Great answers so far. Funny how some seem to have really knowlegeable friends, and others are the "music guys" of their group. As for me :
- electronic music, with some hip hop, Pink Floyd, Doors and Supertramp thrown in. Apart from those, he doesn't listen to much music before the '90s. He does know a lot about the area he's restrained himself to, though.
- dadrocky, on the open-minded side : the classic folk-rock cannon (with a shared passion for Young and Dylan), with jazz, funk, soul, and brazilian music.
- very varied, lying on the dadrock side, but with interest ranging from hip hop to jazz to grunge to punk to world (don't like that label, but you get it). The best one to take recs from.
- assumed Pitchfork fan, listening to West, Blake, Lamar, Vampire Weekend, etc. Unexpected love for Warren Zevon, Sonic Youth, Gil Scott-Heron, too. I don't know that many things about him, but I hope I will discover more, because he seems very interesting.
- kinda metalhead, although he's been listening to other things lately. His tastes are pretty varied, but I'm not really a fan to be honest (not always, at least) : Fleet Foxes, cheesy soul, jazz-fusion, trap. Not sure at all about what he likes in general, actually. I've forced him to create an account and a chart here, though; his name is Lostros.
My other friends listen to music too obviously, but less "seriously" (if that means anything), or we don't talk about it much.

Haha, I can relate to this. The first one of this list and I compete for the title of the guy with the more and the most obscure Facebook band likes. I win obviously 😎
Generally, I don't talk about music that much with people in real life. That said, there was a time when I was dead drunk (one of the drunkiest times in mylife ever), and I talked very loudly and obnoxiously about how music was important to me (among other sentimental things) for hours. I don't remember much of it, but that's what people told me. Apparently, I even explained to a guy what punk was, by explaining him how it was supposed to oppose wanky prog, lol.

Some of my friends listen to standard radio pop, with maybe the easiest to get into indie or hip hop also, which is ok I guess but can get boring when you're pretty much listening to kiss fm playlist always.
Always had friends who are mad into hip hop, some of them way more than me even, which is cool for recs and I don't mind them djing at all when we're together.
Got just a couple close friends who are into the sort of stuff most my other friends would think is weird, they won't mind listening to Television or Modern Lovers or Joy Division or whatever, would probably still find Cocteau Twins or MBV or Jesus and Mary Chain too weird though, apart from one kid, maybe.
Friends do tend to think I know about music, nobody ever complains when I play music like I have some sort of authority on it or something, which is funny since I'm a relative music noob here, but then everyone here is music nerds which my friends mostly aren't, so. _________________ Shut up mate you're boring!
I don't have friends aside from my girlfriend. She loves Eisley, First Aid Kit, others I have forgotten...she likes most of the music I like except she hates upbeat music most of the time. She can only tolerate one Grimes song! XD
My mom likes all the upbeat music I've shown her...Grimes and Charli XCX and such. 😁
