What bands are you into?" >"I'm like, in love with Imagine Dragons." >internally sigh but don't say anything because I'm not a sperglord >"oh that's cool, I don't really know much about them, I'm mostly into hip-hop and stuff that people with any sense should probably stay away from" >my taste isn't that deep but I hate sounding pretentious >his eyes immediately lock onto mine "So you aren't into Imagine Dragons?" >shrug >"I don't have anything particularly against them, they just really aren't my thing" >really, really trying to be polite here since Imagine Dragons is one of the most bland bands on the planet >a look of slight disgust and bewilderment appears on his face >"Who doesn't like Imagine Dragons?" >I grin and try to laugh it off and change subject >just me, I think! I'm really too picky about my music >he will not let it go >until I excuse myself from the group he won't stop talking about how great the band is and how it's so bizarre that I don't like them >he was highly personally offended that I didn't actively enjoy Imagine Dragons

>I'd give anything a go >"Haha why do you listen to Beach Boys? That's not real music"
I hate explaining that Pet Sounds is my favorite album sometimes
Lincoln Ross
I hate saying I like the beach boys because it makes people think I'm into cheesy surf rock when what I really am into is their later deeper stuff
Easton Reyes
i hate saying i like classical music cause i sound like a dweeb who listens to pandora radio of the same twenty classical pieces in every fucking movie ever and musicals and Zimmer or something
but i hate saying i like modern classical cause then people try to talk to me about Max Richter and Einstein on the Beach. i'd rather seem a little plebby than have to endure another conversation about the worst pieces of classical music ever to become popular
Christopher Gomez
>"Haha why do you listen to Beach Boys? That's not real music" you're making shit up. Pet Sounds is way more well known than any of their other albums.
