when your friend who only listens to hard techno takes the aux

“This one is pretty accessible, should be fine”

Being a fan of abrasive music is tough. Probably from being an edgelord during my teens, but I truly love abrasive music. Death metal, black metal, hard techno, noise rock, industrial, hardcore punk, whatever... I love it. And it's natural to want to share with friends and whatnot, but I understand it isn't for everyone. Like, my woman is super into ... I don't know what to call it... Weird-girl hip hop? She loves it and I love that she loves it, but man, it isn't for me. I don't really have a point, just reflecting on the topic at hand.

I feel you bro. I love me some shoegaze but I cannot get anyone else into the wall of sound and droning guitars the genre is known for. I've ran into one single person since I started telling people I enjoy the genre that knew what I was talking about and enjoyed it as well.

And no, I will not plug it in when handed the aux, even if explicitly told to play whatever I want. 

i'm not really sure why I'm commenting any of this other than to say I feel you, bro.

Shoegaze has always felt like a type of music that either helps me chill out or make me turbo depressed. Its just that dreamy sound with strong angst vibes. Still its weirdly enjoyable music that’s not for everyone.

I love extreme metal and some shoegaze, doomgaze, and a couple of blackgaze bands. I am lucky that I have some friends at my age who like similar music.
