I don’t think you know what pretentious means, but I absolutely will continue cringing at cringeworthy material.  

i'm sure i know the word, perhaps you lack the self-awareness?

carry on, then

Yes, in school 

I was showing my friend the CD of The Fame and my classmate said to me: "Do you like lady gaga?" in a gross way and I was so scared and replied to him: "no, this is from my sister, not mine"  

This happened in 2010 lol

yeh man. This cuts deep actually. I’m even still embarrassed to admit liking artists like Gaga to some people in case I come across as too ‘gay’ - and I’ve been out for 17 years. That’s my **** but it comes from bullying in the past.

I like Lady Gaga, of course the heteros come out to play

Most of my straight friends like her music

Actually I made my friends love Gaga, seriously. And I don't even do anything. 

I have a taste for mainly pop music. Let it be indie-pop, avantgarde-pop, experimental-pop, but it's still pop music. But I don't find my taste in music to be bad or something (quite the opposite actually), so whenever someone tries to shame it, I just brush it off.

Well i get bit nervous when people look into what im listening. Tbh most brave thing ive ever done, lool was listening to sl on speakers walking in the street, back when it was leaked. Cause i dont have phones earphones and needed to listen to it. 

Tho my experience has been also the othrr part. I like hip hop, afrobeat, kuduro (used to, nowadays not so much), and id get, u like this?? In a judgy way as thats not for me. 

Also some of my punk friends would do that.

Most of the time. I don't like to be boring

[MANiCURE 6 10,295]

Always by my friends... They don't have taste tho 

[2School4Cool 6,449]

I for sure have (often as a joke) but honestly it doesn’t matter what other people think, music taste is subjective and we all love different things.

I’ve found metal fans to be the worst by far 

I mean there are snobs on every genre community. Metal has a lot of subgenres with fanbases different from each other. I’ve found that the most annoying ones tend to be death metal and black metal fans. There’s also a lot of fighting between metal fanbases. Many bash metalcore or nu metal and say it’s not « real metal » Those also tend to bash the most mainstream bands like Metallica because they’re too popular.

But that’s just generalizations. Not everyone is like that, and many enjoy most metal subgenres and other genres outside of the metal/rock umbrella.

My music taste:

- has exquisite lyrics

- great production

- shows that music has no barriers when it comes to language

- All Too Well

- Marry the Night

The ones who shamed me for it:

- only likes songs when they're popular and hates it when they're not anymore

- has no sense when it comes to lyrics

- likes Yummy by Justin Bieber

I had to make a playlist for a... I don't know how to call it, but it's some kind of a party at the end of the school year.

So I've chosen 120 songs (yes, I know it's a LOT) and few days before the party I showed it to my classmates. When they saw it I heard things like: What is it??? What have you chosen?? We won't listen to your stupid songs!
