I wonder if all of us here are afflicted with this problem; you're listening to some wierdo music on your walkman, for me, for example, today it was Go Plastic. Someone says something to you, but you can't hear it. You pause the track and listen, hoping and praying that they dont ask the dreaded question. But you know they are going to... "What are you listening too?". You're too proud to lie and say something else, and you could get caught out. You don't want to generalise and risk calling Squarepusher drum&bass or some other such sin. You have to try and explain it, and you know they are going to have to hear a bit. What do you do in this situation? Today's choice was to skip through to Go!Spastic, about 1 min 50 into the track which is the really strange warped explosion and then the track goes literally spastic, and then let her have a listen. She'll never bother me again. |

nice avatar :) instead of saying what it is, i go to the most listenable track on the cd, play it for them, and when they like it, they'll say "whoa what is this?!" and i tell them. gets more people into it that way |

hahah - if someone asks me i just go to the most disturbing/wierdest song i have on the cd and let them have a listen - that gives me one of two different reactions: "holy crap, that is awesome!" OR "do you actually listen to that crap?" |

If they ask, I just give them my headphones. No matter what song is playing. They usually go "You are wacko" or something like that, but hey, who cares? And, indeed, you have a very nice avatar! |

"techno" or "weird techno music." neither one is a lie and they're both very easy to understand. what's the big deal? it's not like i'm listening to morse code. |

|
|
imo, that is because of the general opinion on idm music-most of the people are under the impression, rdj (and others) makes some weird and fucked up tunes and they dont even bother to really listen to it i mean (it happened to me), the other day i played some easy stuff by rdj and there were reactions "this is rdj?"... |

On my walkman I tend to listen to more 4 to the floor techno, or my own music. When people ask me what I have on my headphaunz, I let em listen. Reaction: 1. Techno: Its very monotone. isnt it? 2. My own music: "What is this? Must be made by a schizo" - "Thanks" and then they look at me like I'm insane. So... Life is hard when you have your own taste of music. Isn't it my friends? Ow and anus.... I missed you ;) I'll bring a bottle of wine tonight... |

the people i hang around with generally don't ask me, cos they all "know" the music i like is "weird" and don't like it as a rule. they are all into house. so i wait until about 8am after a heavy session and whack a bit of ulrich schnauss on. then they seem to love it, especially after a big line of evil ketamine. |

i usually don't listen to my music in the outside world. for this reason, but mostly because the noises of people, cars, trains, etc. cover the subtleties... irritating. |

i say 'whoa this is fucked up shitz' and hand over the phones |
||||||||

Doing a song out of distorted morse code sounds like an interesting idea. |

i'd like someone to provide some solid evidence that listening to idm is synonymous with having good taste in music (or that not listening ot idm is synonymous with having no or poor taste in music). |
