    I agree with this. For some reason I am pretty personal about what I’m listening to as well. Mostly if I know the person asking me won’t/doesn’t like it I just don’t care for them to comment that they don’t like it or think it’s weird what I’m listening to. Idk

      Some people (myself included) tie the music they like to a part of their soul, and exposing that to someone who may treat it with complete disregard feels very vulnerable

        So because you developed a parasocial relationship with the music you listen to you can’t tell someone the name of the song they hear you playing? Because that’s what we’re talking about here.

            No, it’s an inanimate sound production made by another person that someone is asking the name of.

            So why are they acting like it’s some person they feel a unique connection to that is somehow disturbed by answering what the title is? Why have they developed a parasocial relationship with a sound recording?

      I get it, that’s not uncommon. I’m always honest and say metal, but if I’m feelin a little crabby I’ll just leave it to whatever they think metal is.

      “Metal, like HURRRRR?”

      “Yep.”

      If they seem interested or cool about it I’ll elaborate, maybe give some examples. And I know that metal doesn’t have to be the HURRRRRRR stuff but that’s exactly what I like :D
