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?

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.

Darude Sandstorm.

Not even joking

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.

Doesn't exist. I tell them what I like. If they can't handle the truth then it wouldn't work anyway.

I also don't have guilty pleasures. I enjoy things.

Nickelback.

Obviously the ska.

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.

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.

Aqua and Toy Box. Dog bless the early 2000’s

ive seen barry manilow in concert 4 times

Drum n bass

I will gladly tell them how much I like Weird Al.

ICP

Steely Dan. The worst part would be I won't stop talking about the drum solo in Aja.

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.

Taylor swift :p

depends, but I usually don't reference more of the occasional things I listen to , less of the electronic/breakcore or experimental/obviously avant garde (less Secret chiefs 3, more crossfire duo )

EDIT : my wife doesn't mind the tech death/grindcore, she does mind the free jazz/avant garde classical

Cbat, obviously

Carmeldansen in its original form is legitimately a good song and I actually love the whole album its from.

Mindless Self Indulgence

I have some Brittany Spears and Backstreet Boys on my gym mix.

I love singing Kalinika... I'd probably avoid mentioning it because Russia is an authoritarian state that likely wouldn't approve of me dating the person I'm talking to. Also, the Russian government sucks in like a billion other ways.

I'd rather listen to Raditude than Pinkerton...

Metal. A lot of people kinda freak out when they hear you like metal of any kind. And not in a good way.

French deep house from 2016.

Metro Station - Shake It

2000 - 2010's indie rock/pop like the kooks, mando diao, vampire weekend, etc

Marching band music. Can’t get enough of it.

Kpop. But to be fair, I listen to a wide variety of genres, from prog rock to metal, r&b, EDM, and film scores.

I'm going to save the Powerwolf and Lord of the Lost until maybe the third date...

Spinal Meningitis by Ween.

On a lighter note, I loves me some Señor Coconut.

Sonic the Hedgehog soundtracks, specifically the songs with vocals. Haven't kept up with the series in a while but my playlist has songs from everything from Sonic CD to Sonic and the Black Knight. I'm sure some of it is actually good music and some I only like because it reminds me of Sonic.

I guess it'll take a few more dates before I show her What I'm Made of...

italo-disco. though i might reveal that in a later moment.

I don't really have guilty pleasures, but I'd probably keep Pupil Slicer and HIDE for the third or fourth date...

There's a Ghoooooost in me
That wants to say I'm sorry
Doesn't mean I'm sorry...

MC Frontalot.

I don't know how she woud react to the entire ratchet & clank OST so I probably wouldn't show her this.

...every once in awhile i listen to top fourty countdowns from the mid-eighties, not necessarily because i enjoy the music, but because i'm mesmerised by the time-warp effect of revisiting period radio programs...

...i disliked a lot of the music then but i appreciated the shared cultural experience of legitimately popular broadcast media, and retrospectively it's a window into a world which no longer exists...
