    Music and entertainment tastes in general tend to be quite personal, so it’s probably a bit of insecurity. He’ll get over it, just explain that it’s not a test, you’re just chatting. Maybe share some of yours first or something

      Oh I told him that and I do share mine but they hate it. Imagine being so old they think Thrid Eye Blind, Match Box Twenty, and Goo Goo Dolls is old music.

      Haven’t even got to classic rock like AC/DC, Aerosmith etc. I don’t know what to do.

      I agree with this. For some reason I am pretty personal about what I’m listening to as well. Mostly if I know the person asking me won’t/doesn’t like it I just don’t care for them to comment that they don’t like it or think it’s weird what I’m listening to. Idk

      My favorite band is one that I tend not to tell people about because it’s too much trouble explaining what they are.

      It’s Sigur Ros, and anyone who knows them knows the struggle.

      But it’s definitely not some basic 21 Pilots that everyone knows.

          Yeah. Imagine thinking Sigurd Ros is obscure music. If all you listen to us radio maybe. But if you’re at all interested in music you will have heard of them.

          They didn’t even fill the Cobb theater in ATL the last time they came.

          They’re certainly not very popular. I don’t know anyone in real life who knows them who weren’t introduced by me.

            Yeah I guess they aren’t as big in the US, that’s fair. But they are very popular within their genre and in Europe
