Be me: Me

Be not me: Party Member A, Party Member B, the rest of the game group (unnamed)

Decide collectively that games would be better with background music

Everyone picks a handful of tracks to put on the playlist

No consistency between musical tastes

Metal, techno, J-pop, and so on

The J-pop causes problems, not because of the music, but because Member B thinks Member A was taking the piss by picking it, as opposed to sincerely liking it

Member A is a nice guy, but a mild weeb (studiedtheblade.gif), so it would be 100% in character for him to be into that moon rune business

Member B feels the need to "retaliate"

Be playing Battletech

Suddenly, "Having a Wonderful Time" from Tiny Tim starts playing over the speakers

Everyone but Member B: wat.gif

Member B: sidesinorbit.gif

Member A: youknowthismeanswar.jpg

Member B's belief that people were picking shit music on purpose becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy

People start picking songs with malicious intent

Songs they know people hate

Songs only they like

Songs even they don't like

Country

We don't play games with music anymore.
