How do others respond to your musical taste?
Katili:
I have a [ton of] badge on my messenger bag. (how emo)
It says "You will hate my music." and has an emo kid holding a stereo.
People do what the badge says.

Well, I am the youngest at 23, the next youngest and coincedently my favorite coworker is 30. Aside from her the rest are a bunch of 50+ year old dudes who are pretty nice guys but they are pretty dated as far as music and some attitudes.

From my friends - blank stares and raised eyebrows. I'm always reminded I can't talk music with them. It's extremely frustrating.

I wear endless shit from my friends about my music.
About Future Sound Of London: "Hey, man, I think you got ripped off. You bought this thinking it was *music*"
About Autechre: "How do you pronounce it? Awtokremermoofnig?"
Hell, not even a bit of honest indie got a favourable reaction (OK, it was Blueberry Boat): "You know, I don't think I'll ever understand your taste in music"
My father had nicer things to say, and he's the classical music snob from way back.
Garcin:
Autechre and FSOL? Consider yourself lucky. Accidentally including Haujobb in a mix when my Top 40 loving friends were over was not fun. They honestly thought that something was wrong with my computer.
Add to that the fact that I'm still not over Massive Attack's Blue Lines, sometimes have dreams where Funeral is the theme song, occasionally furtively listen to Offspring's Smash when I think noone is looking, think that Cesaria Evora was touched by some higher power, wiggle rythmically to Los Fabulosos Cadillacs, and have underinformed but profound appreciations for things done to a piano by both Miles Davis and Martha Argerich . . . well let's just say that I'm a musical mess.
My policy is that whenever I find someone who likes any 10 albums I like, I feel fortunate, and start inviting them to shows.
