I have a very shallow yet frequently-listened to pool of J-Pop on my MP3 player, mostly Vocaloid music and anime songs. No one ever expects it; they see me more as a rocker, considering my hair style.

Depends I suppose. I think the large amount of Green Day on my iPod might surprise some, them and Four Year Strong. Also, having Between the Buried and Me and Circa Survive near each other is interesting. Or, you know, Gorillaz.
I mean, I don't have a particular appearance pointing me towards a certain clique, so I'm not sure what people would expect me to like. My iPod is mostly metal, so I suppose once you get to know me it's the more non-metal stuff that stands out. Before that, I don't come off as much of a metalhead though, so Opeth isn't exactly what people expect.

Most of my t-shirt collection consists of metal/ punk/ rock shirts so I get some odd looks when I go to a hip hop show wearing a Death shirt.
I've run into some people expecting me to listen to stuff that I absolutely do not. A friend I met in college really expected me to be into Rush for some reason, but I think they're incredibly cheesy.
I have long hair and a beard so I occasionally run into people who expect me to be a dead head. Again, not really a fan.
So I guess based on those assumptions, everything I listen to is something people don't expect.

humm, love me a bit of Robert Cray!Mistrouser said:
but seriously I have the same problem, people expect me to like all these emo "I wear more make up than my sister" bands. I listen to blues and jazz, the likes of Jimmy Vaughn, Robert Johnson, Skip James, John Coltrane, Oscar Peterson .... normally whilst blowing something up in a game!
Scissor Sisters (most of their songs)
Hatsune Miku (it's the vocaloid)
Rihanna (few of her songs)
Those are the ones people have risen their eyebrows for when seeing those on my playlist.

Ironically, that's what I dance to more than anything else, even outside of that particular artistDanik93 said:

Probably The Clash, Gorillaz and My Morning Jacket, everyone thinks i'm a metal crazed maniac..... which i kinda am
Most artists people don't expect to listen are normally the mainstream solo artists such as Lady GaGa, Michael Buble.
But the biggest one? Is The Saturdays on my iPod. The amount of raised eyebrows...
