    It’s kind of nice when people reveal themselves to be insufferable douchebags at the outset rather than wasting your time.

      As my wife will tell you, there are benefits to being married to an insufferable douchebag. Chiefly, you can be pretty confident they won’t play around on you, because no one else will have them.

      He has a valid point there. If he doesn’t want to say , you keep talking the same shit and expect a different answer?

        Not wanting to answer a question is fine, but doing that by just being pretentious isn’t a good way of going about it. Being forthcoming about not really wanting to talk about your music preferences is fine, changing the subject politely is also fine so you don’t leave the onus of carrying conversation entirely on the other person.

        Acting like your music choices are too out there for anyone else to understand is a good way to not have them relate to you in any way.
