Conan Gray? Had to look him up . . .He's pretty . . . . MID. Nothing special to me. Honestly one of those artists I'd never assume was uhm . . . anyone's FAVORITE or even Top 5? but uh... okay.

But uhm, yeah get the hell away from Vincent. Musical elitism isn't where it's at.

If you want to keep the friendship going and not be as aggressive as I would be then idk...

Maybe when you hang out with him give hints you're not into it. " Can we listen to something else? This one isn't the vibe. " ---- " ah, I'm pretty exhausted by Conan Gray. Pretty burned out." ---- " Let's look for something new. "

If he wants to double down or pick a fight over it ... then just say you're glad Mid-level e-twink beats are worth fighting over. Maturity shouldn't get in the way of his ego and golf-clap for him.
