You Can Have Your Music and Shove It

Religion and politics are supposed to be the two topics sure to ruin any party or even friendship. But today's pop-culture fanaticism has produced a topic far more deadly to life, fun, and relationships, than the previous two topics could possibly ever be: music. That's right, music. It's the touchiest subject possible with most people. Bring up music and everyone is at each other's throats. Don't even go there. Fuck, you mention Led Zeppelin and someone who's angsty and dead-set against the band (probably because it hurts the person's fragile ego to think that there's a band that could possibly be better than the band he or she chose as a "favorite" as a child) will flame you and "educate" you on how they "ripped off" a bunch of blues artists and The Who, and all you want to say is, "I don't really give a fuck," because it's not like you're some die-hard fan-- you just like the fucking music.

Fucking Christ. People and their music. Indeed, all of your musical likes in regards to songs suck, and are uninspired pieces of corporate whoredom. You have no taste, and therefore, no right to breathe the same air as the more "distinguished in musical taste."

And the same person will turn around and explain how Panic! At the Disco and the Arctic Monkeys are great, innovative bands (when it really makes no damn sense to say that; you can just as easily say they are the shittiest bands in existence and their songs are audio excrement).

What. The. Fuck.

And I have to pretend that I like Incubus just to avoid further argument from the self-styled elitists in musical taste (who are usually fangirls enamored by Brandon Boyd, the pop-culture king of swaying young girls' hearts while pretending to be some rock badass with a voice that sounds like shit). I mean, who the fuck is Incubus anyway? Anyone ever heard of these jackoffs? The fuck if I know who they are. In the 20GB of songs downloaded from the internet I have on my hard drive, maybe three of them are by Incubus. That might be stretching it.

Frankly, why can't people just let each other listen to their fucking music and deal. I mean, it isn't like you have to listen to music you don't like. If you have an iPod, or a CD player, or MP3 player, something, you can listen to your own shit or just ignore it. Whatever.

Here's the deal. I like what I like. And if I happen to like Led Zeppelin, or Nirvana, you can fuck off about it.

Thanks to Mr. Smith and Rano for letting me steal some of the shit they said in this thread. Here's your credit. Now fuck off. ;)
