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.
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.

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.
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.
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
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
...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...
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.
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...
