I'm massivley apathetic about music, and rarley listen to it, but lots of people who try to talk to me talk about music. What to do?

I'd probably say something like "Sorry, but I don't have much of an opinion toward it," or ignore them when they start up. I'd only use the latter if you're talking in a group conversation, though.

I like music, but I don't talk much about it because I'm not much for English-language music as I am for foreign music, so nobody knows what I'm talking about. x_x

When that happens to me (not about music, which I listen and like quite a bit), I simply wait in silence until the conversation shifts to a more interesting matter to me. For some forms of social gathering that may make me look awkward or shy, but I certainly prefer that to talking about things I don't know of or have no actual interest in.

Finally a fellow who is as disinterested in music as me. I usually say I'm just not into music, but if they ask "why not?" I also have the convienient explanation to say that I am deaf in one ear (which I am) and that because of that music isn't as awesome to me as it is for everyone else.

Whether my partial deafness makes me less interested in music or not, I am not sure.
