I'm in the room.It's a typical Tuesday night

I'm listening to the kind of music she doesn't like

listen to sth./sb.听…

she doesn’t like是music的定语从句,因为music在定语从句中做宾语,所以可以省略引导词that/which

find后连接一(that)引导的宾语从句,

the whole time一直,可以直接做时间状语而不添加介词

If you could see that I'm the one who understands you

that引导宾语从句

这个句子并不完整,听者领略大意即可
