Just realized I've been pretending to love Kurt Cobain for 15 years lol

I was at a party last weekend in Portland and someone put on Nevermind. I sat there nodding along like I was deep into it but honestly I was just bored. The guy next to me said 'this album changed my life' and I realized I've never actually felt that way about any Nirvana song. I always just said I liked them because everyone else did. Has anyone else faked loving a dead celeb just to fit in at a party?

Stopped pretending and started saying "eh, not really my thing" instead.

Right there with you, and @the_eric has the right idea honestly.

Noticed something though, even saying "not my thing" can make people defensive if they really love it. Better to just shrug and say "cool, glad you're into it" and move on. Takes the pressure off everyone.
