Every single member of the Batfamily lies about their taste in music

Damian will claim that he only listens to classical music and that everything else is beneath him.

Damian will unironically listen to trashy Arab pop and the absolute worst Bollywood songs known to man (Dick introduced him to them and he hates the fact that sometimes he gets Sheila Ki Jawani stuck in his head during missions)

Tim will put on the most ear grating hyper pop you've ever heard and claim with full chest that these is the peak of humanities capabilities with music (Damian, Jason and Steph have all tried to kill him for this take) He will also play stuff like the living tombstones and sing it obnoxiously loud when he's working on the computer.

Tim however loves his 90s grunge and it's all that's playing in his headphones. (think nirvana, pearl Jam, Melvins, Alice in Chains etc) He has tracked down so many shirts and concert posters and watched every bit of content from the older shows.

Jason will claim he only listens to east coast rap, biggie, Nas, Jay etc and maybe some older metal. He will fight you on east vs west coast music, there will be weaponry involved.

Jason likes rap music... he unfortunately prefers west coast rap and has listened to no vaseline like 500 times. He will deny this till the day he dies...again. (Dick knows and threatens to tell Steph)

Steph will steal the aux and play Taylor Swifts greatest hits until one of the Boys threatens mutiny. Every single one of the bats has had style stuck in their heads during a stakeout at least twice. She will claim that the only rap song she can tolerate in Eminem and the 7/11 is Beyoncés best song.

Steph is an underground fan, think the dude selling mixtapes on the subway type shit. She also unlike Jason genuinely loves East Coast Rap music more than anything and knows every single wu-tang clan song by heart, same with Biggie. Not only does she love the music she also spends any free time binging those "history of rap and its consequences" videos and has been a firm believer that P.Diddy had a hand in a lot of the Death row records well...deaths.

Cass, well everyone thinks Cass has really good taste bc its Cass and she has zero flaws (don't @ me) she never takes the aux and will usually listen to her music while she's chilling or doing stretches. None of them have heard or seen a single one of her playlists except Duke.

its all 2010s top 40s pop music and like the trashy kind too, Beauty and the Beat, Kesha, Katy Perry. It's her turning of her brain time and she will be straight vibing to Rude! by magic or Boom Clap or Shower. she has shown this to Duke, smirked and told him that even if he tried to tell anyone they wouldn't believe him.

Duke is the only one who doesn't... lie. He just hides a few things. Lies of omission don't count as lies when the bats will lie to you about what they had for breakfast, while they are visibly eating breakfast. Duke says he listens to everything and he does. Literally everything. His patrol Jam is offensive bc it with start with Norwegian death metal and immediately switches to "like a G6" followed by kendrick Lamar and then descendants Disney channel movie music.

Bruce... Bruce is just weird, everyone asks him and gets a different answer. Bc he doesn't... like music. Like at all. It's all noise, his mother played instruments so he learned like 14 and he hates how they all sound. He just like vague batwings fluttering in dead silence.

Dick Grayson will obnoxiously play top 40 and radio music religiously around the bats. He claims it's the best music for rhythmic acrobatics and trapeze work and that true! Jason hates this kind of music the most, it's formulaic and holds no substance and drives him insane.

But Dick only listens to that music when he's moving, flipping doing high energy stuff. When he just wants to chill? This man has the most depressing music taste you've ever seen. You know that sad song from ur favorite artist that you can't listen to without crying. Yeah that's his bread and butter. Every single song is just flat out tear inducing, some of these bands have like 100 listeners and he is one of them and it's just their saddest song that reads like suicide note. The titans have conducted an intervention bc its just... concerning. He just thinks it's neat!

perhaps it feels a bit silly, but felix cites this as the moment he's truly, fully in love with you. it's something he's grappled with before, a war within his heart as he's unsure whether he's enamored with you because you're someone new to him and he likes learning the intricacies that make up you, or if he's genuinely falling for you. chris is sitting on your couch, talking about the video game the four of you are playing together while seungmin teases him, and you're the one who immediately gets up when you see your cats batting at something near the window.

"shit--chris, a little help?" you hoist the two into your arms, dumping them into his lap. "hold onto them."

and then felix realizes what they're playing with: a little rain frog that, one way or another, ended up inside your apartment, just near the balcony doors. it's been raining for days now, and today is no different. you find a jar in your kitchen, carefully luring the little guy into it before pushing the sliding door open.

and you're so, so careful as you step outside and into the rain. chris is calling out to you to hurry up before you get rained on and end up sick, but you aren't in any hurry. felix gets up, making his way over, acting as though he's guarding the door from your cats in case they wiggle out of chris's grasp. but he's just watching you as you stand in the rain, looking around carefully for a safe enough spot to let the frog out.

you opt for the spot furthest from the door, carefully tipping the jar over and shaking it gently. the frog hops out, and then onto the side of the building. "there you go," you say softly. "stay out here, okay?"

and then you step back inside, shoulders wet and hair and cheeks wet with rain water more than the rest of you. seungmin lets out a heavy sigh, moving to find where you keep your towels, and chris lets go of your cats.

but felix just watches you. this is the moment he falls for you, head over heels, and he thinks he'll hold onto it for life.
