I totally relate man. It's a little bit different for me though. I find when talking to my peers about music, the music they listen to is the music I was into when I was 16. So I often can't help but tell them "oh, yeah I used to listen to them as a teenager" or "yeah, I liked them when I was 16". They're immediately offended by this and see me as a pretentious douchebag. I'm sure you also feel alienated with your music taste 'growing up' faster than others your age.
I just wish it wasn't something that had to be seen as narcissistic. I usually just say "I used to like them" now, but it's quick for the other to realize that I don't like anything they listen to, and their entire iPod "I used to like".
Maybe try talking to them about something outside of music, movies, or video games that they can share. I know they're such good subjects to talk about, but test your limits with the others!
Theres subjects I know a lot about and reallllyyy want to have in-depth conversations about them to others. Like coding, web design, or online marketing...I could fucking talk for hours about that nerdy shit, but whenever there's someone I can talk to about those, anybody else with us is immediately alienated and gets bored to tears.
