Aside from '...Is that because it's cold out?', I would have to say that "What kind of music do you like/listen to?" is my least favorite question. Clearly I have preferences that I'd like to respond with, but in doing so, I either start dropping band names like a desperate hipster, tack on 6-7 adjectives before a genre (e.g., "industrial lo-fi indie/electronicia fusion, with subtle, expressive vanilla high notes") or try to describe my nebulous sonic-preferences using 10-cent words and a know-it-all attitude.
In any case, I never succeed in conveying all that I want, so I've resigned to responding with "Alternative". That seems to shut people up. Except for the jack ass who thinks he's funny with 'Alternative to what? A-huy-uck!' Alternative to me stabbing you in the ear with a pencil. Your call chump.
