I always just let people know I'm into "different" stuff, I guess, if they ask. Or, I'll say, "I'm into complex stuff." You know, cuz it's true. I try not to say genre names: "YEAH I LIKE GLITCH MATH FREAK FOLK JAZZ IDM." or something. But since my favorite genres ARE, like, surf and jazz, I'm sure most people can relate with that, so I'll use that as a stock answer sometimes. Really, I like all types of music, and people who are my friends for more than a month quickly begin to get used to the, uh, different types of stuff I play (I'll play Screeching Weasel one day, Sleeping People the next day, and .. uh .. Steaming Pile the next).
I've found that this question doesn't actually come up much in life, but .. it's hard when you go into a music store and you go, "Yeah, I need banjo strings." Cuz then you'll get, "Oh, you play banjo?"
YOU: "No..."
HIM: "...."
YOU:"...I want to put the banjo strings in my bass."
HIM:"...okay?"
YOU: "I have a broken bass that sounds all wobbly and ridiculous and I want banjo strings in there."
HIM:"..."
YOU: "I'm just doing, y'know, experimental stuff.."
HIM: "..."
YOU: "..you know, the Beatles experimented and stuff..."
HIM: "yEAH! THE BEATLES!"
Heh.
