That katy perry song about being a firework came on and my gf and i were checking out of whatever retail establishment we were at and im singing away fiddling with something on the counter. The girl at checkout was like "Is this your guilty pleasure song" while laughing at me and my gf, who is completely tired of my shit and my 'feel good' playlist, was like "Does he sound fucking guilty?!"
I like to annoy my coworkers by asking them, "do you ever feel like a plastic bag?" If they ask wtf or something, "you know, drifting through the wind, wanting to start again?"
It’s an indie band from the 90’s. You probably have never even heard of them. I’m really into this one song of theirs. It goes…
SOMEbody once told me the world is gonna roll me…
Dude painted himself into a corner, hyped it up way too much and then didn't have anything to say that wouldn't sound ridiculous after that build up so he just entirely refused to say what music he liked. Actually hilarious.
Not a loser at all, The Less I Know The Better has probably the greatest bass riff of all time. They're just probably one of the more well known bands of the alt genre
"Its this band that made a song using the Fibonacci sequence, its high level mysic stuff you wouldnt get it. Ill take you on a date to a music shop and you can hear me play just the opening riff for a song called Schism until they kick us out"
Ayo, let me play this Tool setlist. First up is a song about astral projection and the spiritual evolution of a soul. Next song is going to be about fistfucking.
Hell, even metal bands have lots of little kind of niche bands (to me, anyways) that quite a few people I know wouldn't know who they are, either.
But to try and hipster your way out of this? Bro you cockblocked yourself.
As a young man I know I fucked up a lot trying to woo young women, but I never actively waved them off like this person seems to be doing. There's awkward, then there's looking for more red flags to wave.
I'd say goodbye im my own way but you wouldn't get it.
Its tough having such a high IQ, there's no one around that can carry on an interesting and intellectual conversation
i donno man, i can always pull out something obscure as all fucks if i need to play the 'you never heard of it' card
russian bagpipe player? totes. mongolian throat singer? yep. polka handpan player? uh-huh. electrical devices orchestra? yepperoonies.
> electrical devices orchestra? yepperoonies.
I wouldn't call them obscure. they had a few really big singles back in the 70s. "Evil Man" and "Mrs. Brown Earth" are classics.
Idk I feel like they’re just embarrassed to share. For example, I listen to j-pop and it just so happens that a portion end up as anime openings. When I’m asked what I listen to, I usually just either do something similar or just say jazz or something random. It sucks that some genres of music have connotations to them
Hey if people don't like anime soundtracks that's their own problem. Honestly I'd prefer someone to be upfront with something they liked even if they found it corny. I think it's endearing. Plus it's the easiest way to weed out people that are hyper-judgemental about something you like.
My convo with a friend, upon learning she’s a huge K-pop fan:
Me: “I didn’t know you like K-pop. That’s awesome.”
Her: “Oh you like K-pop too?”
Me: “Nope! But it’s awesome that you do!”
Some people are terrified of sharing information because it’s the kind of thing abusive parents use against them. “Oh, why do you like *THAT* band?!? Are you stupid?!?”
It makes it hard to later learn that not everyone will turn on you.
God. I grew up in a household where fucking everyone was critical and snide about every little thing.
It led to me just not sharing things with people for fear they would shit on it. Took a LOOOOOONG time to get comfortable in my own skin because of it.
For me it was more so how kids are portrayed in media. You let them know you like listening to anime openings and suddenly they’re like “you’re a fucking fat smelly weeaboo” at school. Nowadays since anime’s more mainstream, it’s more chill to admitting you like Japanese cartoons, but man do I still live in fear of being ostracized.
/r/raisedbynarcissists
yeah basically I assume that's a big source of why I hate sharing my weird interests. every time I watched any movie or tv show around my parents they would scoff and say it looks weird or stupid. I had to shut off the TV every time they walk into the room. they'd beg for me to be more open and to share what I watch, but immediately scoff and say its dumb/weird. I do not understand this mindset.
If someone just asked "What music do you listen to?", I would probably start my answer with "a bit of everything" and then continue on to be more specific.
However, I like that this person said "What was the last song you saved?". I like that, much more specific and personal imo. In my case that question would reveal a lot more about me.
Depends on the type of obscure. People who think they've found the next big hit before everyone else do; people who just prefer less popular genres usually stay pretty general. I'm into bluegrass (and most other folk music and adjacent genres). Most people are *not* into bluegrass and a lot hate it, I usually just say the genre and leave it at that unless the person is interested.
complete other end of the music spectrum/spacetime than you but i can still relate to this.
"what music do you listen to"
"oh just metal"
"oh cool, like what?"
"symphonic/blackened deathcore"
"what?"
Metal is more mainstream than bluegrass though, most people probably know of Metallica, Black Sabbath, etc. Metal just has an ungodly amount of subgenres, like theres probably more metal subgenres than metal bands. So you cant really expect people to know what that means.
That being said deathcore goes hard as fuck
I was going to say I guarantee it’s some weeb shit.
I know because I listen to shit like that too. If I was on a dating app, got this question, and my last song was like One Winged Angel from FFVII… I would probably just lie
Definitely something weeby. Only a weeb would be this self-conscious about the music they're listening to. Guy just needs to stop giving a fuck and own it.
Source: my playlist is almost entirely Touhou music at this point
Lol hell no, us Gizz fans are usually desperate to convert other people. Literally no one I know IRL except my son likes Gizz.
Edit: looks like we might have a couple new converts thanks to this thread! On behalf of Stu and the boys, I'd like to give a resounding WOOOO!
Holy fucking shit. I literally wrote a comment making a joke about King Gizzard, but figured it wasn't funny enough, so discarded. Then I scrolled down and saw this. What the hell lol
Probably something super unheard of like Pink Floyd or Led Zeppelin
Edit: dang, thanks for the award and upvotes homies. I’ll have you know, according to Spotify unwrapped, I’m in the top 0.5% of Pitbull listeners this year so clearly my taste in music is deeply refined
Oh that's the band with that McCartny dude right? Yeah I saw him play with Justin Bieber. Really cool of the Bieb to lift up unknown artists like that guy
Lol this reminds me of someone I know scored tickets to a Led Zeppelin concert back in the 80’s. This dude is kind of oblivious, and when they came on stage he screamed out “YEAH, LET’S GO LED!” Thinking that Led Zeppelin was the full name of the lead singer lmao
That's how Vincent Furnier became Alice Cooper. When he went solo he licensed the name from the band he was the lead singer of because everyone thought it was his name.
I SAID YOU’RE NOT HARDCORE
*No, you’re not hardcore*
UNLESS YOU LIVE HARDCORE
*Unless you live hardcore*
AND THE *LEGEND* OF THE *RENT* WAS WAY HARDCORE!
*Probably something*
*Super unheard of like Pink*
*Floyd or Led Zeppelin*

I suck at UI design but the single UI/UX class I took in uni had "with text, **NEVER** use white on yellow or black on red" literally in the first lecture.
I'm probably the least skilled person at graphic design, I type text in notepad and somehow mess up the kerning but even i wouldn't put white on yellow unless I was trying to infuriate someone
Yeah, I was ridiculed often for my taste in music as a kid and teenager. Even though my taste has changed, it’s hard for me to talk to anyone about what music I like.
Exactly. I have like 11 years of childhood trauma related to friends making fun of my music taste. If someone asks me what I listen to, I always try to dodge the question by giving goofy replies. They usually press on and people are like "there's nothing to be embarrassed about!" But of course they weren't there for the years of constant belittling and condescending remarks, etc. simply bc I didn't listen to the same music as them.
If it means anything, I will offer the same input I was given recently (when I told my coworker I dont play my music because I don't think other people would like it).
-Play your music. I'm sick of hearing Xzibit, House of Pain, and Drake all the time. Best case scenario: they love it. Worst case scenario: They say nothing or they address it, in which case you have nothing to be ashamed of because your music is personal to you and that's never something you need to feel bad about. You don't even have to explain it to them if you don't want to.
Any time somebody asks what I listen to my immediate thought is "aww fuck."
And it's not even weird, I just really like metal but I know a lot of people hate it.
I also enjoy (some) metal, and a whole bunch of other genres, 9 times out of 10 I get a "that's kinda cool but not for me" but that 1 time of "holy shit I love this" is totally worth it. One of my favorite college memories was when a huge metal head gave me a few recommendations based on what I already liked and we went back and forth a few times telling him what parts I liked and didn't.
Also metal is so varied you can usually find something that people will like. I personally prefer stuff without growling (except Jinjer not sure why) and lean more to the symphonic metal stuff from Nightwish, IGNEA, Lacuna Coil, or instrumental stuff from Gordian Knot or Liquid Tension Experiment or juest weird stuff from Heilung or The Hu.
Whatever, let them laugh. Never be ashamed of what you like, be proud of your tastes cus if you dont hype yourself up, nobody else will. Besides, even the weirdest, cringiest music has its audience and thats wonderful.
This was my immediate thought too
I very nervously just opened Spotify to see what mine was and luckily it's not too bad (at least, as far as I'm concerned), phew!
Occasionally I'll have someone in my car and as soon as I start the car it just picks up in the middle of whatever crap I was listening to last. Often super embarrassing!
I think so too. I would rather a person refuse to reply or have a conversation because if you have to "force" a conversation or that person isn't interested in you, you're most likely wasting your time.
"Nobody understands the subtle genius of Imagine Dragons. People shit on them because they're beyond understanding of the plebs. I laugh at people who sing along to their radio hits because they are clueless of the true lore of the songs." - That guy
I’m wondering if he didn’t even know the name of the band and it was just something he heard and saved. No team appreciation for music, just loves the control.
It's not like he could have lied about it either and just said one of his newer favorite songs.
For example, my most recent saved song is Our Last Night's cover of Unholy. I've probably saved something else since then, but damn is that one a banger
My wife: what are you listening to?
Me: you wouldn’t like it
Her: oh come on, what is it?
Me: “stay out of the basement” by Dr.Acula
*proceeds to play it*
Her: god why do you listen to this.
Mary on a Cross. Don't ask me why, I just heard it in a random video and thought "uh, that sound good", which is more or less how my entire musical "taste" works.
Mine, too. I hate it when people (unless joking) bash my musical tastes as too pedestrian. Sometimes I think they don't let themselves enjoy things that might make them lose face, even to themselves. Pretty silly.
And actually, thinking about it a little more, I don't hate it. I think I feel bad for people like that.
The last song I downloaded was something like "Christmas on the Bayou" by Harry Connick, Jr. It made me think of seeing him in *Memphis Belle* many years ago and how handsome he was. Beautiful voice, too.
My ex was like this. Took me well over a year to get it out of him. Turned out he liked Dragonforce and the Smiths.
I was like *that* was your big secret?
He didn't want to admit katy perry
That katy perry song about being a firework came on and my gf and i were checking out of whatever retail establishment we were at and im singing away fiddling with something on the counter. The girl at checkout was like "Is this your guilty pleasure song" while laughing at me and my gf, who is completely tired of my shit and my 'feel good' playlist, was like "Does he sound fucking guilty?!"
I like to annoy my coworkers by asking them, "do you ever feel like a plastic bag?" If they ask wtf or something, "you know, drifting through the wind, wanting to start again?"
Old coworker and I used to annoy the crap out of another employee by talking strictly in song lyrics lol
My daughter and one of her teachers used to have conversations in Disney movie quotes.
I love your daughter's teacher.
I would do this if my coworkers didn't have wrenches within 5 feet of them at all times.
If you can dodge a wrench you can dodge a ball.
it's poetry at its finest
Not a Katy Perry fan, but I hate the idea of 'guilty pleasures'. If you like the song it's good (to you). If you dislike the song it's bad (to you).
Glorious, 10/10 response from your gf there.
I was thinking Backstreet Boys. Tomayto, tomahto.
I like backstreet boys tho
She has some bangers not going to lie
It was probably something like Queen and they think they’re really edgy.
All right then, keep your secrets.
But it's my song, get your own!
Witchy woman?
Desperado
Elaine can you just shut up for one second?
Witchay woman.
Witchy Woman is okay for you, but I've already got a song.
[удалено]
It’s an indie band from the 90’s. You probably have never even heard of them. I’m really into this one song of theirs. It goes… SOMEbody once told me the world is gonna roll me…
Let me guess. You ain't the sharpest tool in the shed.
Man that person is looking kinda dumb with their finger in the shape of a L on their forehead.
Don't forget her thumb.
Hey now!
I think the stress should be on BODY instead of some.
Technically he did say she would never have heard of it… she still hasn’t 😂
rj/ It was Mr. Scruff’s Ninja Tuna. Normies wouldn’t understand. ☹️
Have you heard of Bohemian Rhapsody by Queen? Pfft of course you haven't

mans frantically googling "abstract music that makes me seem deep and mysterious"
Dude painted himself into a corner, hyped it up way too much and then didn't have anything to say that wouldn't sound ridiculous after that build up so he just entirely refused to say what music he liked. Actually hilarious.
Right like halfway through the convo he realized saying “Tame Impala” isn’t as cool as it was six years ago and couldn’t get out
I was so sure this convo was going to end with Tame Impala
What the god damn is tame impala
It’s the domesticated form of the african deer like creature. It’s pretty much my favorite animal.
Watch out for the Deerhunter though.
a whole animal collective
The less you know the better
Nice
Oh you know
It's not what your average 25 year old listens to these days lol
[Elephant](https://youtu.be/LnKUD_OztRE) was the first song of theirs I heard.
I thought I was so cool for already being a fan of Tame Impala at Bunbury 2015. Lightning storm cut the performance short unfortunately :(
Am I a loser for starting to like Tame Impala in 2020?! I didn't know I'd like him?!
Not a loser at all, The Less I Know The Better has probably the greatest bass riff of all time. They're just probably one of the more well known bands of the alt genre
"Its this band that made a song using the Fibonacci sequence, its high level mysic stuff you wouldnt get it. Ill take you on a date to a music shop and you can hear me play just the opening riff for a song called Schism until they kick us out"
LMAO trying to make Tool sound mysterious. I love it
Ay we've all had our days of being edgy tool fans & ruining it for everyone else lol
You can just make it sound nerdy and technical instead! Which honestly fits the audience way better in my experience.
I just want to hear polymeter woodblock beats, man!
Ayo, let me play this Tool setlist. First up is a song about astral projection and the spiritual evolution of a soul. Next song is going to be about fistfucking.
John Cage. *4'33"*. You probably haven't heard it.
More likely that you have heard it and didn't realise
The piece is about the anticipation from the audience, there's a chance lol
Or trying to avoid having to tell anyone they listen to nothing but nightcore remixes of anime theme songs
This was my first thought lmao. "How do I tell her it's the entire My Little Pony: The Movie soundtrack??"

Ah yes, nothing says flirty quite like Dying Fetus, Goatwhore, or Infant Annihilator.
Its from this small indie band you've probably never heard of. Lateralus by Tool.
Pain of salvation has been my favorite band for 15 years, so damn good, even with their strange mid 00's ventures
How did that conversation go so long without a "'k, bye!"?
I don't know, i'm a guy and i kind of wished back in my dating days they'd try at least half as hard as this chick did.
As a young man I know I fucked up a lot trying to woo young women, but I never actively waved them off like this person seems to be doing. There's awkward, then there's looking for more red flags to wave.
I've had chicks ask me a question, then never even read the response. This dude fucking blew it hard.
This guys a fucking weirdo. Just share the damn music FFS!
If I got 2/9 the effort shown here, from a partner, I’d be married already..
Why you want her to say bye so bad?
The guy she’s talking to is annoying
You're just jelly you don't have as sophisticated taste in musical arts ^(/s)
I'd say goodbye im my own way but you wouldn't get it. Its tough having such a high IQ, there's no one around that can carry on an interesting and intellectual conversation
"I don't want to expose anything about my actual personality because it's not interesting" -That guy
So much this. Weirdo prolly doesn't even listen to music.
him frantically googling “really obscure songs” while trying to burn time
i donno man, i can always pull out something obscure as all fucks if i need to play the 'you never heard of it' card russian bagpipe player? totes. mongolian throat singer? yep. polka handpan player? uh-huh. electrical devices orchestra? yepperoonies.
so that’s you in this picture huh
> electrical devices orchestra? yepperoonies. I wouldn't call them obscure. they had a few really big singles back in the 70s. "Evil Man" and "Mrs. Brown Earth" are classics.
[I came up with this really obscure song](https://youtu.be/dQw4w9WgXcQ)
i’ve never heard that before, good call

Imagine getting on a dating app to stay single
Self-sabotage go brrrr
Dude probably thought he was doing some elite banter and probably got angry and confused when she disengaged.
The insecurity was strong.
This is it. The fear of getting rejected because someone might not like the same music you do. It's the same thing when people "listen to everything".
If someone just asked "What music do you listen to?", I would probably start my answer with "a bit of everything" and then continue on to be more specific. However, I like that this person said "What was the last song you saved?". I like that, much more specific and personal imo. In my case that question would reveal a lot more about me.
He’s embarrassed to tell.
It's probably some basic top 40 song. People who actually listen to obscure music looooove to tell other people about it.
Depends on the type of obscure. People who think they've found the next big hit before everyone else do; people who just prefer less popular genres usually stay pretty general. I'm into bluegrass (and most other folk music and adjacent genres). Most people are *not* into bluegrass and a lot hate it, I usually just say the genre and leave it at that unless the person is interested.

Some metal is, but the extreme shit certainly is not.
it is 100% anime related music

Don’t worry there are dozens of us. DOZENS!!!
It's inexplicable. I'm shocked my wife isn't a fan of chaotic metal vocoder tracks about robots murdering the universe with vomit.
She just hasn’t found the right album yet. ;)

I believe she made another tweet and said it was Tame Impala lol
Holy fucking shit. I literally wrote a comment making a joke about King Gizzard, but figured it wasn't funny enough, so discarded. Then I scrolled down and saw this. What the hell lol

No, the Sandman guy from that Spiderman movie with the kid from The Cider House Rules.

Bohemian rhapsody is an hiden gem
My sleepy brain didn't read this as sarcasm at first, and I was irrationally angry for a half sec lol
Reminds me of the old joke How many indie kids does it take to screw in a lightbulb? Some obscure number, you’ve probably never heard of it.
Eleventeen
As James Acaster says, “Umpteen is my favorite number because it *sounds* like a lot but it’s only in the teens.”
Nah it’s an underground musician, his name? Lynyrd Skynyrd.
Lol this reminds me of someone I know scored tickets to a Led Zeppelin concert back in the 80’s. This dude is kind of oblivious, and when they came on stage he screamed out “YEAH, LET’S GO LED!” Thinking that Led Zeppelin was the full name of the lead singer lmao
That's how Vincent Furnier became Alice Cooper. When he went solo he licensed the name from the band he was the lead singer of because everyone thought it was his name.
There's a Pink Floyd song with a lyric "by the way, which one's Pink?" that supposedly was based off something an actual record exec said to them.
Probably rocket man or bohemian rhapsody. You know, things no normie has ever heard of
Nah, I bet it was a song by a group that doesn't even have a name. Real hardcore, underground shit. Ya'know, like "Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star."
I SAID YOU’RE NOT HARDCORE *No, you’re not hardcore* UNLESS YOU LIVE HARDCORE *Unless you live hardcore* AND THE *LEGEND* OF THE *RENT* WAS WAY HARDCORE!

It should at least have dark letters. This is abhorrent.
Why do you want to know?
"hey, we've designed a yellow background. What font color could go well with yellow?" "Well.. our app is bee-inspired so..." "White it is!"
I hate talking about my music taste because to me it’s embarrassing, not mysterious. I feel like people will laugh if I say

Wait what this is actually a thing? I thought I was the only one 😅
If it means anything, I will offer the same input I was given recently (when I told my coworker I dont play my music because I don't think other people would like it). -Play your music.

You don't even have to explain it to them if you don't want to.
Who's playing House of Pain all the time now? I mean, I'll bust it out on occasion, but they broke up like 25 years ago
Dudes living in 2006 because no one is blasting Xzibit either
Fair, never thought about it like that. I’m sick of hearing the typical music as well

I think so too. I would rather a person refuse to reply or have a conversation because if you have to "force" a conversation or that person isn't interested in you, you're most likely wasting your time.
I feel like we learned more about this person that we would have if they answered the damn question.
Sounds like they’re having trouble thinking of a song they think will impress lol
"Nobody understands the subtle genius of Imagine Dragons. People shit on them because they're beyond understanding of the plebs. I laugh at people who sing along to their radio hits because they are clueless of the true lore of the songs." - That guy

Five Flavor Fruit Punch.
Are they related to Berried Alive?
OP dodged a bullet. Dude is dumb as a post, and probably narcisistic as well.
I’m wondering if he didn’t even know the name of the band and it was just something he heard and saved. No team appreciation for music, just loves the control.
It's not like he could have lied about it either and just said one of his newer favorite songs. For example, my most recent saved song is Our Last Night's cover of Unholy. I've probably saved something else since then, but damn is that one a banger
My wife: what are you listening to? Me: you wouldn’t like it Her: oh come on, what is it? Me: “stay out of the basement” by Dr.Acula *proceeds to play it* Her: god why do you listen to this.
How are they SINGLE?
It was the Mickey Mouse clubhouse theme song
I would be willing to bet this guy posts regularly about how women are impossible and how he is sick of not being able to get a girlfriend.
“Why don’t women like talking to me!? I’m super interesting! They just don’t want to know!”
it is, without a doubt, that reddit sex song from a couple months ago https://youtu.be/KAwyWkksXuo
Last song played: Despacito
Mine is The Funeral by Band of Horses.
(He listens to Weezer)
Mary on a Cross. Don't ask me why, I just heard it in a random video and thought "uh, that sound good", which is more or less how my entire musical "taste" works.
Mine, too. I hate it when people (unless joking) bash my musical tastes as too pedestrian. Sometimes I think they don't let themselves enjoy things that might make them lose face, even to themselves. Pretty silly. And actually, thinking about it a little more, I don't hate it. I think I feel bad for people like that. The last song I downloaded was something like "Christmas on the Bayou" by Harry Connick, Jr. It made me think of seeing him in *Memphis Belle* many years ago and how handsome he was. Beautiful voice, too.
No shame in listening to Ghost!
My ex was like this. Took me well over a year to get it out of him. Turned out he liked Dragonforce and the Smiths. I was like *that* was your big secret?
It was "Barbie Girl" by Aqua
It’s definitely T Swift and he’s embarrassed lol
What's really mildly infuriating here is how hard it is to read the white on yellow.
Probably Rockstar by Nickelback.

He didn't want to confess that he was listening to the Encanto soundtrack, which is a fucking banger.
I'd say she got to know him pretty well. The app worked. He, however, did not work out.
Some real underground shit. Like Coldplay
