If I have to hate a reasonably decent pop rock band to earn points I shouldn't even be on the date.

[–] fckreddit@lemmy.ml 5 points 1 week ago

I don't have a baseline when it comes to pop songs. Also, I have never been on a date anyways. So, it's all good.

I'm personally not a fan of most of their albums, but I have to say that put on a great live show. They started as a cover band and last I saw them, they did a bunch of covers of 70-80s rock, all of which were very well done.

[–] andrewta@lemmy.world 14 points 1 week ago

Doesn't exist. I tell them what I like. If they can't handle the truth then it wouldn't work anyway.

I also don't have guilty pleasures. I enjoy things.

[–] Volkditty@lemmy.world 12 points 1 week ago

Obviously the ska.

So I put my hands up. They're playin' my song, the butterflies fly away. I'm noddin' my head like, yeah. Movin' my hips like, yeah. I got my hands up, they're playin' my song. They know I'm gonna be okay. Yeah, it's a party in the U.S.A. Yeah, it's a party in the U.S.A.

My workout playlist consists of anime openings and Power Metal. I don't watch anime nor play D&D, but I like the fast-paced and fantasy/superhero style.

I have a philosophy to always expose my craziest parts cuz if they dont like them it eventually wont work anyway so id play cupcakke x mario kart remixes for them

[–] MeowZedong@lemmygrad.ml 8 points 1 week ago

I appreciate this and will do the same. 10 hours of They're Taking the Hobbits to Isengard. Anyone who can make it at least 3 hours and is singing along instead of stabbing me is a go for date two.

Steely Dan. The worst part would be I won't stop talking about the drum solo in Aja.

I have some Brittany Spears and Backstreet Boys on my gym mix.

[–] nickwitha_k@lemmy.sdf.org 7 points 1 week ago (1 children)

It's your first date and she/he asks what type of music you like. What's the guilty pleasure you won't tell her/him about?

I love music and hate but being myself (AuADHD weeeee) so, they're going to hear an honest answer. If they're not down with my love of folk punk and what I classify as "shitty punk rock" (you just the kind - overly-compressed, terribly mixed, played by people who barely know how to tune a guitar), well, that's fair enough. Same as if they aren't up for my, AuADHD - neurodivergence can be a bit to handle.

I will gladly tell them how much I like Weird Al.

[–] Akasazh@feddit.nl 4 points 1 week ago (2 children)

That's not really the question, though

I went on a 160 mile bike ride and wound up listening to the same Tove Lo album on repeat the entire time, not because it was too much of a hassle to change up the music or anything

[–] riot@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Was it Queen of the Clouds? I like Lady Wood and Blue Lips too, but QOTC is just such a "leave it on, no need to skip any tracks" album for me. Such a vibe.

[–] _bcron_@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

It was Lady Wood. I think QOTC is 'the album' but I usually listen to stuff that's newer to me when I'm out exploring, so I was giving Lady Wood a fair shake. The songs I like the most on that album are so evenly distributed that I'd just zone out through one song and get excited to hear the next one

Carmeldansen in its original form is legitimately a good song and I actually love the whole album its from.

[–] Skullgrid@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

depends, but I usually don't reference more of the occasional things I listen to , less of the electronic/breakcore or experimental/obviously avant garde (less Secret chiefs 3, more crossfire duo )

EDIT : my wife doesn't mind the tech death/grindcore, she does mind the free jazz/avant garde classical

[–] hallettj@leminal.space 5 points 1 week ago (3 children)

I'd rather listen to Raditude than Pinkerton...

[–] Notyou@sopuli.xyz 4 points 1 week ago

I see why. I think that sentence just broke my brain a little.

[–] everett@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 week ago

Just casually admitting crimes in public.

Holy mackerel

Hyperpop. I'm a Christian and only date other Christians and many of those songs have pretty lewd lyrics.

I love singing Kalinika... I'd probably avoid mentioning it because Russia is an authoritarian state that likely wouldn't approve of me dating the person I'm talking to. Also, the Russian government sucks in like a billion other ways.

[–] FigMcLargeHuge@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Spinal Meningitis by Ween.

On a lighter note, I loves me some SeΓ±or Coconut.

[–] Alice@beehaw.org 3 points 1 week ago

Sonic the Hedgehog soundtracks, specifically the songs with vocals. Haven't kept up with the series in a while but my playlist has songs from everything from Sonic CD to Sonic and the Black Knight. I'm sure some of it is actually good music and some I only like because it reminds me of Sonic.

I guess it'll take a few more dates before I show her What I'm Made of...

[–] Pooptimist@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

2000 - 2010's indie rock/pop like the kooks, mando diao, vampire weekend, etc

Metro Station - Shake It

I'm going to save the Powerwolf and Lord of the Lost until maybe the third date...

Kpop. But to be fair, I listen to a wide variety of genres, from prog rock to metal, r&b, EDM, and film scores.

[–] sunbrrnslapper@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

French deep house from 2016.

[–] AllNewTypeFace@leminal.space 3 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Marching band music. Can’t get enough of it.
