None of the friends I still have from school is remotely interested in electronic music; all pop, rock, singer-songwriter, punk, alternative. Air - Moon Safari, after much convincing, or The Prodigy, or some stupid mid-90's eurodance might get the occasional rotation but that's it.

Of course, they aren't truely open to my arguing that much of nowadays popular music is electronically-made, hence electronic in a wider sense. Which might be just as good, since it would be a shame to put it all in one melting pot with the branch of music we like to regard as the "real" electronic music, would it?
