A lot of different artists.Lately I have been into this, this and this.

>>51521165
Animal Collective, Crystal Castles, The Mars Volta, Pink Floyd Mayweather, Beck, BTMI, The Brave Little Abacus. I have also never smoked marijuana or marijuana accessories.

>umm bon iver and sufjan stevens
>*panties fall to the floor*

Just say "post-punk" because it's a non plen way of saying "indie" because most guitar bands are inspired by post-punk bands, or call themselves post-punk

It's a catch all term

You clearly don't talk to women often, unless older women are different. Every single time I'm at the bars at my Uni and a chick asks me about music, I just share the few mainstream acts I actually enjoy that she would know.

You really can't just say you've been enjoying Xiu Xiu and Ne Obliviscaris, because she will screw her face and not get over it until you find yourself having to fully explain the band in detail, and then she'll judge for it. Much better off saying " oh you know Juicy J and Passion Pit" and not digging yourself a hole.

>I listen to a lot of [genre], [somewhat accessible band that fits into [genre]] in particularly, but I've also been listening to a lot of [accessible band in different genre] and [other accessible band in different genre]. What about you?

The keys to appearing somewhat interesting is to show that you like a lot of different things, but at the same time make sure people can follow you and know the things you are talking about.
Also, it's important to let them talk.
People love talking about themselves and the things they like.

I actually do this. Then people ask me for specific genres so I just list off entry level but still obscure genres like Freak Folk, Shoegaze, Slowcore, and Post Rock before saying hipster bullshit again. I've found that people respond rather positively to it.

>>51524913
I answer Post-Rock straight off the bat most of the time, most people have at least heard Mogwai or Sigur Ros and it's a pretty easy concept to explain. You just have to play it so you don't look pretentious like "classical with guitars".

And then you rec them some third wave crescendocore. Bitches love EITS.

That's because Modest Mouse is in that sweet spot where people know the band but most don't listen to it actively, so plebs acknowledge the band's existence but since it's not something they or others they know listen to it must be hipster music.

Genres include: Funk, Soul, Reggae, Dub, Dancehall, D&b/Jungle, UKG, Hip hop, Grime, Trap/Drill, occasionally some punk or heavy metal but not very much appreciate all types of music but those are the ones that generally interest me

>Emo revival, indie rock, and pop-punk, mostly. Also some trip hop and post rock.
Don't be autistic and name any narrowed down subgenres, e.g. Vaporwave, Twinkle Daddies, Shoegaze Metal, etc." Just name the genres that you could fit them under. Vaporwave is electronic, Twinkle Daddies are emo/pop-punk, Shoegaze metal is metal. That way most people have at least some fucking idea of what you're talking about.

>>51521186
I told some guy this, after he claimed his friend listened to 'obscure artsy music' like 'Neutral Melk Hotel.'

>>51527247
>Vaporwave
Vaporwave is pluderphonics or experimental electronics.

>Shoegaze Metal
Deafheaven is not a band and the proper term is "post-metal" as retarded as it sounds.

>>51527239
Shit man, go listen to Red and Yellow & Green right now. They are both gold

>>51527297
I accidentally used the word plunderphonics at a party because I was drunk. Luckily nobody batted an eye.

I tell them that it's nothing they'd like, which is usually true.

>>51527347
Haha what did you think would happen?

>>51521186
This is exactly what I do. They get the picture and if they are interested in talking more about music. But when I'm drunk, I start telling people about all these bands that they should listen to when I know they wouldn't even like them but then I insist on showing them by playing a song for them with my phone. But I hate it when people do that to me. I need to stop doing that.

>>51527347
Plunderphonics is fine, since it's easy to explain and the concept actually holds a somewhat acceptable appeal in both philosophy and sound.
Try explaining and subsequently getting understanding for liking Mayuko Hino, with her core philosophy of "fuck art and fuck music".

>>51527297
>Vaporwave is pluderphonics or experimental electronics.
See, you're missing my point. Would you not categorize plunderphonic or experimental electronic under 'electronic'? Because I can promise you, the average stranger doesn't know what 'plunderphonics' are, and 'experimental' anything just sounds pretentious.
Yes, it doesn't specify at all the subgenre, and groups it with a million other artists that are completely different, but to most people, it's just gibberish. It's better to name something vague that they are familiar with, than to name something that they've never heard of and risk alienating anyone.
If they actually want to talk to you, they will inquire further. 'Oh, you mean like Aphex Twin and Daft Punk?' And from there you can start narrowing down what you like.

>>51527347
The meaning of plunderphonics is easy to infer if you are all English speakers, so it's not that bad.
I always cry about studying CS instead of music or whatever when I'm drunk, anyway, that's infinitely more embarrassing.

uhh..the beatles?

>>51527441
>Would you not categorize plunderphonics or experimental electronic under 'electronic'?
It's the vaguest you can go without losing most of the actual meaning and causing misunderstandings.

It's better to name something vague that they are familiar with, than to name something that they've never heard of and risk alienating anyone.
Everything in moderation, also throwing out terms they don't understand doesn't alienate you, it gives others holds to grab onto while you're talking.
Also, you do realize that LITERALLY, and I really do mean literally in its literal meaning, every single popular music piece is "electronic" these days, right?

Just tell the truth, if the person is genuinely interested in knowing, they'll ask more about what music you like. Alternately, you can just list off whatever stuff you've liked recently, because people are generally off-put by genres they don't know.

I'm really into this band called Behold the Arctopus right now. You might have heard their hit You Will Be Reincarnated as an Imperial Attack Spaceturtle from their album Nano-Nucleonic Cyborg Summoning. A lot of people like to go for the mainstream hit Alcoholocaust but to me that's them selling out. Fuck that. The rest of the album is killer.

You should check them out.

>>51531377
it's what he's doing though.

he's interested in music and he's afraid to own up to it so he just perpetuates the common useage of "hipster" as "someone who's interested in music"

by saying "hipster bullshit" when someone asks what music you listen to, you're just encouraging them to continue believing that someone even mildly interested in music beyond the mainstream is a hipster. it's self deprecating (which is autismal as fuck btw) and damaging to everyone who likes music. stop it.
