They don't make fun of my taste, but they barely acknowledge it either. They don't really know what to say or how to react to the type of music when they actually pry it out of me (A bit shy to talk about the music I like, and hate explaining stuff), they never know what any of the 'genres' I like actually are. I have fairly obscure taste, so it's not the usual or more known/recognized genres out there.

Umm my mom thought I was too obsessive. My father think people would think i was weird. My 17 year old brother thinks they are weird looking. My eight year old brother only likes one song Taeyang's wedding dress and my little sister(4) loves it. My parents have come to deal with it know and my mom listens to it because of my sister so... There's nothing she can do about it.... And my dad used to hate Asian dramas but now he likes them a lot in Netflix and watches them with my mom. My brother was a fan of stairway to heaven in 2004 and watched it with my mom all the time... There's a love hate relationship in general.

No. They enjoyed listening to it when I sang it to them. ^~^

Nope. I'm more of a mind-opener for some people because they, who never have listened to classical/classic-electro music in their life, tend to enjoy the songs I listen to and start listening to the genre a lot themselves. ^^

I guess before I start here's what the music, by genre, I enjoy: indie rock, house, techno, bass, hip-hop, chill out.
The only people that really were questionable were mom (found it weird and sometimes annoying that I liked instrumental music and/or repetitive rhythms found in dance music). Some would comment prior to dance music blowing up popularity why I liked this "Euro faggot" music (I lived in a mostly rural area before going to college in the city) or by a few of my friends, who were total hipsters and found anything that you could dance lame (then again they sucked at dancing ). Some cousins did give me crap for liking indie rock when they and everyone else were into hip hop and Latin music, but were cool with dance music. So yeah but I do the same to others

I live in a place where the idea of 'jpop' is pretty common, so I actually have a strangely difficult case. The conversation usually goes as so:
Coworker: "So, what kind of music do you listen to."
Me: "Oh, you know. A little of everything. I even listen to that new crazy dubstep occasionally.."
"Oh, well give me some examples!"
"Uh, well. If I'm listening to rock, I like some older stuff, like Boowy."
"Oh, David Bowie is cool!"
"Oh! Uhm, no.. I mean this..uh..Japanese rock group."
"OH YOU LIKE JPOP."
"N..not so simply.."
"My little brother listens to that stuff, like Ayumi Hamasaki and all that anime music."
"...Ah..cool.."

*crickets*

I actually haven't listened to the 'common' (wont use 'mainstream') stuff in a while. I'm pretty out of the loop with L'arc en ciel and the pillows so it kind of irritates me when everything becomes 'jpop.'

Of course, I do listen to *pop* but I just don't define Japanese music as a singular genre so getting other people out of that mind set is kind of hard.

No, my school friends respect my favorite bands and artists even if they don't listen to them.
