Do you talk to people about music IRL?

My tastes differ from others my age because I dislike mainstream pop, and K-pop, and rap, and metal, etc. The music I listen to is either from another era (Billy Joel, Beatles, Glenn Miller, Tchaikovsky, Bach, etc.) or obscure (Tame Impala, Animal Collective, etc.). The only people I know interested in the older stuff (with the exception of a couple of friends who know some Beatles' hits, primarily through me) are thirty years older than me, and I don't anybody who's even heard of Tame Impala. So when I talk music IRL, it's usually with someone thirty years my senior, or discussing our dislike of One Direction.

I mentioned one time SOAD is a decent band and they looked at me like they wanted to revoke my hipster card. >_>

I've encountered a lot of persons who are interested in knowing about my musical interests. I love curiousity. I am proud of my taste, so I am NOT afraid to exclaim it aloud in public in front of a person or group.

I'm fortunate enough to have a significant other who loves music too, so yes all the time.
