A minor one I'd add.

It's important to share cultural context with people, to make yourself part of their ingroup in various ways.

A simple way to do that is to pick some reasonably popular bands/groups who's music you like and spend a modest amount of time becoming familiar with them. the band, their members and the music well enough that you can sing along with it.

it's an investment of a few days plus listening to some music in the background.

Then when someone says "what music are you in to" you can answer with something reasonable. Even if it's a band they don't like themselves it's better than "I'm not really into music"
