I'm guilty of not being able to answer what I'm into in a broad sense, and I try not to come off as pretentious when music comes up in conversation either. I try stating what I'm into at the moment and that it's a current phase, but I listen to so much more than that. I do have preferences, but they change all the time.

I talk about music a lot, different genres, sounds, but the moment I'm given a broad answer or question about it I get confused or scared. GIVE ME SOMETHING TO WORK WITH GOD DAMNIT!
