Yeah, I hate that question. Especially when you're speaking to someone who's not very knowledgable about music. One of my teachers asked me what type of music I listen to and I just said, "oh you know, mainly indie and alternative bands" and she said, "oh you mean stuff like Snow Patrol?"
...
also worse is when you say you like emo music (as in Orchid, Jeromes Dream, Sunny Day Real Estate even) and they think you listen to teenaged goth shit. I try and avoid that question as much as possible.
