Sharing Music and the Bizzare Cultural Norms Surrounding it

My sister decided to share a band called Starf***er with me. At first, I was dubious. Saying one is a fan of band called Starf***er somehow conveys the impression that the same person also watches hardcore porn in their basement. Nonetheless, I listened. I closed my eyes and let myself drift as the calming music washed over me, and as I did, I wondered about the whole music sharing thing.

I mean, what is the protocol for someone sharing music? Are they supposed to stand next to the speakers with a smile on their face or just be neutral? Do they look at the person they're sharing the music with? What's the correct social stance there? I always feel awkward sharing music, especially if it's Electronica. Do I stand near the iPod or do I go sit down? If I sit down, do I sit down near the person or opposite them? Should I leave the room altogether and let that person absorb the music on their own?

And what about being the sharee? Am I supposed to tilt my head back and shut my eyes to listen to the music fully? Do I stare at the person who's sharing the music with me or avert my eyes to the corner of the room? Would it be considered rude if I kept reading my book?

So many questions, and none of them have an easy answer. I'm pretty sure that even the most socially adept have a hard time with this (that is, if those people share music at all).

And what about afterwards? The sharer will undoubtedly ask, "What do you think?" How do I respond to that? Does "It was good" sound too much like I didn't really like it but wanted to make the sharer feel good? What if I seriously enjoyed it? Do I put more emphasis in "good" so as to say "It was GOOD?"

It's dizzying if you think about it for too long. Which reminds me... I have to get back to listening to their song Isabella of Castile.
