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?

Darude Sandstorm.
Not even joking

You can always use the recorder cover to see if they make a comment about liking the real version.
-
-
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.
-
yea exactly. I don't feel guilty for the music I 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.
-
If I have to hate a reasonably decent pop rock band to earn points I shouldn't even be on the date.
-
I don't have a baseline when it comes to pop songs. Also, I have never been on a date anyways. So, it's all good.

-
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.
-
To be fair, A Cruel Angels Thesis is really nice.
-
-
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.

I don't know what I was expecting, but that was so much more.

Aqua and Toy Box. Dog bless the early 2000’s
-
Drum n bass
-
ive seen barry manilow in concert 4 times
-
That's pretty fucking awesome.
-
hes just one of those guys that gives a solid live performance. he sounds exactly like the albums, not a lot of extra bullshit.. mostly him and the piano.
similar with weird al.. my hands down favorite live artist.
-

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

Came here for this. I can still recite a crazy number of those songs 20+ years after I stopped listening to them.

Was it Queen of the Clouds? I like Lady Wood and Blue Lips too, but QOTC is just such a "leave it on, no need to skip any tracks" album for me. Such a vibe.

Taylor swift :p

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.
-
Steely Dan. The worst part would be I won't stop talking about the drum solo in Aja.
-
I bought a Front242 CD from a record shop once, got home to find out the staff had grabbed Steely Dan CD an put that in the case accidentally. (The days before tamper proof display adapters, where the media was stored behind the counter)
-
-
Mindless Self Indulgence
-
I kinda forgot about them, but same. "Frakenstein Girls Will Seem Strangely Sexy" got a lot of plays from me when I was in highschool
-
-
Carmeldansen in its original form is legitimately a good song and I actually love the whole album its from.
-
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
-
Post the whole playlist you coward. I wanna see just how bad it is.
-
Godawful clownfuck music and yes I also like that one
-
-
I have some Brittany Spears and Backstreet Boys on my gym mix.
-
Metal. A lot of people kinda freak out when they hear you like metal of any kind. And not in a good way.
-
Sounds like the kind of people i would not wanna have a second date with..
-
-
I'd rather listen to Raditude than Pinkerton...
-
Holy mackerel
-
I see why. I think that sentence just broke my brain a little.
-
Just casually admitting crimes in public.
-
-
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.
-
Spinal Meningitis by Ween.
On a lighter note, I loves me some Señor Coconut.
-
Marching band music. Can’t get enough of it.
-
Dude, I would be ecstatic if my hypothetical date said they listen to marching band music. Please recommend me some.
-
I'm not big into matching band music, but I went to a MarchFourth concert on a whim and had a fun time. Lots of juggling, hula hooping, dancing. They even had a guy doing yo-yo tricks to a saxophone solo.

French deep house from 2016.
-
-
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...
-
I'm going to save the Powerwolf and Lord of the Lost until maybe the third date...
-
They might realise you play paradox games and be weirded out
-
-
Metro Station - Shake It
-
2000 - 2010's indie rock/pop like the kooks, mando diao, vampire weekend, etc
-
-
I don't really have guilty pleasures, but I'd probably keep Pupil Slicer and HIDE for the third or fourth date...
-
MC Frontalot.
-
That's a deep cut right there
-
-
I don't know how she woud react to the entire ratchet & clank OST so I probably wouldn't show her this.
-
Insane Clown Posse
-
Probably the cursed remixes on YouTube, they don't need to know how much of a banger beatswapped uptown funk is.
-
italo-disco. though i might reveal that in a later moment.
-
Demi Lovato's first album, Don't Forget. It absolutely slaps but it's difficult for me to talk about it.
-
Donk is a 2nd or 3rd date kind of genre.
-
My "Hey! It's Franklin!" CD.
-
Denpa music.
-
https://youtu.be/4nyHPIcbn88 (nsfw lyrics)
-
Die Antwoord
-
I just watched Zef on Prime and it gave me a whole new perspective on them.
-
-
Hurra Torpedo
-
Some Baby Metal songs.
-
My Chemical Romance — the first two albums at least, wasn't a fan of "Black Parade"
-
Nah, I'm gonna own it because if they don't like KiNG MALA then they probably won't like being with me
-
Snake River Conspiracy
-
I like the vacations
-
New Age. Lot of Jonn Serrie.
-
King motherfucking Gordy
-
Why would drag go on a date with someone who uses he or she pronouns? Drag prefers enbies who present as neither male nor female.
-
Over clocked remix

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.
The fun part is that you'll have people complaining about it either way!
Yea, but the people who complain about "they" are assholes so we can safely ignore them.
I am offended by your use of 'people', that excludes folk and kin!
Rawr!
Not only is it more readable and aesthetically-pleasing, singular "they" is more inclusive of people outside the gender binary!
Love how the top comment doesn't even answer the question. But TIL, I guess. If I had known this option existed, I probably would have used it. I'm going to play the "not a native english speaker"-card on this one.
Because "they" refers to multiple people?
It doesn't though. They has been used for singular without knowing the gender for a long time.
Singular "they" actually predates singular "you".
My friend forgot their umbrella at the office.
They nervously answered the phone.
They're a lazy motherfucker.
I gave my friend a hug and wished them a speedy recovery.
Any of those sound unusual, or like they're referring to more than one person?
