lol society

That's why you lie bro. When I'm listening to my favourite IOSYS album and people ask me what I'm listening to, I just say the radio.

>greentexts with double quotes

FFFUUUUU

You don't really listen to nothing but Touhou music, do you OP? If that is the case, you should really look into non-Japanese music.

>/v/-style greentext thread
Reported.

You could at least put some good VN soundtracks on there.

omgzorz wut should i do? someone's speaking with me while i'm in school! O_O;;;;;

I find it hard that everyone on this board is this socially inept. Sure, I'm not the smoothest guy ever, but at least I know how to get in/out of social situations. I would also figure you people would stop caring about the 3D world around you.

>Implying greentext threads is /v/-exclusive

>greentext

You could just say its some game music and if he asks what game, give an obscure name like Touhou.

>>4628969
It's just OP.
Most of us aren't that bad and actually know how to get out of these or similar situations.
Our only "problem" is that we hate everything and everyone.

Dragonforce, man.

Always. Say. Dragonforce.

No matter who's asking, what you are listening to is. Always. Dragonforce.

1 ) Pick a genre that sounds out-of-character.
2 ) Google
3 ) Pirate some music
4 ) ???
5 ) Profit!

So I needed to take a piss the other day, but I have trouble peeing in public. Some sort of social anxiety thing, I reckon.
So I took out a book. Joseph Conrad's Heart of Darkness. I flipped to a random page and read it in front of the urinal. I stood in front of the urinal for half an hour, reading, while people drifted in and out of the bathroom. But my piss simply refused to leave my bladder.
At this point, I was panicking. I had class in ten minutes, but my bladder felt like it would pop from the pressure.

Hope to God that it's a jazz arrangement or something, explain that your just listening to a little classy music and offer to let them listen.

Alternatively, shy away like a faggot, run off home and lock yourself in your room.

Find a toilet stall.

That's not how you quote.

>>4628989
Hardest metal known to man.

>>4629005
I have a hard time peeing at urinals as well, so I usually use a stall.

>>4629018
hard means gay now?
also
>>4629005
try using the sink. if anyone says anything or looks at you just act like its normal.

Ask them if they are trying to talk to you because they would like to have sex.

I find this usually scares most people away pretty fast.

If not, hey, at least you get some sex.

What if a black guy asks him?

>>4629074
Sex is sex.

I listen to nothing but random Touhou vocals when I drive.

Don't feel bad.

>>4629005
>I have trouble peeing in public
find a bathroom!

I've had it with research.
Why in hell won't nobody publish a goddamn study for student debt by major ?
And why in hell do I need a goddamn license to access some government statistics ?
This is all fucking stupid.

>>4628897
Say the genre. You do know the genre of what you're listening, right? If it happens to be jpop, just quickly switch to something else in case fag wants to listen.

So, I go to college. I start playing some Touhou because I was stuck in a level. Somebody noticed, asked me which one it was, and started playing as well on his own laptop.

Suddenly, circlejerks about Touhou surround me. What in the hell is with the weeaboos in my college...

>>4629162
>thinks a survey counts as research

>>4629280
>i'm a weeaboo
>the fuck is with all these weeaboos

So I was in the lounge for our section at my college, and I hear someone playing Touhou.

"Is that the Prismriver Sisters stage?" I ask.

"Yes", he responded.

Then we played Mahjong.

'twas a friend of mine, though. We were two of the founders of östIT (Roughly "Far east on IT"), we do selective promotions of far eastern culture.

>>4629326
TOO BAD YOU COULD HAVE MET SOMEONE NEW

>>4628897
Touhou is mostly awesome piano. Who hates piano?

>>4629310
Statistics are the only kinds of data you can accumulate on social matters.
Therefore, accumulating statistics and drawing conclusions from them counts as research, although only in the context of a social science.

>>4629379
;_;

I listen to either IDM, j-related music or classical.

No matter what what I say, I get weird looks ;_;

MAMA ALWAYS SAID FAGGITS IS AS FAGGITS DOES

OP this is why you listen on shuffle, and when they ask click next next next until you get to something decent that they can listen to. Or make shit up, I don't know.

>Have Touhou music on iPod
>Always keep Radiohead or something equally normalfag on hand for such situations.
>feelsgoodman.jpg

"None of your business"

There, solved this entire thread.

>>4629846
THIS.

Also if you're desperate, just turn it off and say the battery ran out and you forgot to take your earphones off.

I've had people at work walk in on me playing cute japanese music while drawing pics of mai waifu, I don't care.

I have enough non-vocal Touhou music that I doubt this will be a problem. If I ever went outside.

EXEC_EP=NOVA?

>>4629949
It is unknown at this time.

I've actually got a good friend who I will let listen to some video game music on my iPod. Because most of the music I listen to is from games he likes.

Sucks for you, bro.

Just tell them the genre.

>>4629943
Ausfag most likely.
Universities here have their people on the first year of their degree start about now.

>>4629949
No, but somewhere along those lines.

This is how I would've handled it.
"What are you listening to?"
"It's some Japanese shit. Techno."
>Person probably loses all interest
"Oh, cool."
>If I care I go ahead and use the break to lead the conversation somewhere else
>If I don't care I just sit down
No worries. Why feel bad?

You really should feel bad for having only touhou music on your mp3, for god's sake.

>>4629850
>Radiohead
>normalfag

God, I envy kids those days. You have it easy.

Ahhh, I remember the time I became friends with that weird guy in my class.
>Hey, what are you playing?
>Oh, it's a Japanese game. Wanna try?
>Whoa, this is too hard. And what's with all those little girls... hey, thank you, but I think this is not for me.

That was six months ago. and I'm on fucking /jp/ right now.

ON
FUCKING
/JP/

This happened to me before. I don't only have Touhou music on my MP3, but there's no English songs on asked it at all. When she asked what I was listening to, I just gave her one of the ear buds. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SkXNa7tPWEc <- that was playing. She nodded her head and said something along the lines of "this song makes me a little hungry, reminds me of a restaurant."

Then she walked off.

One time I was outside during lunch in high school and I was listening to the latest WWF music album and some girl asked me what I was listening to. That was awkward.

>>4630033
He's clearly wrong, it doesn't make you a normalfag, it makes you a moron.

OP you must learn to suppress your power level. The mainstream does not appreciate it. They are literally and figuratively lost in modern warfare.

>>4630080
Whoa, haters. Really didn't realize how big they must be now.

>>4630232
