taste is taste. in fact, i usually envy people who can just sit back with thier mainstream radio and television and be so complacent and not question anything. it's been quite the burden for me being interested in harmolodics, noise, atonality, free improvisation, free jazz, dissonance, grindcore, cock esp, industrial, dark ambient, drone, and the like. I'll never forget when I went on a date with a girl. The girl was named Maudie, total girl next door type; pretty, wholesome, wore dresses, didn't drink, smoke, use, or even drink coffee, hated loud music, and was basically the polar opposite of "my type", but I liked her. The whole night went great, untill she turned on my car cd player and I had forgotten to take Temple of Bon Matin's "Bullet into Mesmer's Brain", a minute into the song she thought I was legit insane, asked for a ride home, and never called back. Didn't phase me much, because I still know how rad Temple of Bon Matin is.
The point of this? We have no right telling anyone what they listen to is bad. It's thier choice. We all take our certain paths, and as shallow as it is, what we are into pop culture wise is a big part of our individuality in this society. Therefore, it would suck if everyone liked what you liked. Give me diversity, give me freedom, give me wierd.
