Recently I've reacquainted myself with going to concerts, something that I hadn't done since the early 2k's or previously.  Memory escapes me on the actual timeline, but let's just say that it's been a hella long time.

Went to go see some bands most recently, it was a seriously great time I have to admit.  One of the things that made me chuckle though, was the reaction of the parking attendant in downtown Salt Lake City.

As I was processing for a parking permit, the attendant apparently wasn't aware what was happening that night, and asked me about it.  I looked at her and said it was a music concert located about two blocks South of where they were.

Her: "Oh, what kind of music?"
Me: "metal"
Her: "I'm sorry...what?"

I repeat my answer and give her a slight grin

Her: "To each their own, I guess"

Why was it surprising to her that a "seasoned human being" likes metal music? Sorry but Lawrence Welk died a while ago, and I personally ban Hee Haw too.

As I was leaving I swear I heard banjo's.
