Do you have a default answer for the question 'which bands do you like'? Some time ago a person I had just met asked me and my brain FREEZED OUT completely. I wanted to be sincere but I didn't want to go on for half an hour talking about the bands I was listening at the time. Also I didn't want to sound like a ‘wrong generation’ jerk and say something like The Beatles, or Led Zeppelin (which also would not be very precise because it’s been months since the last time I sat and listened to that music). I was also a little bit concerned about only naming obscure (or not-so-obscure) bands that he would not probably know and sound like a pretentious fuck.
My point is, have you worked out a list of bands that kind of represents your music interests for social use only? And, is doing that as stupid as it sounds?

I always mentions genres I like, and maybe popular bands that represent that sort lf stuff, like Radiohead, and make sure to state I also listen to a bunch of other more obscure bands also.
>>
>>70086995
Just say genres
If they push for particular bands, I go for the most wellknown. Like the velvet underground

Flume is australian?
Anything from Ed Banger is good EDM. Check out Brainfeeder for more Wonky and if you wanna go IDM check out Warp Records.

What do you think about cultural appropriation in music?
Where do we draw the line between appreciation and appropriation?

As long as it respects the culture is ok. If he/she starts to insult/show too stereotypically the culture.. Meh
>>
i'm interested in anything that appropriates any sort of signifiers and plays with them, of subcultures or greater cultures
yes it's a moral grey area but that's part of what makes it fascinating

if it sounds good it's acceptable, if it doesnt it's not
