How do others act around you?

On the contrary, I'm rather more open in terms of telling people what kind of music I like. I don't try to persuade anybody to stop listening to mainstream altogether, but I do try to introduce them to the instrumental material that I listen to.

I've told my family, a girl I know, hell even one of my classes at school that I listen to video game music and film scores. I was surprised nobody made any remarks (ie "that music sucks ass"), I'm guessing it's because they can't say it's stupid to listen to that kind of music when they haven't heard it for themselves. And I'm kind of glad they don't. The amount of people that take an interest in VGM/film music is peanuts compared to those that have an instant boner for the newest piece of shit #1 Radio Hit (I'm not talking about ALL mainstream here, because I know about the MEC and their taste in more obscure material. I'm talking about Daniel Powter, James Blunt, Avril Lavigne, etc.). To say that someone is an idiot for taking an interest in something with a lot of musical variation, and then turning around and popping in a CD in your car stereo with unoriginal cRAP and with the bass cranked up to full blast, making it so loud that anyone within a two-block radius can hear, is quite hypocritical.


Hi Xroc.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
