I unironically played this at a college party, got a few weird looks...

ok. well treat this as a learning experience. an album like v:d:c is foreground music. listening to the music *is* the activity. at a party, the music is the background to the conversation, the banter, the flirting, the drinking etc.

I don't much like lil yachty or xxxtentacion or whoever is popular right now either, but at a party it doesn't matter, the music's function is as social lubricant. playing patrician music at a party is like exclusively drinking 17% ABV trappist beer at parties.

if you don't know any trap songs that are current and popular, and I don't blame you, just swallow your pride and put on A-Punk. yes, it's super normie, but people will know it and like it and you'll still be seen as indie (but within the popular overton window for music taste)

hope your next party is more fun bro. this shit takes practice. dont sweat it.

WHAT THE FUCKS WRONG WITH YOU

FUCK OFF WITH THIS SHIT B8 YOU STUPID NIGGER

Your last paragraph is why you’ll never have fun at parties or get laid. You’re not superior because u listen to more obscure music. “I’m gonna play this japanese death metal artist at a college party just so I can look down on all the peasants here giving me weird looks because they can’t understand it.” It’s a fucking party. The whole point is easily danceable and singable music that everyone knows. Get some drinks in u next time before u go and loosen up. Talk to people and try to get in on drinking games

thanks for the advice. Will consider it, fellow user

Well, I will keep that in mind, but I dont get out much to begin with as Im an introvert but at least college has been going chillfully thus far. I might end up in a play soon, so time will tell but indeed, maybe one day I will find a girl, I just haven't met many who are single or compatible with me yet.

imagine being such a fucking virgin

I’m about to finish college and I regret not putting myself out there more from the start. Trust me as a fellow introvert and someone who hates feeling like they’re bothering other people by socializing u need to become comfortable with being in uncomfortable situations. Talk to people as much as possible and when you’re at parties don’t just sit in the background

I get this, to be fair I have been trying to get out more and talk to people sometimes (once I drink a good amount) and I have met a few people, hard part is meeting a woman I get you though

>it can be a little much for normies who don't understand true artistic talent

Shiggy diggy user. Never wave use your music taste around like it's some advertisement for you as a person.

Entirely your own fault, don't play music at a college party that requires active listening to enjoy.

Lol you’re the same faggot from that other Velocity thread

Or just find friends who want to listen to v:d:c with you

Literally never met someone who's a fan, or a fan of most Yea Forumscore tbqh

Look for clubs and programs through your school, at my university they have an audio engineering society with monthly listening sessions. People bring all different types of music, its quite a lot of fun.

clubs are scawy tho :c

Thats what I thought too but I quickly learned that a semester of sitting in my dorm room listening to Midwest Emo and Shoegaze is even worse. Getting over that nervousness is what college is all about, but you can always email club presidents with questions if you really are that worried.

unironically play I've Seen Footage, it's obscure but dancible.

jesus christ this thread. why do we always attract autists lads

cause 89% of people who use Yea Forums and reddit are autistic

lol at this thread
if you get the aux, play music people like or just pass it off
I have a playlist of rap music i find enjoyable for any split second even though i dont like rap. It's very useful

yeah i just load up the hip hop playlist on spotify and it seems to do the trick

Shit college.
A good college would have had a gay guy sucking you off.

International makes me cry.

You had to play dsco

fucking kek

I've been super into Animal Collective since I had the Great Branching Out in 2009. Everyone I'm friends with now is very aware of this, and they tease me about it, whatever. Most of us like similar music outside of this, so it's not really a big deal. But I have to always listen to my anco privately. But I like to share with people, I like forming a community of bonds, whatever, you know?

So here I think, ok, I love this music, and a lot of other people do too, right? So clearly there's something there. And I know my friends love dancing. I have seen them. And I don't usually get to dance to my Animal Collective, even though it is awesome whenever I do. And my birthday is coming up, so I'm like-- I am never allowed to do stuff like this, but if it's my birthday, I can throw whatever party I want! And people will want to celebrate with me, so they'll come, and then I will show them how fun it is to dance to Animal Collective and we can have a cool moment of togetherness.

So my roommates agree, whatever, I invite people, I borrow some good speakers, I make a bumpin playlist of anco's best dance songs. I am filled with joy as I'm making it because of how much shit is packed into this music and how I can't wait to give people the opportunity to feel the way I feel, or at least give it a shot and like have a fun little dance party where all you gotta do is move your body how you want.

The friends arrive, we Inebriate, whatever-- there's some chill music playing, I have a short little Event, and when the Event is done, I turn off some of the lights and turn on the anco dance playlist and I start dancing.

No one else does.

So I'm all, whatever, I'll roll with the punches, I thought I started off using a good, more recognizable song with "Summertime Clothes," but maybe they just need to take awhile to get used to it sonically, they'll join in.

They don't.

A few songs go by before I vacate the dance floor myself, to try to do the Dance-Drag Some People Over There. Everyone flat-out refuses, standing and talking instead. I had two allies, two dudes who helped bring over the speakers beforehand. They'd go around and convince people to dance too, both real likeable dudes, and nothing. People refused. People I've been friends with for years. I was getting frustrated, cuz you know, I want people to be having fun but the Literal Name that this party was marketed as was "Animal Collective Dance Party" or "anco dance party." They knew what this was going to be.

My next move was to try to announce to the group that we should all dance, because dancing really just needs some momentum. Once everyone is dancing your own moves don't mean anything and you're less self conscious. So I flip on the lights and remind people it is, in fact, an Animal Collective dance party, so dance, or please leave. Lights back off, and then me and those two dudes and one of the dude's little sister and I start dancing and everyone else goes back to talking. And mind me, I put on a real banger at this point: Bluish. That song is so likeable, it's fucked up.

While I'm dancing, this other dude walks up to me and decides to hit me with the "You just can't dance to this is the thing. There's no beat." And I'm super like dude what, because the only rule that I made for this party with regards to the dance was "no bitching about the music." Those were my words. And here is this dude, BITCHING ABOUT THE MUSIC. So I tell him to leave, and he reassures me, "I was already on my way out."

sweet trip is not experimental. its normie friendly pop rock.

sweet trip is very good music to show normies. playing music at someone elses party is just annoying though unles you are explicitely asked to by the hosts

This is depressing to read.

So after that dude and his bad mood were gone, I was hopeful. Maybe he was like pulling down the General Comfort Level with the music. But nope. After dancing by myself for few more songs I'm ready to bail, so I shut off the music. People continue talking, but the smoke alarm starts going off and so that makes everyone leave except the two speaker dudes, and we chill for a bit, whatever.

And you know, it's really bothering me. I don't know what the reason nobody danced was. I don't know whether I was just being too weird about everything so anyone would have felt uncomfortable, or if this was just a shitty group of friends who would rather drink free booze than put a bit of effort into participating in something I was excited about. Since, I've been feeling weird when I listen to any anco.

My Advice for others on this undertaking: maybe don't. Just hope you can see them live next time they tour.

Sweet Trip is cringe.

People only dance to gucci money pussy spank ghetto blasta jams now, dig?

You unironically deserved it

unironic fpbp

>If u wanna impress people there just put on some top 40 hit from 2008-2012 that hasn’t gotten play in a while

this, literally the best move

You should've played YWNKW if you wanted Sweet Trip so bad you idiot
Who the fuck would correctly enjoy V:D:C at a party ? The album doesn't deserve to be listened that way and especially not by normies

I played Pro:Lov:Ad and Chocolate Matter and it went down well. Tekka, Fruitcake, and Design 2 : 3 probably wouldn't though.

One time I put Iron Maiden’s Piece of Mind album on at a girl’s birthday party in high school and I could tell it really killed the mood in the room.

That album is full of love songs for depressed people, V:D:C is a better choice.

When I was a stupid pseud teen I put on Thru The Walls and I Want It I Need It at the house party and it actually went over pretty well. This was just a little bit after Exmilitary dropped and made a huge splash so they were still relatively unknown to most people.

she is cheating on you with a nigger

Lame one time I was trashed at a party and I played Guillotine on the speakers listened to the whole thing

>banging a girl from tinder who listens to sweet trip
feels based

everyone I have ever played Tekka to makes the same dumb 'hurr durr your computer is broken joke'

>cumming directly inside a woman’s pussy
Holy based

such a lack of social awareness

people only dance in large house parties with trap or Smash Mouth going on. A small gathering of 10 people is not for dancing

> A small gathering of 10 people is not for dancing
with enough alcohol it definitely is lmao

my boy, I don't wanna come down hard on you here because the other guy pretty much nailed it. I'll give you some advice from someone who used to be a total introvert: Nobody really gives a shit, it's all in your head, and if you don't stop thinking you're superior you won't ever get anywhere in life. Act out of goodness and the rest will follow, but it takes effort.

>doesn't purposely play the most obnoxious music they can
>cares this much about impressing normies
You guys are so insecure

this begs the question, knowing that you're this autistic (because i refuse to believe anyone is completely devoid of self awareness) wtf were you doing at a party in the first place?

I'm guessing they left the kids table and started annoying at the big kids

do you go to college in the south? also wtf are you doing? trying to clear everyone out? i love this album but id never play it at a party

go to different parties my dude.

lol nice one. maybe people will like anco if you force them to dance to it.

I just grab house music for a party
Bicep is good for that

“This is patrician music”

I know this is bait, but the majority of people love to listen to and consume the same stuff they know others like too and will accept. Just throwing out something obscure at them will instantly get you branded as a weirdo because you're actively going against the status quo, which to the majority already in it is detrimental since to them you're threatening their social stability.

>playing The Residents at a college party

can't make this shit up f.am

shame is for faggots, who cares

play whatever ur autistic heart desires and slap faggots who call you gay. simple

Well maybe next time you should try playing it ironically.

>Normie calls you gay
>On a college campus
It wasn't an insult, but a come on.
