>First day of class >Class does Icebreakers, and the topic

why do you like video game music?

>>69712906
anon chiptune is a really lame favorite genre

>>69712906
the correct answer is "alt rock"
it's generic and no normies will judge you

but this thread is bait anyway

>>69712938
This

kinda same thing happened to me
>person: OMG TRIPLE BAKA!?
>me: yeah yo, you like vocaloid? what's your favorite album my dude?
>person: I don't know an album T-T
YOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!

>normies ask me what music i listen to
>emo
>oh, like My Chemical Romance
>no, like American Football
>silence

I cringe thinking about it.

>>69712990
>I cringe thinking about it.

Yeah me too. In fact every single post in this thread is disgusting.

>>69712938
Thirding this. There's decent chiptune out there, but as a favorite genre?


Usually in this situation I'll say "Electronic" which honestly covers all my favorite genres, but for whatever reason I feel like people default "electronic" as generic techno that goes "nnnts nnnts nnnts nnnts"

How do I say metal without sounding like an edgelord

>>69713067
"Blackened funeral doom"

>>69713280
nothing wrong with being a normie. but i sperged out hoping they would at least know a little about emo.

wow you all sound like insecure retards

>>69712965
the correct answer is "Mariah Carey on repeat"

>>69713067
Tell them your favorite bands are Infant Annihilator and Prostitute Disfigurement.

>>69713423
Fuck you, you don't know the struggle of being a normal, well-adjusted person who hangs out with normal, well-adjusted people yet listens primarily to metal and other extreme music variants

>>69713544
Nice bait. I've never met a metalhead who was that embarrassingly insecure.

>>69713544
I listen to Boris, Shiina Ringo, Burzum, Fishmans, etc

I'm pretty normal, and dont care about any of this shit now kys

I listen to high quality rips.

>>69713577
>pop and shoegaze is difficult to understand because it's Japanese

who's the real autist here

past few times i've answered "noisy stuff"
everyone is all
>u mean metal rite i liek metal!

i think i work with morons...
they even all named significantly different bands

almost everyone i know loves cumbia and banda to death

>>69714186
I'm a Mexican in a white area so everyone likes dadrock while my family is here with cumbia and ranchera

>>69714209
most white mexicans usually listen to 80s pop and whatever stuff televisa plays

O I AM LAFFIN

>>69712906
the only reason this is a problem for you is because you base your whole identity on music taste and nothing else, no one cares what music you listen to anon

>>69714409
>say im normal
>complains as if i said I wasnt

epik

>some guy in my class walks up and asks what i'm listening to
>at the time i was listening to a lot of noise because EDGE and because it helped me study
>he puts on the headphones and shouts
>"IT'S JUST STATIC. WHAT THE HECK ANON YOU ACTUALLY LISTEN TO THIS"
>he took the headphones and showed some other people while i was just kind of awkwardly trying to explain to people what it was
>people still will tell me to play "THE WHITE NOISE SONG" again
that's what i get for being unironically edgy

>>69712906
Stop listening to video game music faggot

>>69712938
>>69712975
>falling for this stale pasta

Jesus you guys are autistic

>>69712906
You deserve it for being a fag

>some guy I work with wants to talk about music
>is surprised that I know who Tom Waits is
>another guy is surprised I know who Public Image Ltd is
I honestly didn't think either were that obscure but I guess they are to most people at the place I work.

>>69712906
They're right, you know

> in science class
> teacher asks who everyone's favorite band is
> we go around, the 15 kids before me all say Led Zeppelin
> I want to be different, so I say "probably The Who or The Jimi Hendrix Experience"
> half the kids after me say Led Zeppelin, but the other half say Jimi Hendrix
That was the biggest societal influence I've ever had, and is perhaps my shining moment. I was 15 at the time, and it was 12 years ago.

>"I listen to really weird stuff, my favourite is some guy called aphex twin"

>>69712906
why are you posting this pasta?

>>69712906
I feel you.
>put on Rush Coil's 8bit Christmas at work
>"lmao anon is this mario christmas or something? XD"
>play Summer Magic from 3flavors of 8bit
>"anon play that kirby song again. shit was dope"
Sorry if no one recognizes the titles. They're all on bandcamp.

You can't blame people though. People who don't recognize 8bit as a genre will associate it with the closest thing that they do recognize, which happens to be classic videogames.

ITT: Newfag filter.

>>69715397
I think I used to say something like this, unironically, when I was in college.

But is it even worth looking like a tool for saying it like this? All the conversations about music I've had with people have been shitty. (note: i'm a shutin)

>>69715509
It's turbo cringe because afx isn't weird music at all.

Only normies consider afx to be "wow wut a trip duuude"

>>69715496
How do people not recognize this pasta

>>69712906
I just say rock after trying to explain what post-rock was during my edgier years.

>in the same class some guy tries to explain to everyone what shoegaze is
>try to give him the "I know you man" nod then he cuts contact with me entirely
Speech class is gay.

>>69715496
Editing pastas is a stale meme anyway

>>69712990
This is exactly like these horrible fucking yt comments. "You say My Chemical Romance, I say American Football." I swear to god dude do us all a favor and please just kill yourself.

that woman looks like she's having an orgasm

>>69714409

dude if you think normies are listening to Boris and Fishmans you are really out of touch
