April 21, 201313 yr *bump* i was bored so i though i'd bump this thread... i usually say that i like Rock music. then i say that i like Coldplay, Muse and RHCP....and then i say that i also like Jamiroquai.
April 21, 201313 yr Given the fact that most people who ask me that question are annoying me, I usually (but not always - sometimes they ask a proper question like what music am I enjoying at the moment) say something along the lines of 'from Mozart to Radiohead to Neil Young to Public Enemy to The Chemical Brothers to The Beatles. Rap to folk to punk to electro to rock to classical to drum and bass to shoegaze.' To which they reply 'so everything then?'. Then I say (as pretentiously as possible) that that couldn't be further from the truth and that I'm very picky and specific when it comes to what I listen to and hate the vast, vast majority of music. If I can tell the person who is asking isn't annoying then I usually just answer 'oh, plenty of things really - I'm currently listening to a lot of...' and smile. But most people who ask that question tend to be annoying and simply trying to judge you on your music tastes.
April 21, 201313 yr Music is too mainstream, I just listen to pure emotion. I just listen to orgasms and rage.
April 21, 201313 yr Recently, I've been saying classical and soundtracks because that's all I've listened to for about a year Someone asked me this a few days ago, and I said "Dvorak and Rachmaninov", much to their confusion. :| but within the past two weeks or so I've started going back and listening to Muse, Coldplay (just the earlier stuff), Miike Snow, a bit of Woodkid, and Sigur Ros. I don't even know anymore :disappointed:
April 21, 201313 yr When people ask me what kind of music I listen to I say that I listen to a variation of rock. I like lots of classic, indie, alternative and heavy rock bands. Then they usually say do you like One Direction? And I give them an evil glare and whisper 'no' :| *walks away*
April 22, 201313 yr Most of my friends only know two artists I listen to: Coldplay and maybe The Killers. Well, and the Beatles, of course. They don't know who Radiohead, Death Cab for Cutie, Metric, Oasis...are. *sigh* :shrug:
April 22, 201313 yr 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... I don't have a problem with people liking music, but if you gave that incredibly guarded and serious answer I'd have a problem with that. Crazy. 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 That last sentence! Hahahaha! You're unfortunate enough to only like 1 artist and you think you're better than others. Were you joking? Given the fact that most people who ask me that question are annoying me One pretentious person in particular stood out when I thought of that, conversation was like this: "So, you play guitar, what kind of music are you into?" "Well listening to a lot of minimal techno lately, when it comes to guitar I guess I started learning from grunge music, I guess I like alternative bands but-" "No but c'mon, like what artists?" "....uhm. Radiohead, Beatles, Sigur Ros?" "No but I mean c'mon everyone knows those bands." "Fucking hell. I've been listening to Talking Heads a lot lately-" "Everyone knows them." At that point I just nodded and walked away. Obviously everyone knows those huge bands but the only other thing you can do is name some fucking obscure band they couldn't possibly have heard anyway, really retarded.
April 23, 201313 yr I just listen to orgasms and rage. Dammit, now it's mainstream. I can't listen to anything anymore.
April 23, 201313 yr 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... Just tell them you like Coldplay, Muse and Rush, or whoever it is you listen to. I was going to ask why people would have a problem with your music tastes, but if you're being this pretentious I can see why.

September 4, 201312 yr I say everything that I enjoy listening to, escpecially alternative rock and ambient/sperimental
September 4, 201312 yr I'm actually usually the person who's asking this question. I mean, music is something that means a lot to me, and it's something I'm very comfortable discussing. I have been asked a few times, though, and I usually say something like this: "I listen to whatever sounds good to my ears. I'm not too picky when it comes to genres, although I don't like country or musicals. I'll give anything a go at least once."
September 4, 201312 yr My favorite genre though, is copying Reilly's angry posts into Microsoft Sam and listening to them on expensive headphones in complete darkness. :)
September 4, 201312 yr 2003-2013 End of an era On a plus side it's ok to like CP in the Lounge again.
