Hahahaha! Do I dare use the p word?
Now, I admittedly am a dude who actually knows what you're talking about, unlike your intended victim, but I would have great difficulty avoiding laughing in your face, and I'm not sure it's for the reasons you intend.
And it doesn't say you like world music, just that you really like Orphaned Land, perhaps to an unhealthy degree. Progressive death metal (or whatever over-specific genre they are) with middle eastern touches is not the same thing as actual world music--or even prog rock. So I wouldn't say it's informative, either.
I say I like jazz and most people drop it at that, which I'm happy with, even if their conception of jazz is almost certainly not mine.
