Either that or I say something like "I'm not sure if you'll have heard of them" or "I'm not sure if you'll like them" because you know, i'm talking to a Pantera fan about Melt Banana or something but it doesn't always come across the way I intend it to.

Doesn't everyone who has a strong interest or a strong love for music do that? I know I do.
"Yeah, you won't know them."
Try me
"*Insert quite popular band, but because they're a musical flid they won't know of them."
And then they usually resign to the fact I was right, or try and save face. "Yeah, I know them."
My reply - "Oh, do you? What's your favourite record?" as well as other questions about the band.
Then they're like "...Er, well I've heard of them."
I fuc
king hate these people who claim to like music but probably don't even have 200 albums in their collection. I really don't feel arrogance when I talk down to these people.
