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.

They know I'm gonna be okay.

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 actually went on an ICP rabbit hole earlier this year and played all the videos I didn't know existed. I just listened to their albums in my youth. Luckily my wife used to listen to them as well and we made it a drunken night of it.
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
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'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.

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.
Tyoda@lemm.ee · 31 pts · 1y
The fun part is that you'll have people complaining about it either way!

Not only is it more readable and aesthetically-pleasing, singular "they" is more inclusive of people outside the gender binary!

Because "they" refers to multiple people?
Alinor@lemmy.world · 40 pts · 1y
It doesn't though. They has been used for singular without knowing the gender for a long time.

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?

I was taught this very aggressively in school, but it turns out that it’s just not true and there’s a long history of singular they.
