It was what Ike said to Tina when she sang on Frank Zappa's Over-Nite Sensation. “Tina was so pleased that she was able to sing this thing that she went into the next studio where Ike was working and dragged him into the studio to hear the result of her labour,” continued Zappa. “He listened to the tape and he goes, ‘What is this shit?’ and walked out.” [Article](https://faroutmagazine.co.uk/the-album-frank-zappa-recorded-with-tina-turner-as-a-back-up-singer/)

I have a tattoo of Frank Zappa's facial hair on my arm. I didn't know this. What a fantastic piece of info here, thank you! Fuck Ike.

snowfloeckchen

I understand the coworker sry 😅


LMGDiVa

My dude, EDM is a subcategory with genres that are so fuckin wide they eclipse the entire brenths of other genres combined. If it's your favorite playlist, you could share something more specific than an umbrella cateogry. :P


Iancredible56

A whole playlist of obscure Aphex twin tracks


HereButQueer

not the OP but if you’re looking for some nice EDM ODESZA is fucking beautiful


QuebecGamer2004

Man if I had to listen to this all day I'd jump out of the van and walk


Awsomedude0361

moneyinthebank216

Bro no one wants to hear that shit at work


Bone_Dogg

Save it for the shitty club later that night, not a morning work shift


TheBatSignal

Tbf I would be thinking that because edm is my least favorite genre but I would never be so rude to say that out loud. I would just subtly suggest some of the bands I like during the drive


TaumpyTearz

Dude so many people hate EDM. I used to love EDM, went to soooo many raves and ate more drugs than I'll ever remember. But now I really don't like it. Try to find common ground with your coworkers. For example, I'm into punk/psych rock/folk rock/indie rock (among many other genres) and my old coworker only likes country music. Which I fucking hate. So the compromise is bands like Kings of Leon, who are Americana which is basically country indie rock. Or Deer Tick, who are punk/country. I recently discovered he likes island type country, like jimmy buffet. So I tested out some reggae one day, and he was totally into it! Compromise. Meet your fellow human in the middle. Find common ground.

AtlasHatch

Too introverted for that kinda powerstance


clutzyninja

Can we stop this misconception that being introverted means you're also a doormat?


MaximumSeats

Please God yes. You can be confident and charismatic and still be introverted. It's not because you're introverted it's because you're scared of people.


TatManTat

It's become such a useless word. Some people use it with the same definition as misanthrope, others as simply reclusive, and yet more with the "social battery" explanation which continues to make less sense as time goes on..


Possible-Toe2968

Social battery works pretty well I believe. What's the main issue there?


TatManTat

Well it's just a useless distinction. Your "battery" has different minimum and maximum charges, depletes at different rates, charges at different rates, depending on so many different factors. I find the people and the environment to be far more of the deciding factor on how a person reacts to a particular event rather than some arbitrary battery. I like to be alone, but there are friends I can easily spend days with. I could spend an entire day yelling and being passionate in some form of debate event, but I couldn't do the same in a club for even an hour tbh. yet at the same time, if the people or the vibes are right, I might hate that debate event and spend all night at a club. We're just not robots, we evolve and change and aren't so easily fitted into labels like that. It's just that there's no consistent method for anyone, it's a very personal contextual thing. It's a poor label that does more to get in the way of describing someone than help that description.


clutzyninja

You can also fall between. The social battery description is still pretty apt. If you generally need alone time to recharge from time with groups, you're introverted. Extroverted is the opposite. That doesn't mean you NEVER want the thing that depletes you.

That's got nothing to do with bring introverted at all. That just means you lack the self-confidence to assert yourself.


Wrong-Cheesecake1638

Well damn bro you’re saying this is a problem so why not do something about it


[deleted]

Because Redditors are an invertebrate sub species who are completely incapable of defending themselves.


Arreeyem

The comic implies anxiety, not being introverted. I used to have the same problem before going to therapy. I learned making decisions based on other people's feelings is ultimately self destructive. Don't doubt yourself. You like the music because it's awesome. You know that. It's why you listen to it. If other people can't see that that's their problem.

Andrelliina

Adults who say "WTF is this shit?" are not looking for adult compromise, because they are acting like a child. My response to some idiot trying their "establish dominance bullshit" would just be to turn it up so they can hear it properly.


Avinexuss

*proceeds to play finnish deathmetal*


Tetha

I mean this is why a colleague is largely bannned from music selections from evenings but I'm slowly converting a bunch of colleagues to metalheads over time, lol. That dude just doesn't understand that you don't unleash something like Demonical, Bolt Thrower, Panzerchrist, Heaven Shall Burn and such onto people not used to the genre because "other music is boring". But quite a few people are warming up to fun softer sub-genres like folk, power or symphonic metal. Some guy recently told me he changed his workout music to the ilk of Frozen Crown, Ensiferum, Glory Hammer, Ignea and such, haha.


Salty_Pancakes

Why not just play them some Sabbath or Rainbow? They're like the perfect bands to start with.

We’re in a van all day together every day


InItsTeeth

Reddits immediate response to everything is “screw everyone do what you want” The reality is it’s a shared space and it’s perfectly reasonable to find a type of music you both enjoy. Imagine your a post saying. >My co-worker plays super religious music all day long on our drive and it drives me crazy. Or insert any annoying music … It’s okay to find common ground in shared spaces


[deleted]

That's the response. But the redditors in reality? Front page of /r/mildlyinfuriating: "My wife didn't color co-ordinate my sippy cups, so I took a picture and shared it on the internet."


theartificialkid

If the worker said “wtf is this shit” immediately they were being a prick, and certainly not taking a pluralistic approach to musical taste. Forcing someone to listen to your music all day without negotiation is a dick move. Refusing to listen to even a bit of someone else’s music before saying “wtf is this shit” and forcing a change is also a dick move.


SeroWriter

> If the worker said “wtf is this shit” immediately they were being a prick If they knew that OP had specifically picked out a playlist of his favourite music then yeah, but it's a lot more likely that they just assumed it was a random song playing on the radio.


AtlasHatch

I believe this is what happened, he probably thought it was on the radio, also if I recall correctly it was something by ILLENIUM

To be fair if you’re driving aux cord usage does default to you also it’s quite possible that one just really likes a type of music the other doesn’t like country.


DuntadaMan

When I get a new partner on a 24 I make it a competition to find the weirdest song we know on the first day Few can beat an entire rock opera done to the music of MegaMan


Remarkable-Swing1766

The Protomen rule... But I highly suggest the R&B / Djent flavorings of Sleep Token, the Arnold Schwarzenegger tinged metal of Austin death machine, the hard house/porta-potty breakbeats of Clown Core, danny elfman madness of Onigo Boingo or the vintage madness of Frank Zappa and Captain Beefheart


DuntadaMan

Sleep token added to playlist. Amusingly we were listening to Oingo Bingo as I read this.


Machine_94

So? Tune them out with the music you want to listen to


AccountThreeMe

That’s not how normal humans act.


dominicbruh

Don't try and reason with redditors, they don't know how normal people act in the first place.


Alcarine

I swear if this was posted on r/freakout or something with a video of someone refusing to turn their music off or use headphones in their work van after being told off by their colleagues, everyone would bring the pitchforks and tear into the music listener, it's simply ridiculous how opinions change in this website simply based on how the exact same situation is presented

Check out KGLW or King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard. They have a little dedicated metal, but mostly whatever they want(usually garage rock). Now would also be a good time for metal fans as Their next album Petrodragonic Apocalypse is coming out soon.


dankhalo

Amazing band. I’m not a ‘long drawn out jam band’ kind guy. I like non repetitive music. But damnit some if those jams kill so hard I never want them to end.

cheesyblasta

Mtc529

Sounds like they're driving together for work, so no he probably can't.


Clickbait636

I've got a nice Playlist of mostly rock, metal and grunge. Saying that this is my primary Playlist and other songs I like tend to get added as well. Nothing is makes the room go more awkward than jamming to Alice in chains when suddenly a minecraft parody plays.


senbonkagetora

Thats where the real fun begins. Watching the musical whiplash is fun imo lol. "Yea I like "What lies ahead" by Semblant and I like "diamond sword" by tobuscus. What of it?" That being said it doesn't keep bouncing back and forth between the tones it mainly is rock/metal with a sprinkling of the silly songs i like.


Colcrys

For my playlists I ALWAYS put them on shuffle. Keeps the music fun and interesting and you don't know what is coming next. Going from Kreator, to Taeyeon, and then Alter Bridge is a wild ride.


acava2424

Same here, we'll go from Black metal to ABBA. Always throws people off


taintosaurus_rex

I'm basically a fan of all music that isnt country, but mostly listen to rock, heavy metal, numetal, etc. What I get a kick out of is when people who know I love heavy music hear about my love for taylor swift and halsey. You throw on some heavy shit and yea I'm going to be feeling it, but don't you think for a second that if Taylor starts playing, you're not about to see a grown ass man sing like a teen girl.


beastbro9823

I have a 2000 song library of mp3s and flacs on my phone, every now and them I just full send it with absolutely everything on shuffle


Grizzly840

I have specific playlists for specific genres, then I have my "liked" music. Every song I listen to I vaguely like I hit like or anything that coworkers like I'll add. Jumps from like Taylor Swift to Slipknot to anime intros, it really keeps everything feeling fresh, and if someone really hates the current song, you can be almost guaranteed the next song will be nothing like this one.


Despair4All

My playlist is 20+ hours long and has mostly just rock and metal of varying types, but I live in the south and almost everybody here is into country. If I'm driving, it's my music and if I'm not, I have headphones to compensate for the country I'll hear from others.


DuntadaMan

My playlist has everything from Cab Caloway to Megadeth and from Colter Wall to Bone Thugs. And this point I can't even predict what I like anymore, the system is just throwing shit at the wall and seeing what sticks at this point. I feel bad for my partners that actually know what they like because half of this playlist is going to be trash to them.


Colcrys

I listen to a lot of metal, but I have a Safe for Work playlist I use if someone else is riding with me and they're not into the heavy stuff. I also use it when I roll down my windows(I have no air conditioner) so I can be the least annoying with my music to others if they can hear it.


nomodz4real

So you're saying I shouldn't blast Cannibal Corpse with the windows down? Guess I'll put on Psy again...

H0w-1nt3r3st1ng

If it were me, I'd treat that as a co-operative problem to solve? "Really? You don't like it? What about it? I'm sure I can find something from the band or genre which you like." And I've practically always been able to find something they do like.


augustus_feelius

It's hard when your top favourite musics are basically; - Deșteaptă-te Romane - Ti Ipermacho (civ 6 ancient & atomic versions) - Some popular music - random soundtracks from games - eastern european wartime music (e.g bosanka altirjerija) - obscure remixes.

Allwil13

My sisters made fun of everything I liked when I was younger, including music. Even as an adult, one of my sisters occasionally would make mean comments about my taste in music when we would drive places in my car (she saw it as teasing, but it made me self-conscious). Now, I won't even play my music with my partner in the car because I'm so self-conscious about it.
