None!
There should be no guilty pleasures in music. Especially dating. It’s much more attractive to have a wide range of tastes and be comfortable with what you like.
yea exactly. I don’t feel guilty for the music I like
Insane Clown Posse
Nickelback.
If I have to hate a reasonably decent pop rock band to earn points I shouldn’t even be on the date.
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.
Why isn’t it just common practice to just use “they” instead the entirely cumbersome “he/her”?
Like it’s just so much easier to type out and say, and it’s just better to use regardless.
Love how the top comment doesn’t even answer the question. But TIL, I guess. If I had known this option existed, I probably would have used it. I’m going to play the “not a native english speaker”-card on this one.
The fun part is that you’ll have people complaining about it either way!
Yea, but the people who complain about “they” are assholes so we can safely ignore them.
I am offended by your use of ‘people’, that excludes folk and kin!
Rawr!
You were not appreciated in your time.
Because “they” refers to multiple people?
My friend forgot their umbrella at the office.
They nervously answered the phone.
They’re a lazy motherfucker.
I gave my friend a hug and wished them a speedy recovery.
Any of those sound unusual, or like they’re referring to more than one person?
Singular “they” actually predates singular “you”.
It doesn’t though. They has been used for singular without knowing the gender for a long time.
Like at least since English has been a language.
Not only is it more readable and aesthetically-pleasing, singular “they” is more inclusive of people outside the gender binary!
Darude Sandstorm.
Not even joking
You can always use the recorder cover to see if they make a comment about liking the real version.
Banger.
Die Antwoord
italo-disco. though i might reveal that in a later moment.
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.
I don’t know what I was expecting, but that was so much more.
Hyperpop. I’m a Christian and only date other Christians and many of those songs have pretty lewd lyrics.
That sucks that you can’t just be yourself
Yeah, there’s a part of me that wants to stop caring and just show some of that music to whoever I’m on a date with.
I don’t know how she woud react to the entire ratchet & clank OST so I probably wouldn’t show her this.
I have some Brittany Spears and Backstreet Boys on my gym mix.
Steely Dan. The worst part would be I won’t stop talking about the drum solo in Aja.
I bought a Front242 CD from a record shop once, got home to find out the staff had grabbed Steely Dan CD an put that in the case accidentally. (The days before tamper proof display adapters, where the media was stored behind the counter)
MC Frontalot.
That’s a deep cut right there
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 see a potential fellow days n daze enjoyer…?
Nothing “potential” about it. :)
A cultured individual indeed, they’re my favourite band
My “Hey! It’s Franklin!” CD.
