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?

      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.

        Yea, but the people who complain about “they” are assholes so we can safely ignore them.

      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.

      Not only is it more readable and aesthetically-pleasing, singular “they” is more inclusive of people outside the gender binary!

      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.

      You can always use the recorder cover to see if they make a comment about liking the real version.

    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

      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.

        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

      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.

    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.

        hes just one of those guys that gives a solid live performance. he sounds exactly like the albums, not a lot of extra bullshit… mostly him and the piano.

        similar with weird al… my hands down favorite live artist.
