Feather 06.18.15	:^)
Grand 06.18.15	Mostly Pop music dear fellow
Relinquished 06.18.15	good music
wwf 06.18.15	shitty music exclusively
Feather 06.18.15	Thank you for all of the help friends! Great responses!!1
YakNips 06.18.15	i usually tell people 'yknow the regular stuff, harsh drones, experimental noise, tibetan anti-folk, pop, reverberated hitler speeches, that sort of thing'
Grand 06.18.15	My dear fellow...
Feather 06.18.15	@yaknips I sometimes jsut list off obscure genres that I know they will know nothing about to just derail the conversation
Calc 06.18.15	I say everything but country. and they say, aww but country is good I love country. and I say, yeah I know.
Feather 06.18.15	@Calc to the average person though that implies that you listen to the radio top 40 rock songs, rap and EDM...
Gameofmetal 06.18.15	i usually say post blackened sludge doom death, with core influences and they understand immediately
Muppelope 06.18.15	See I always counter by asking them what they listen to, and then I tell them what I like and don't like about their taste in music. If they have really bad taste in music that'll usually shut them up, and if our taste is similar I know I can have a good conversation with them.
Feather 06.18.15	@Gameofmetal I'll help you out, just say "Metal" next time. Judging by your chart that is literally all you listen to
Feather 06.18.15	@Muppelope that sounds like I'd have to harshly criticize anyone who attempts to talk about music with me then :(
Grand 06.18.15	'I'll help you out, just say "Metal" next time. Judging by your chart that is literally all you listen to' Oh dear...
Muppelope 06.18.15	@Feather yeah, but if they get too deeply offended by that then they probably wouldn't like me anyway.
DikkoZinner 06.18.15	Little bit of this...little bit of that.
Feather 06.18.15	Eh, basically everyone I have ever known and been friends with has not listened to any similar music to me. Music is a very isolated activity for me generally. Most people I am friends with listen to strictly garbage (yeah thats an opinion, but it is a correct opinion). For example my roommate this year only played top 40 EDM songs on repeat all day.
trvvve 06.18.15	i usually answer with a deeply growled "satan"
Feather 06.18.15	@trvvve now thats an idea! thx
trvvve 06.18.15	that scared the shit out of some girls from 6th grade lels
Muppelope 06.18.15	@Feather yeah I only have like 2 or 3 friends with good taste in music but the rest know that I think they have shit taste in music. A lot of my friends like Muse though, for some reason. Of course, they like the trash new stuff better than their actual good albums, but w/e.
MoosechriS 06.18.15	I usually just say "black metal", i usually get no follow up questions
titanslayer 06.18.15	I don't see the point of getting into specific genres unless they actually know something about that kind of music so I just say 'metal, punk, some electronic, and some folk.' and if they're interested I go into more detail, but most people don't really care to ask more
Feather 06.18.15	@Muppelope Yeah I know what you mean. I have two friends with great music taste, but both are also very different from me with only some overlap.
Muppelope 06.18.15	I've said black metal before (even though I really don't listen to much black metal at all) and the chick thought I meant metal for black people (don't even know what that would be,) and she asked if I liked rap too...
Feather 06.18.15	tbh many of the people I am friends with would probably respond "Blink 182 and Fall Out Boy" if you asked them what I listen to. It is so far from true, but in their mind that is the kind of stuff I am into. They may say "screamo" as well.
WellFedWhiteMale 06.18.15	I just tell them I listen to stuff influenced by drugs and booze. Everything is influenced by drugs and booze (Even SSD)!
AmericanFlagAsh 06.18.15	"I like songs about death and depression" is my answer To throw them off
Feather 06.18.15	@Muppelope that was a really upsetting story. @titanslayer I know what you mean, but I feel like when I respond "punk" or something like that, people want examples of what I mean (even though they probably don't know a single band of that genre) so I inevitably have to give a generic example of something that I really dont listen to.
Feather 06.18.15	Flag, sadly that really wouldnt be too much of a lie haha
Muppelope 06.18.15	Yeah if you asked a lot of my friends what I listen to theyd say screamo too.
Muppelope 06.18.15	And then they do that mock whisper-scream thing.
Feather 06.18.15	It makes me a little sad :(
MeatSalad 06.18.15	I smear my face in my own bloody shit and call em a shit eating pleb for asking me such an annoyingly vague and non specific question
Muppelope 06.18.15	Might want to see a doctor about the bloody shit thing.
titanslayer 06.18.15	Yeah people usually ask me about punk and electronic stuff. I usually tell them I like stuff like dead kennedy's and hope they know who they are. I'm screwed when they ask about electronics cause no one knows what industrial is though Most people don't ask about metal and if they do saying death metal and black metal is usually enough for them, and if they ask about folk I say I like acoustic relaxing folk, which is good enough for most people
MeatSalad 06.18.15	I almost died from blood loss out of my ass once so it could certainly be much worse right now
Muppelope 06.18.15	https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=3O5Px3_RJ3w or I'll just link people to this. This is my go-to mic spam song.
Muppelope 06.18.15	http://www.metalinjection.net/lists/top-10-crimes-committed-black-metal-musicians/6 Some extra info about the band for those interested.
ArsMoriendi 06.18.15	Just go with "alternative rock and indie" if someone who doesn't know a lot of music asks you. With my taste I usually say "alternative rock, experimental stuff, some older 70s rock, and a bit of electronic" and I think people get what I mean...
Gameofmetal 06.18.15	"@Gameofmetal I'll help you out, just say "Metal" next time. Judging by your chart that is literally all you listen to" to be quite fair, I do have over 1400 ratings and there's a little bit of everything hidden in there but yea metal is predominant
ShitsofRain 06.18.15	electronic music ^^^
Gestapo 06.18.15	everything but metal
DrMaximus 06.18.15	Just tell them the truth and if they don't understand then tell them they're ignorant :]
Funeralopolis 06.18.15	metal and whatever pitchfork, theneedledrop and other mainstream music critics tell me is good, I then proceed to obey them like a sheep.
MrNippleLipz 06.18.15	I usually give a one word answer to an average music fan and have no interest discussing music with them, I mean what the hell is the point? It's even worse when they don't understand the importance of sub genres.
Angelboros 06.18.15	Any form of heavy metal as long as it sounds good to my ears and experimental music in general. Those are my two mains, but I'll check just about anything outside these styles; the genre itself doesn't necessarily matter that much, y'know.
Ninjask 06.18.15	everything but metal [2] Ars, you don't listen to experimental music. you listen to experimental rock.
danielito19 06.18.15	when people ask, I just tell them "hardcore punk and techno" because everyone has a vague idea of what those are and then they know that our tastes don't align and i don't have to talk t swift w them
Aftertheascension 06.18.15	Music that doesn't suck
8genre 06.18.15	I tell them that I listen to all music because I'm an enlightened individual
ArsMoriendi 06.18.15	"Ars, you don't listen to experimental music. you listen to experimental rock." True, very true.
JamieTwort 06.18.15	I sometimes resort to just saying something like "I listen to loads of different stuff" and then they might say something like "a little bit of everything then?" and I hesitantly nod in agreement (to avoid making a longwinded response) whilst thinking to myself "well actually no, there are styles of music I dislike to the extent that I won't even listen to a little bit of it".
Alastor 06.18.15	I always keep a print of my sputnik ratings in case someone asks that question.
danielito19 06.18.15	lmfao alastor with the threadkiller
Ninjask 06.18.15	i should do that too tbh
ChoccyPhilly 06.18.15	"I say everything but country. and they say, aww but country is good I love country. and I say, yeah I know." So true but then they think country is like fuckin taylor swift
JamieTwort 06.18.15	Townes Van Zandt
Ninjask 06.18.15	taylor swift rules. but she isn't country. [2]
Jots 06.18.15	i usually say i hate music, as it's the most inferior art form besides ceramics and perhaps miming.
Valkyrion 06.18.15	I do what JamieTwort said earlier if I know they're completely clueless if they vaguely know about music I tell them "electronic and metal music mostly"
NorthernSkylark 06.18.15	nobody ever asks me that except girls so i say crack baby crack (no really i say pop mostly)
Royl123 06.18.15	I always say a little bit of everything...
ChoccyPhilly 06.19.15	Metal - "uhhh you listen to screamo and shit?" Death Metal - "You mean like evanescence?" Some experimental electronic stu- "SKRILLEX!?!" Grunge - "omg i love nirvana too" Drone/ambient - "that's not MUSIC" Classical - "but it's SO OLD!!" tbh i don't know why i bother with music discussions with people
deathschool 06.19.15	2, 6, and 16 would be included
Tunaboy45 06.19.15	Black Metal- "what's that" plays 5 seconds of Transilvanian Hunger "oh that's like that screamo black veil brides" tbh i don't know why i bother with music discussions with people[2] other than my best mate who listens to the same music as me.
deathschool 06.19.15	I once argued with someone for like an hour, cause I told them I was on a ska kick and they were convinced it was a Christian music subgenre.
Eggvander 06.19.15	why discuss stuff with real people when all you guys do is hang out on sputnik for hours on end?
ChoccyPhilly 06.19.15	On my University's fresher's page, someone posted this... erham: "Harry S. 16 June at 23:03 · Edited Hi just wondering if there's any like minded 'edgy'/'alternative' people in this group? Would be nice if there's some people I could just chill and listen to Arctic Monkeys vinyls with, cheers"
ChoccyPhilly 06.19.15	why discuss stuff with real people when all you guys do is hang out on sputnik for hours on end? I think the reason of shit discussions with people irl is WHY we're all glued to sputnik
deathschool 06.19.15	Send him to Sput, Choccy. We'll set em straight
Eggvander 06.19.15	@Choccy very true my friend, very true. But my argumentation was so nice and you make it sound so negative :'(
YakNips 06.19.15	currently playing the brave little abacus for an awkward 13 year old
YakNips 06.19.15	he is awful and i am interacting with him so suck on that
ChoccyPhilly 06.19.15	@egg haha don't be, i love our community like an annoying, argumentative child that you love anyway
Tunaboy45 06.19.15	He wouldn't last 2 minutes over here, with his arctic monkeys vinyl and his ironic star wars tshirt
Eggvander 06.19.15	@Choccy I am glad you take this so seriously. Even with a combined elitist rating of over 9000, I still love it too. :*
ChoccyPhilly 06.19.15	Oh I stopped taking this seriously a long time ago. Gone are the days when it was like "relax, it's his opinion, guys" but on the other hand, I haven't quite reached the level of someguest
Dis_Con_Nec_Ted 06.19.15	I reckon that metal, prog and alternative related is the primary sort of music, preferably the more melancholic and agressive type, but not limited to. Essentially, as long as it pleases my ears and makes me feel something, the genre really doesn't matter.
idjit 06.19.15	I used to say something along the lines of "I'm open to most things," or "I'll try pretty much anything once," but now I think I'd have to acknowledge that's a blatant lie. I just listen to the angry stuff with ebm/futurepop as occasional relief tbh.
Supercoolguy64 06.19.15	i listen to everything except for country, hip hop, pop, techno, rock, brostep, mongolian throat singing, engine noises, the sounds of babys crying, jack hammers, sirens, and fire alarms.
melnadaiid 06.19.15	I listen to absolute trash
TheBarber 06.19.15	I just say I dig pretty much anything with a little weakness for distortion and psychedelic; covers a lot of terrain, guarantees sympathy and opens for conversation if the dude in front knows his sound (then expanding in details is possible)
Thibs 06.19.15	just say hipster shit
BMDrummer 06.19.15	usually i just say leftover crack or butthole surfers
alienobserver 06.19.15	all i do is tell people i love music and it's my main hobby / interest and they're like wow you must listen to really cool obscure stuff if you put so much time into it what do you listen to and i say say twenty one pilots and they kinda look at me like oh
alienobserver 06.19.15	but i'd say my favorite genres are Experimental Post - Hardcore Alt Metal Alt Rock any kind of Alternative Pop, like dream pop and especially ambient pop stuff like Julianna Barwick & Julia Holter Electronic, mostly ambient / trip - hop Lo - Fi most punk subgenres, hardcore punk , metalcore, powerviolence, mathcore Ethreal wave / goth rock / darkwave
Gestapo 06.19.15	lo-fi and experimental aren't genres stunad
deathschool 06.19.15	It's such an intimidating question to be asked irl
alienobserver 06.19.15	"lo-fi and experimental aren't genres stunad" according to last fm they are i'm just gonna do the paste your taste thing whenever someone asks what music i like lmao I'm into indie, alternative, hardcore, electronic and experimental, including: twenty one pilots, Trophy Scars, The Chariot, Grimes, Nirvana, Architects, Converge, Code Orange Kids, Chelsea Wolfe, Joy Division, Code Orange, Brand New, Rage Against The Machine, Queens of the Stone Age, The Weeknd, Cocteau Twins, This Mortal Coil, Moving Mountains, Dead Can Dance, Cerce, Swans, The Cure, Beach House, Blindead, Pearl Jam, Baton Rouge, Gaza, Deer Leap, Bauhaus, Clan of Xymox, Deftones, Napalm Death, Choking Victim, Envy, Blacklisted, Dance Gavin Dance, The World Is a Beautiful Place & I Am No Longer Afraid to Die, Cranes, Siouxsie and the Banshees, The National, Rolo Tomassi, letlive., Nine Inch Nails, Led Zeppelin, Christian Death, Akitsa, Kayo Dot, The Receiving End of Sirens, Made Out of Babies, The Gault.

deathschool 06.19.15	Gosh dern it, Jac. I'm just kidding. But I do have a tendency to tell people more than they care to know.
Gestapo 06.19.15	i just say drake
deathschool 06.19.15	Fusion ass Drake shit
alienobserver 06.19.15	has drake done a collab with flying lotus yet that would be cool
Gestapo 06.19.15	"according to last fm they are" is "damn" a genre
alienobserver 06.19.15	is last fm even a credible source for anything why would you take that seriously
Gestapo 06.19.15	is it a punk sub genre
alwaysright 06.19.15	I listen to Alt/Post/Prog metal bitches!
alienobserver 06.19.15	is drake because i hope it is
laughingman22 06.19.15	for most people I'll say rock/metal if I'm feeling ballsy I might say experimental or psychedelic
Gestapo 06.19.15	i would never admit to liking metal irl
oisincoleman64 06.19.15	I strictly listen to nothing but Tillian era Dance Gavin Dance
flalafell 06.19.15	i usually just say i dabble in a myriad of genres
deathschool 06.19.15	Lil Kim tbh tho
RogueNine 06.19.15	I would really like to tell them it's a bunch of stuff they've never heard of. But normally I say rock and metal. Or maybe mention subgenres if I want to be specific.
hikingmetalpunk 06.19.15	beer
Feather 06.19.15	Well this turned into a productive thread. Basically side step the conversations with real people at all costs. That is what sputnik is for.
BlueW 06.19.15	"pretentious music"
ElegantElephant 06.19.15	i ask them back what they listen to from there i can kind of guess how expansive they are, then i list off digs of similar stature
ElegantElephant 06.19.15	wow rly appreciative at how caring that was ty
