Here's one:
When I go to a show and I read the list of bands and I ask someone "what kind of band are they?" and the person replies "indie?" and I say "like what kind of indie? pavement indie, SY indie, belle and sebastian indie, don caballero indie? Indie could mean anything" and then they say "no, more like blablabla, and that's what indie is" (always some band that I've never heard of or only seen on t-shirts) and then when I see the band they are really dumb and awful in one way or another. Sometimes like Coldplay awful, sometimes like Saga awful, sometimes like screamo awful.
I was at a show that I was playing once and the soundguy said, y"ou're the electronic act right?" And I say, "no my music is all heavily guitar based, I used drum machines and synth, but guitar is the main instrument." And he said "oh, well that is what someone who told me what you sounded like said."
