NumbersGirl Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 It might be easier to tell people what you don't listen to. For example, when people ask me that question I just say, "I'll listen to anything but country." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rainplay Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 Just tell them a few bands that you like, and if they haven't heard of them, they can look them upp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
getithom Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 I just say alternative, and people are like, "Oh, cool!". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

getithom Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 i hate that term though.. or indie.. i said experimental today idk Most the artists I listen to are considered alternative, but indie is stupid. I used to be one of those. :sad: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yu-tong Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 In Taiwan, people will say they listen to Taiwanese songs, Japanese songs, Korean songs, or English songs. I will say Coldplay first. And I also like to listen to music especially it's from UK. :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brent Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 Will someone tell me what the fuck "alternative" means? It's a bullshit term. Why do we even need genres? The art would be so much freer to evolve if it weren't walled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Final Track Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 I usually say Indie or contemporary music depending on who it is I'm talking to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texas Rez Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 I just tell them that I listen to the kind of music that inspires me and influences me to proceed with whatever I choose to do with my life, and if you have a problem with it, then I'm sorry, there's nothing I can do...

AndresG Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 I usually say "anything but the electro-dance-pop-whatever that you hear on the radio", but that's not true, since I hate many other genres, but it'd be hard to go into full detail. If they want specific genres I'll just say "rock", or if they want artists I'll say "Coldplay and U2". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lodder Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 I listen to all sorts of genres, but mostly just name artists I like Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Concorne6 Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 Who Coldplay Is To Most Teenagers I always just say Coldplay, they are really all I listen to. Sure I'll like a couple other songs by other artist but Coldplay actually makes more than 1 good song lol. People would usually respond with one of the following: 1. Are you serious..? 2. So you don't listen to Heavy Metal/Rap?? 3. Oh I love Paradise!!! *facepalm* 4. They are too boring I've only met 1 over person who new more then 5 Coldplay songs in my school lol. I love the fact that I'm better than everyone else :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

_Broken_Doll_ Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 After spending the entire week painting my appartment with music accompanying me, I realised that don't only listen to Coldplay and Rush, but also some grunge, a lot of classical, a lot of lounge and jazz. So if someone asks what I listen to, I say both Coldplay and Rush. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EmmaLouiseSmyth Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 I tend to say a genre that would cover most of the stuff I listen to. (Seems like most people class a fuck load under indie these days, so I just go with that). Then I'm like "you know? like this band and that band"... with my eyebrows raised in hope that they know them, haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
