I carefully take off my headphones and lift my gaze to a new external irritant. A hairy guy in a worn leather jacket, holding a bottle of "Tolstyak" in his hand.
Don't you like Aria? Master? Black Coffee?
I continued to nod negatively, even though I actually like the band "Black Coffee" quite a bit.
Are you into metalcore?
- Hi, not really...
- So, what do you listen to in general? Heavy metal or thrash?
- Nightwish.
And in general, it's all a lie, because a weak nerd in headphones, staring at his phone in a dark corner, isn't interesting to anyone. In the last six months, I was only asked "what are you listening to?" once, and that's actually good, because I don't want people bothering me. Only when they need something from me, when someone depends on me, haha. I dominate!1

although, no, I heard one song by Master, it's okay
