I fully understand and relate.
the problem is you are not truly taking it far enough. I work with people who have never heard of indie, or even of sonic youth. these are REGULAR PEOPLE. Answering the question "what kind of music do you like?" when it comes from a "straight" (my term for regular people) is tough.
I always just say "crazy avant punk."
and they leave clueless ad confused.
in most people's world's there truly are just a few genres of music, and you either like country, or rock, or r&B (shudder) or blues, etc.
