Mewithoutyou
Streetlight Manifesto
The American Dollar
Strike Anywhere
With Regards to Silence (Local band)
Thrice

You identify as a self-righteous nerd. You think people are mean spirited when they tease you for listening to ska. You resent any mainstream or alternative brand of "cool" and so does/will your girlfriend.

Surprisingly Accurate!  Though I tend to be too apathetic to muster up anything approaching self-righteous resentment.

EXCEPTION: My girlfriend listens mostly to pop/hip-hop.  She also enjoys post-rock a good deal, so we usually settle on that.

You sometimes lurk the QC music forums, but very rarely. You're starting to become interested in what everyone else is listening to, but really it's just music so you are like "whatev". In time though, you will become more bitter and more angry and slowly, though you won't realize it at the time, become One Of Us.

Man, how did I miss this. You are right in the first sentence. Mostly I go through and go "what the heck is this?" I get music from forumites, though, just rarely through the actual forum.

GET OUT OF HERE, STALKER!


The reason I say this is because it strikes me as the kind of music that someone who likes Tarkovsky films would like.  Stalker was my favorite, and there was a game that had a hilarious bug involving that quote based on the movie. 

But seriously, a lot of those bands make music that leaves me thinking about just sitting somewhere devoid of people and observing nature carry on around me.  Tarkovsky films do this to me also. 

Therefore, you are a fan of Tarkovsky films, as well as many other directors who use long takes and lots of nature-centric imagery.  You might even be a film student (I recall reading you saying this somewhere, so that's kind of cheating), but as is evident from the dreamlike quality of the music you listen to, your head is in the clouds a lot and you strive to find or create imagery that mimics the effect that music has on you.

I am not very good at this.

Close, yet so far. I am not a film student, however I am an art student. Also, I have never seen any Tarkovsky films. But you'd be right to say that I would probably like them a lot. I do have a tendency to build my Art directly out of the aesthetic motifs processes and materials (often natural) that surround me without overlaying my own "style", if i have one. So, yes.

What I meant by that was that he should listen to some music that doesn't make him feel like a poser (because those artists are OK for white people to like) but doesn't make him feel painfully white either (because those artists have cred with black people too).
OK, so I'm black, but I'm self conscious about it, because I like Broken Social Scene. What do I listen to?

You'd love going out to indie clubs and bars talking to indie chicks with long dyed hair but your love for indie boys gets in the way.
It is highly likely that you smoke pot yet don't consider yourself a pothead.
More than once you get incredibly depressed and think everything sucks and is going to pieces until your happy schizophrenic twin kicks back in and you make love to each other.

You are the kind of person who would listen to Avril Lavigne a lot, despite not enjoying her music at all, just to throw people off.  You enjoy doing things just to be a dick sometimes, because in your mind, someone's gonna have to do it eventually, so it might as well be you.  You are not necessarily a dick because of this, you just have dick-like tendencies.  dick

no, not angry

Typical white person? Who wants to be cool, and possibly over-uses Limewire?

no, i think Pants had it right. i'll find a song i like on the radio and then look it up on youtube for a video and then for all possible techno remixes. if i really like it i'll download the artist with torrents to find out more about them.

You guys are pretty good. I didn't think it would be so easy.
