25 Indie Rock Pickup Lines to Use on Music-Nerd Dating Site Tastebuds

Share:

We thought we’d heard everything when we found out that some geeks were launching Cupidtino, a dating site geared exclusively towards Apple fans. Alas, the onslaught of niche Internet matchmaking services shows no sign of letting up. Today, we learned about the existence of Tastebuds, a site that uses Last.fm to make love connections between people with similar taste in music. Since most people who actually care deeply about their lover’s choice of tunes are sure to be of the indie-snob persuasion (no offense; we’re no exception), we’ve put together a handy list of 25 pickup lines for Pitchfork-readin’, All Tomorrow’s Parties-attendin’, vinyl-collectin’ elitists to use on the site.

1. “I’m looking to go from Loveless to ‘All Is Full of Love.'”

2. “I’m looking for a bear who’s into Grizzly Bear.”

3. “I’ve got four walls and adobe slats. So will you be my girl?”

4. “Will you be the Ben to my Zooey?”

8. “If I were Pitchfork and you were an album, I’d give you a 9.7. (Sorry, baby. No one gets a perfect 10.)”

10. “Who cares about Sleigh Bells? You’re all the Treats I need.”

11. “You know Flying Lotus is a band. But did you know it’s also a sex position?”

12. “ISO a girl who’s into S&M and Bible study — not everybody’s cup of tea.”

17. “I’m not looking for anything serious — just a fling that’ll last about as long as chillwave.”
