Do you listen to music people kinda look at you funny for?

[Psivampyr]

There are so many musical artists out there, and everyone has their own flavor of music they listen to. Do you listen to some that people just look at you funny for liking or maybe you just don't look like that "type" to listen to that style? Thought it would be a good discussion for fun.
I actually like a huge mix of stuff
Cyndi Lauper- especially her Blues Cd
Ke$ha- I love alot of her dance club stuff
The Supremes or any other Motown stuff
The BioShock sound tracks are fantastic to listen to- I love the 1940s
Lady Gaga
Aeosmith, Ted Nugent, Offspring
Celtic music

Yes because I listen to TOO MUCH video game music

Primarily I like 80s and 90s music...some music on today.

Artist I Like:
Queen (My mom is a fan too)
Lady Gaga (I don't care what people say about her, she's awesome and she don't care what others think. That's how awesome she is!)
Train (Drive by and 50 ways to say goodbye <3333)
Pink
Michael Jackson(Man his music was awesome....B-b-billie jean's...~)

Oh right...video game music...ahem

Video Game Music I like:
Touhou(ZUUUN!)
Chrono Cross and Chrono Trigger
Final Fantasy 4-10 (Don't worry I played FF1-FF10. My most favorite is FF4 and FF6<3)
Kingdom Hearts Music (The Other Promise is the best of them all)
Breath of Fire 2 Music (I only played Breath of Fire 1 and 2...I got 3 but didn't even touch it)
Probably more but those are examples.

Tunng is my favourite band, and it's really special to me because it's also a favourite of my best friend and it reminds me of her. c: I'll share a few of my favourites.

I'm not that old, but I love listening to oldies... The kids at school think it is a bit weird, but they just love rap...

[Sora]

A lot of times... I mostly listen to JPop, JRock, videogame tracks, Rock n Roll and 50s/60s music in general. I especially love listening to 8-bit remixes of songs, so yeah, many times I get people wondering what on earth I'm listening to.

Kingdom Hearts Music (The Other Promise is the best of them all)

Agree with this SO MUCH.

Someone was once surprised that I love Kylie Minogue because he thought I 'had good taste in music'. I do. He's clearly just a snob

Most of my friends are just about as eclectic as I am when it comes to taste in music. Some are more open-minded than others. And I love when I surprise people by music I like (or when they surprise me).

[bagheera86]

Yes, my ipod is full of the horrible histories songs, disney songs, tim burtons version of sweeney todd and fad songs from the 80's xD

[Eviecorn]

The amount of ABBA and Ace of Base played in my car is shameful.

[mlp4me]

I was just thinking, 3 letters, bsb. Deny it all you want, but if many of you heard them on the radio you'd sing... Lol! I enjoy ace of base to evie...

[OLumeVaSti]

The amount of ABBA and Ace of Base played in my car is shameful.

I try to hide that side of me.

For some reason I really like Romanian pop music. People think I'm strange for that.

[BlackCurtains]

I mostly listen to death metal or thrash but I also have playlists dedicated to jazz and Baroque era classical.

[RAMChYLD]

Well, my MP3 collection consists of a large amount of childrens music and soundtrack from TV shows...

[DoctorMowinckel]

I listen to a lot of eastern European folk music and gypsy jazz. So, yeah, I get a lot of 'wut?' when I link people to what I listen to. I'm also into bluegrass, and a lot of people find banjos offensive. I listen to a bit of Americana, but I'm really particular about it.

Fishtank Ensemble, gypsy jazz leaning more toward gypsy music than jazz; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=20vrph2wd2g
Caravan of Thieves, gypsy jazz leaning more toward jazz than gypsy music; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7qTinxGGpA0
Luminescent Orchestrii, traditional Romanian folk based out of New York; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vo-_XM6Epj4
Csokolom, Hungarian folk; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rai8TvMag1I
Reverend Glasseye, macabre Americana; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=52EMfcZa5dYd
The Dirt Daubers, bluegrass, Americana, and a bit of early rock; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1GG7j9A2jA8
Le Chat Lunatique, they bill themselves as 'filthy mangy jazz'; http://youtu.be/KX5THfw6Eoo?t=59s
Los Colorados is a Ukrainian folk band who was all 'You know what we should do? Covers of American pop music!', here's their cover of Hot & Cold; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-oyfC8skSuE

I listen to rock, but not much. Mostly jazzy things and downtempo electronica, which is itself a derivative of jazz. Gypsy jazz was born from jazz, and gypsy jazz was influenced by eastern European folk music. Jazz is the root of what I listen to.

The amount of ABBA and Ace of Base played in my car is shameful.

I watched a doco on how ABBA's career was really boosted by Australian audiences and I'm not ashamed to say I cried a little because I love ABBA so much. And heck yes Ace of Base. I love playing The Sign & All That She Wants on my ukulele.

Oh and mlp4me I have plenty of BSB (& 5ive & New Kids on the Block etc) on my computer I'll sing along to it in shopping centres never mind the radio haha

I get some funny looks when I tell people I'm in to metal (doom metal and death metal mostly, but some other sub genres). I don't look like a "metal head" at all, as I am a very small girl who usually wears pink
Other than metal I usually listen to indie, pop, or psychedelic music. Right now it's the Shins and Seabear that I listen to a lot. I also really really really really love Danzig. I don't know what to classify them as though. Some people say they're metal, some say blues rock, so I don't know, but I adore their early albums.
