Typical tool fan
I mean, this is exactly what that scene is trying to convey.
That… this dude is weirdly interested in ‘co-worker music’, he’s like, aggressively bland… and then he fucking snaps.
Hell, Bateman even literally says that one of their albums was too mainstream, too generic.
Bateman is totally vapid and hollow inside, and is desperately trying to find meaning, evoke an actually interesting response, but all he knows how to do is pantomime a cariacature of the perfect wall street socialite type.
So, you carry that forward, and the analogy works out to roughly: everyone whose entire life is wholly about fitting in to corpo culture, keeping up with the jones’s, everyone who is a ‘coworker music’ type of NPC automaton, ‘my personality is a couple Tiktok trends’ type person…
… they all have the potential to have this same Bateman style psychotic break, if they ever become… self-aware enough of their own lack of actual, genuine identity.
Maybe I didn’t understand the scene, when I watched it I assumed he had planned to kill the guy all along and that was just stuff Bateman was saying to make him think everything was normal
