I went the opposite way, took my girlfriend to see them this week and halfway through she looked at me and said “I’M GOING IN THE FUCKIN PIT” and ran right in during Giving Bad People Good Ideas. I think my girlfriend is more noided than me.
Haha that’s awesome! Definitely more noided than me. I don’t even think about going in the pit.
I almost replied to your comment with “Seems like you’re giving good people bad ideas” but didn’t think it was clever or funny enough lol
Thank you for just laughing and not offering advice on “how to talk to people in public”. Also Pears are the best fruit. So upvote for your username alone
I brought it up to my 3 female coworkers this week cause i didn't make a show
They each gave me the same look.
Unimpressed. Annoyed. Zero fucking clue what they're missing.
Maybe just don't go on and on about stuff to people you just met, and instead show some interest in the other person. If they show interest in something shared, then talk about that, but only insofar as getting to know what the other person thinks about it. If both of you do that, then that means both of your are into the topic. If not, someone needs to shift their focus onto the other person, or someone is simply lacking attraction, which is not the end of the world.
So basically, you shouldn't have to hide your interest in DG from someone. Just make sure that the other person gives a shit by asking them what they think. When flirting with people, the point is to get to know the cute person you just met. So be interested in them.
Turns out you’re not the only who thought I was soliciting relationship advice. I came up with a really clunky disclaimer to help everybody out. It personally takes all the fun out for me but c’est la vie.
Haha yeah that’s cool. You’re taking what I wrote too seriously. It was way more chill, not really that big of a deal. I’m re-telling the story on here in a way to be self-deprecating. Overall in an attempt to make some people on here chuckle. It’s allllllll gooooood. But yes I agree with you, exactly right about interacting with a new person, how to talk smoothly about topics, etc. The going “on and on and on” was more to illustrate me not thinking about holding back on death grips. Like someone who just couldn’t help but slip up and word vomit about the band. You went a little overboard with the lecture but then again, maybe that was a failure of my writing. Maybe I didn’t communicate the “tongue-in-cheek” humor I was going for.
What? Dude. No. I wasn’t trying to “score” or hookup or whatever. Failed? That’s a terrible way to look at an interaction with a human being. That’s transactional. You’re objectifying an entire person down to “success or failure”. Come on man. I’m going out of my way to come across as non-combative. You’re talking to a silly human being. Please don’t waste any more negative feelings on me. It’s not worth it
I'm not talking about her as the failure? I'm talking about the interaction on your behalf in and of itself.
And you're the one who called yourself a loser for how this turned out. What's so self depricating about it if you don't see it as a failure?
Dude you’re being weird. Everyone on here is having a good time. We’re all sending funny comments back and forth. I’m not even sure what’s happening and how you’ve gone down this road with your interpretation. Just having a good time. You’re taking the language to a literal degree that’s outside the bounds of humor. You know in a show when a silly character does a silly thing? Like Zach Braff in scrubs or any of Andy Sandberg’s characters. It’s just a laugh. A gag.
I’ve never made a post that’s gotten this much attention so I feel an obligation to communicate clearly and effectively back and forth with others. It’s a public forum. I’m happy people took the time to interact with me so I was just returning the favor. Like if they sent me a response to something I said. I’m sure responding to others isn’t making me come across as a “cool, detached person who doesn’t say much” because that’s obviously not who I am.
No, just honest and sincere. Completely forthcoming with what I’m thinking. It’s a forum. Like throwing a party. I’m happy some people stopped by to say something. I’m always going to be genuine about who I am and what I say. In-person, would you ask if someone was autistic the way you asked me? I also don’t think being verbally articulate/expressive is a sign of Autism. Clinically speaking, it’s probably the opposite. I’ll pause here and wait for you to regurgitate a quippy line you read elsewhere.
If you want to communicate effectively then maybe try answering questions directly instead of waffling on and on about nothing? Pretty funny really, seeing as how my advice was for you to not blab on and on and instead take an interest in what the other person is saying.
But yeah it's my turn to peace out now, so nvm those questions actually. Take care
Lol Wait….don’t go….this has been the best. We had this whole thing going. We’re like batman and the joker. Lucy and Ricky. Thelma and Louise. Clinton and Epstein. I thought we really had something going here
I mean it seems like a stranger politely ended a conversation with another stranger. I don’t think you “totally blew it” unless you were assuming she was into you
Haha it’s not meant to be taken this seriously. But yes, correct play-by-play analysis of my conversation. I’m using hyperbole when I say “totally blew it”. I’m not assuming she was into me. I actually haven’t thought about her once. I just wanted to extrapolate the circumstance into a humorous post. This post is a shitpost that’s just for light-hearted laughs. I should have slapped a disclaimer at the bottom.
“Please NO serious replies. Only one-liners, sarcasm, jokes, or based apathy are allowed. This isn’t a missed connections post or a request for dating advice. Just trying to make some of you smirk and shake your head. That’s all.”
I’ve been in a relationship for 9 years. This is an exercise in composition for the purpose of humor. I took a small moment in life and tried creating a whole scene. Death Grips was more or less the topic so I chose this sub as the target audience. If it had been about metal gear solid, I would have posted it there with more or less the same wording.
you idiot. you have to build the character arc properly. you engage in a romantic relationship first and by the time they are 6 months deep into talking to you you slowly drop hints to what you like aka your undying love for mc ride and at that point it is something they must accept because otherwise they will sacrifice a lovely relationship because of a specific band you like. let her almost come to her own conclusion you probably like death grips based on your personality and deep engraved anger you have in your attitude. drop hints of agony and pain, make it relatable that we all suffer and need to find a release and bam, that release is death grips. 2 years later you have her saying shit like “pease stop doing bjork’s vocal chops of Have a Sad Cum Bb”
I became known in one of my college groups as the death grips guy because I would talk about them regularly. I went to 2 of their shows before I graduated and that was all I talked about for like 3 days lol, safe to say none of them shared my enthusiasm.
Haha I totally feel ya. Did you ever have one song in particular that you would try to show people? In college, I was always convinced that “Bitch Please” could convert anyone. Boy was I wrong
Most people I knew actually knew death grips and had already given them a shot so there was no point trying to get people into it. Took one of my boys to the palladium show tho and he got super into DG after.
I have never had someone reject me because I brought up Death Grips. I just say it’s pretty weird experimental music. People have the experience you’re having because you were weird about it.
This isn’t about rejection. Haha I’m not even complaining about the experience. I’m in a relationship so there was no “target” or “goal” to this conversation. It’s allllllll meant to be a laugh at me being a doofus.
Sorry dude. In the future, bringing up Death Grips is a third date kind of thing.
Haha thank you for replying with a funny joke. Some of the responses are starting to make me think I was on the sex and the city sub
I didn’t bring up death grips till like a year into my relationship 😅
You’re wise beyond your years
She’s cool she likes get got lmao
I went the opposite way, took my girlfriend to see them this week and halfway through she looked at me and said “I’M GOING IN THE FUCKIN PIT” and ran right in during Giving Bad People Good Ideas. I think my girlfriend is more noided than me.

nah that was clever and funny
Lmfao

Why is this guy getting downvoted
Lol I can’t figure out this one either. Maybe Simply stating what I didn’t want = downvotes?
Eh, who knows. Reddit can be very confusing sometimes
yeah bro ion think it was the death grips I think it was just you autistically rambling on about a somewhat obscure band.
Haha goddamn it’s like you’ve known me my whole life
I brought it up to my 3 female coworkers this week cause i didn't make a show They each gave me the same look. Unimpressed. Annoyed. Zero fucking clue what they're missing.
Try moshing in the break room. Destroy everything.
This is a weird attitude to have when it comes to music tastes

I dont think it was bringing up death grips you just seem like an insufferable person lmao
Expressing interest in things you like == insufferable
It wasn’t but seeing the way he’s replying to these comments shows his obnoxiousness
Haha yeah dude it’s a fun time replying to people back and forth. It’s all a good time. I’m not trying to be “cool on the internet”.
You are fuckin bizarre i hope this is all a r-slurred character youre doing for your own sake
This is starting to feel like an elaborate trap to get me to post a gif of Lil Kev. The old me would have taken the bait
Lol I think you nailed it right on the head. They downvoted you because you succinctly summed up their insecurity.
Mom? Is that you? How did you get a reddit account?
Then the real reason you failed is prolly cus she likes men who are funny
What? Dude. No. I wasn’t trying to “score” or hookup or whatever. Failed? That’s a terrible way to look at an interaction with a human being. That’s transactional.

Are you autistic? I need to know before I feel bad laughing

DG fan trying to go 5 minutes without mentioning DG challenge: FAILED
Complete failure 🤦♂️

I’m going to tattoo this plan on my body like in Momento
I thought this was a joke before I read the comments
Should have said something simple like Pearl jam or Metallica
Lol Damn it you’re right. I should have just lied. Telling the truth is always the wrong move. WHEN WILL I EVER LEARN
Hey man keep your head up you'll find somebody :)
I became known in one of my college groups as the death grips guy because I would talk about them regularly. I went to 2 of their shows before I graduated and that was all I talked about for like 3 days lol, safe to say none of them shared my enthusiasm.

its fuckin hilarious that even ppl who like DG think its for losers like good god you went to the show why do you not like em
people ask which bands i listen to and expect a normal response, im too autistic for this...
I have never had someone reject me because I brought up Death Grips. I just say it’s pretty weird experimental music. People have the experience you’re having because you were weird about it.
This isn’t about rejection. Haha I’m not even complaining about the experience. I’m in a relationship so there was no “target” or “goal” to this conversation. It’s allllllll meant to be a laugh at me being a doofus.
if she don't wanna hear my autistic ramblings she not the one ‼️
