Cleaning lady: *wants some tunes during work*
Me: "Sure, I wanted to listen to some music as well.. not sure if our genres match though 🤔"
Cleaning lady (CL): "So what kind of music do you listen to?"
Me: "Synthwave"
CL: "So um.. synthesizers?"
Me: "Well yes, but it kind of ties in with the dark side of technology.. the whole 1984 dystopian future etc. Privacy, lack of user freedom, etc."
CL: "So essentially cult music?"

TIL that the tech community is a cult for listening to synthwave. I bet she believes that tech peeps are lizards too.
*mentally slaps cleaning lady* - User!!

    @irene True... I don't discriminate though, I'm strict and violent towards everyone including myself. I guess it ties in with the whole "cut through the bullshit" mentality. I don't care about giving someone a warm fuzzy feeling nearly as much as I care about getting the job done in a sustainable way ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    You share too many details.
    Awkwardness usually ensues.

    Synthwave is cool, but Future Funk is where it's at 😎

    @irene Ok, yeah. But I'd gladly pay ~7€ per h every 2 weeks though. I'm guessing it's something with those service cheques. Weirdest country ever.

    You sure she didn't mean "a genre with cult following"? Or is that something a reptilian would say?

    So there are others like me who listen to synthwave when coding. Awesome! 😲

    @rutee07 Nah, she's flat both back and front, and a bit too old for me.. and she's not quite the brightest bulb among the bunch either ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    @Condor what artists do you listen to? I had no idea you were into synthwave. I fucking love it, can't really figure out who my favourite artist is, so many good ones out there.

    @0x000000 most of them are pretty good I think, but I'm not really into any specific artists (I mostly listen to it unattended, i.e. mixes). @irene might know though
