Summary
"You're young, you should know this." Peter pauses, before repeating, "Ee Dee Em." This time putting more emphasis on each separate syllable. The sounds still don't make any sense to Martin, and he shoots Peter a pointed look. At this, Peter elaborates, "Electronic dance music?"
Oh. He's been saying EDM, which, to Peter's credit, is an actual thing. But, as Martin takes in the words properly, they don't become any less baffling than they were initially. He's listening to Beyoncé for God's sake.
"Do you even know what that is?" Martin asks, the disbelief obvious in his voice.
"Of course I do," Peter smiles, "It's all I listen to these days."
And in that moment, Martin realizes he has to make a choice. He can go on with his work, maybe finish before two in the morning, but have to ignore Peter's comments and just accept that yes, maybe, Beyoncé is actually electronic dance music. Or, he can turn his chair around properly and face Peter, and attempt the gruelling task of explaining to an old rich white man that, no, actually, he most definitely does not "only listen to EDM these days."
