Took control of the music at a party because the girl who had control was putting on youtube remixes. She ended up complementing me on my taste, means nothing coming from her but it felt nice

>oh, i use spotify and ive nearly hit my data limit, soz.

Wrote/edited for a literary magazine last year and had control of the speakers for a bit while we were all editing and organizing shit before the release. Played some Death Grips and people HATED it. Then someone played generic indie pop and the editors were cool with it.

Alt J is gud tbqh famalam

never listened to them except that one song. breezeblocks or something? Yeah that was the gayest song I had heard in a long tie

Replacements were the goo goo dolls of the 80s so you shouldn't be surprised. Sounds like they know their shit m8

i don't get why you'd play abstract/weird stuff at a party. are you expecting them to be impressed by your taste? just play some popular shit man don't be autistic.

Most bands mentioned in this thread are completely reasonable.

Because life is too short to not play Melt-Banana at a normie party at least once.

but i don't listen to popular shit

yeah is happened to me too
they were good friends of mine tho so I had no issues making fun of them for being children

What's some good music that normies can enjoy?
Although nobody ever handed me the aux cord (Due to the fact i don't need preach about music like a damn autist, and the fact I have no friends).
But if I was ever handed one. I might but some Weezer or Radiohead.

>play classical music at a gathering
haha i love classical music user u have good taste
Normal people confuse me

I'd rather normies who listen to obnoxious rap than bland, inoffensive middle-of-the-road background music like this.

Don't put on Radiohead. I did that and people said to turn on something more positive and less depressing. Weezer is a good idea. I've put on the poppy DG songs, Kanye, Hamilton, just.....catchy, somewhat upbeat tunes.

>implying death grips isn't obnoxious rap music

This. I always forget normie plebs can't listen to sad music and still have fun.

I usually just play the Strokes

upbeat like said
Phoenix works. Cocteau Twins probably works if you stick to Iceblink Luck, Carolyn's Fingers, etc.

reading comprehension isn't one of your strengths is it user

>listening to renaissance gregorian chants
>high notes come up
>"user, this sounds like the priest grabbed the choirboy's balls and squished them"

I have a friend who used to listen to YouTube dubstep with his friends alot a few years back. I'd always play Kyuss or other stoner rock and get a good reaction from them.

People who smoke weed will never get irritated by Kyuss

Actually that was my major in community college so stfu

Just put Gorillaz.

>reading comprehension

I played Principal Real by Panda Bear and they told me to take it off and started playing tlop or some shit

To be fair the post he responded to was written poorly and doesn't make any fucking sense.

But user, it's a rite of passage here to put on Merzbow at a party and then hastily leave the room

i played lil ugly mane in front of my friends i'm friends with because they smoke weed with me, that listen exclusively to future, migos, etc and it got positive reviews. small victories.

girl asked me to put on music

I put on Wipers

we made out

Wow, that's not as bad as what usually happens.

>Is this Kanye West?

I listen to a lot of electronic music so I isually just pick the dancier, accessible tracks I'm digging, with one or two well-known artists thrown in for normie credibility. I'm never really looking for anyone to compliment my taste, I just want everyone to have fun while we listen to shit that doesn't make me wanna blow my brains out (AKA anything that isn't Rihanna's song Work).

It is fun when they get into it and seem amazed that good music exists outside the Top 40/p4k/Noisey zone

If they're into dubstep or whatever I'll usually play some Aphex Twin acid. Indie probably just the Strokes or AnCo if I think I can get away with it.

but in reality I'll be drunk/high and play whatever obnoxious hip-hop I've listened to recently or Danny Brown - 30 and butcher rapping along.

>play Venetian Snares after smoking
>"user this is going to give me mental problems"

They are so fucking different and Anthony Kiedis voice is so distinct. How the fuck are people that autistic?

this was in her bed btw

They're both funk buttrock.

GOd, you're such a faggot

This is a really good answer if your a fucking swansfag and have no hope of enjoying music with normies.

All in all people enjoyed my music, but you gotta know when to say no sometimes.

Nice dude you don't seem like a sperg at all.

I don't think they are the autistic ones.

>put eccojams at party
>literal fucking yuppie(or whatever the modern day equivalent is called) goes stridently and turns it off
You couldn't make this shit up, it was like poetry.

I usually put on things like Parquet Courts, Television, Talking Heads, Ought, that kind of post punk stuff.
Seems to be pretty inoffensive to the general normie while still being enjoyable.
You still gotta be careful though, I've been given shit for Joy Division for being to depressing, and Bauhaus as well.

>she listens to music ironically
you're too good for hr user

So you actually think if stuff is popular it is bad?

It was at a fucking nerd party, who gives a shit?

hahaha plebs.

>not having primarily druggie friends who are into Ween and therefore are open to pretty much anything

This happens to me to often. Except instead of notthatbad alt-j they play some shitty trap or generic electropop.

Accurate

One time just to be obnoxious I put this on

Couldn't hold it down

I wish my friends liked Can

>The dude was so musically oblivious

nobody irl actually cares or knows what music genres are, to most people there is only 'rock, hip hop, country, and techno'
the fact that he thought that metal was the appropriate name for that song is not very surprising.

hello reddít

Fuck I hate when this happens

and i'm black this is just getting too much for me

I have Sup Forumstant friends who I can share the real shit with, but it doesn't make for very interesting stories to just have;
>put on some post-avant jazzfunk
>other neets like it

Can you not judge when people want to listen to albums and when people want to listen to songs?

>Get handed aux cord at frat party of 200 people in college

I didn't want to listen to his shitty Pandora singles for the next 4 hours on a indoor project. How can anyone stand to pay for so many poorly recorded live performance recordings as a service.

My friends and I have no problems playing music. Whoever is driving gets the aux, whoever's house is hosting gets music controls. We often discover new music through each other.

I never go to parties, so thankfully I have no horror stories.

>DOOM
>drums come in
>white people music
Are people actually that retarded?

second one was adorable

I played Ariel Pink while I was driving my mom around one time and she said she actually liked a lot of it. Said it reminded her of songs from when she was in high school.

as an american you wouldn't understand but any music for most ghetto black south africans that isn't radio-play or trap/house/etc etc is white people music

>as an american you wouldn't understand
Canadian, but I get your point.

it's pretty much the same in america too though
all the music posted in this thread is white people music played around white people, and desu, it's really weird, I've never been to a hype party that didn't play trap music
