Actually, many of us — myself included — got so used to hanging out with music nerds, and being music geeks ourselves, that we feel like everyone must love music with the same fervor we do, and possess encyclopedic knowledge of it to boot. (The assumption of music awareness based on wardrobe stems from a time when diehard fans of punk, ska, goth, '60s mod, metal, hip-hop and the like often identified themselves and one another by subscribing to codified aesthetics.
