock and emo but I typically tell people I listen to hardcore or aggressive music since no one understands anything. |
DotEight
12.16.12 | "stuf uve nevr herd of lol haha"
My ex girlfriends would ask me "What bands do you like?", and I'd say them, and they'd go "Huh, never heard of them".
Like no shit. |
silentstar
12.17.12 | it really bothers me when people say everything, because I can bet you that's not true. there are but a few people who could actually claim to indulging in all sorts of genres and enjoying it (which is different from appreciating)
I usually just say alternative. |
XingKing
12.17.12 | Usually when people say everything, they mean everything that's on the radio.
One of my favorite things to do is ask people to scroll through my ipod and tell me how many bands they recognize. Most never make it past 5. Why am I so hip and obscure guys? |
climactic
12.17.12 | if they know nothing about music i just say metal and rock
if they kinda know good music ill say death metal, progressive, alternative
if they actually know music ill just tell them fo realzies |
StuckOnLuna
12.17.12 | Heavy music. |
ZilbelPing
12.17.12 | I just say "a lot of stuff" or "a lot of things". If they ask "like what?", I just reply with "bands like _____". I'm constantly surprised some people recognize some of the bands I namedrop.
I never reply with "you've never heard of them" cause that's being a little prick. |

12.17.12 | "Yeah I always just say metal. Now that's a really broad term since it can range through several decades, but whatever. They get the idea."
"I generally just tell them metal. I know that's a very general term that can be connected with a few decades, but they usually get the idea."
reported. |
XingKing
12.17.12 | Why not let them touch it? They should feel honored that someone as musically superior as myself would even speak to them about music. HUZAH!! |
DeadBay256
12.17.12 | I usually just say hardcore. Then people say "Oh, Screamo?" and i just say yes. That pisses me off so bad for some reason. |
eleventhsun
12.17.12 | I say everything then I don't have to explain it. |
XingKing
12.17.12 | It pisses you off because idiots think screamo is anything with harsh vocals. This girl at works does that to me anytime I put music on whether it be soft or instrumental. "Oh, is that screeaammooo? Ugh!" and I just wanna be like "Bitch, you fired. Get the fuck out". |
Trebor.
12.17.12 | Next time someone asks I'm just going to say Pixies - Doolittle |
bach
12.17.12 | Is that a djent band? |
eleventhsun
12.17.12 | I'm not gonna lie, I'm not sure if I even know what screamo is. |
Trebor.
12.17.12 | It's a fucking genre of music like death metal or jazz |
XingKing
12.17.12 | Why do you exist, Dixie? Why? |
eleventhsun
12.17.12 | Obviously, I was hoping for some examples. I figured someone born in the 90s would grace us with their infinite genre wisdom. |
Trebor.
12.17.12 | "What is a genre, Trebor?"
I believe it's whether you're male or female or a tranny or whatever |
bach
12.17.12 | What's music? |
eleventhsun
12.17.12 | This is starting to remind me of a Louis CK bit. |
Trebor.
12.17.12 | Saeita - A Retrospective
Off Minor - Some Blood
Rites Of Spring - End on End
Orchid - Gatefold
Gospel - the Moon is a dead world

12.17.12 | Screamo is an offshoot of emo and hardcore with dissonance and aggression and chaos and brief track lengths sometimes and sometimes they're long and sometimes it's mixed with post rock and sometimes it's mixed with more noodley shit and sometimes it's really heavy and sometimes it's like chillaxed and stuff |
bach
12.17.12 | You just singlehandedly named every one of my jams. |
eleventhsun
12.17.12 | Thanks! |
Trebor.
12.17.12 | screamo is basically post-hardcore but not shitty and not a lot of clean vocals
Most bands have a lot of dynamics, constantly changing between fast heavy distorted parts to slow soft and clean parts |
XingKing
12.17.12 | I described it better. |
bach
12.17.12 | Jeff Buckley - Grace |
Funeralopolis
12.17.12 | Most kinds of music, a little hip-hop, a little indie music but mostly metal and its sub genres. |
XingKing
12.17.12 | But you are |
Trebor.
12.17.12 | Most post-hardcore does nothing for me
|
DotEight
12.17.12 | "Most post-hardcore does nothing for me"
Exact same for me. |
Cygnatti
12.17.12 | pop punx, but the only thing anyone talks about is hip-hop. :/ |
Trebor.
12.17.12 | A lot of you guys seem to have one genre you could answer with, I guess I could just say "punk" since alt rock/indie, post-punk, some post-rock and scramz fall under it |
Trebor.
12.17.12 | Actually I would feel really terrible just saying one genre cuz I couldn't leave out hip hop or metal or what not |
bach
12.17.12 | ^ yup. |
Cygnatti
12.17.12 | alt/indie is the biggest thing in my pie chart
I don't like saying indie because then they ask me about like gotye or some shit. |
XingKing
12.17.12 | They said most, retard. Go away. |
DotEight
12.17.12 | "Dot eight you say post hardcore does nothing for you, yet you rated glassjaw a 5..."
Keyword, MOST. I hate when people try to argue semantics.
|
Trebor.
12.17.12 | Yeah Glassjaw is one of the exceptions, they have a lot of alt metal influences too
|
Trebor.
12.17.12 | 20 isn't all that many |
eleventhsun
12.17.12 | I just like music. |
DotEight
12.17.12 | "You have at least 20 post hardcore bands rated above 3.5...I'd say that is contradictory worthy, big buddy."
Compared to how many I've listened to, and how many are out there in general. 20 isn't shit. Why don't you stop trying to be a prick. |
Spag
12.17.12 | i say "mostly metal" |
Keyblade
12.17.12 | i just say pretty much everything, i don't discriminate...but metal is my favorite genre. |
KjSwantko
12.17.12 | "Metal" |
Sapient.
12.17.12 | usually alternative metal and early alternative rock |
DeadBay256
12.17.12 | I listen to Northlane at work, which isn't too bad because I work in room all to myself. But, if someone walks in, and are like "WTF are you listening to I always respond with "The Devil". They leave pretty quickly |
Keyblade
12.17.12 | yea northlane does sound pretty evil |
Trebor.
12.17.12 | have you even heard death/black metal |
CaptainHadouken
12.17.12 | A lot of stuff. Sums it up pretty well. |
evilford
12.17.12 | Metal |
DotEight
12.17.12 | I mean I like Northlane as everyone on here knows, but that's not evil in the least bit. The lyrics prove that.
Black/death metal have the worst lyrics in that perspective. |
Keyblade
12.17.12 | sarcasm fellas |
DeadBay256
12.17.12 | I don't think Northlane sounds that evil. It's just most people where I'm from (northeast Alabama) have never heard anything like that so it freaks them the fuck out. |
Trebor.
12.17.12 | evil is folk taxonomy anyway |
Deviant.
12.17.12 | blog hop and postwave |
Tikicobra
12.17.12 | I usually say alternative rock, or indie rock, even though I mostly listen to emo, hardcore and post-hardcore. My friends are incredibly stupid so using anything but the most broad of terms is useless with them. |
MO
12.17.12 | dm, osdm, classical, jazz etc |
tacos n stuff
12.17.12 | lol i usually say everything but country =P |
DamnVanne
12.17.12 | I prefer to just say, 'rock and stuff' and then talk about whatever type of music present company is into. I can pretend to take seriously grunge, indie rock, deathcore, hip-hop, folk metal and pop. Fun fact: most people who like to talk a lot about hip-hop only know like 60 words, and can only use 9 of those words to describe music. |
XingKing
12.17.12 | I can't take any music seriously. I'm a prick. |
