  • There's a chance of me sounding hypocritical, here, but sobeit. One of the things that drives me insane is the hipsters who cannot do ANYTHING "mainstream." Ok, yeah, I hate when things are mainstream. I love when I'm the only one who knows of stuff. I love loving things that nobody else loves or has ever heard of. I hate when everything is overproduced and everywhere. I hate it. I do. But I hate it SO much when people are all "I/You can't like this song because it's their most popular song." It's their most popular song because it's their best, maybe? So why can't you enjoy something that is obviously good? Seriously. "Reading The Hunger Games. I hate myself for going mainstream." Shut the fuck up. It's a good book. Maybe you should have read it a long time ago. -Sure, I hate that it's going to be the most popular movie and everyone wants to see it and everyone loves it, now. When I read it, nobody has really even heard of it. "At least it's not In The Aeroplane Over The Sea, Because you can't listen to an indie band correctly and listen to their MOST FAMOUS SONG!" Shut the fuck up. Seriously. Shut all the fucks up. The bottom line is: Like what you like. Listen to what you like. Watch what you like. Read what you like. Because it's about your personal enjoyment. Sure, popularity taints things. Sure, some things are ruined. But that doesn't mean you can't still enjoy it. And that doesn't mean you must not proceed to any door that says "Welcome." So shut the fuck up stop being a dicktit. Aurevoir

  • Well -said. I concur entirely.
    There is a dimension of more-indie-than-thou hipster exclusivity which is so weak it's beyond laughable.


    [But I hate it SO much when people are all "I/You can't like this song because it's their most popular song." It's their most popular song because it's their best, maybe? So why can't you enjoy something that is obviously good?]
    YES !! You have my vote, sir.


    There is a fine line - not all commodities voraciously consumed by the majority are intrinsically - good; but yeah - when a lot of people acknowledge liking something it just MIGHT be because that thing is actually well-crafted ! Ha ha ha. Good commentary - and your poetry is interesting too. Thanks for not being an inarticulate bore here at Song Meanings.
