Guilty Pleasures

Rob Zombie, Rammstein, Tanzwut, In Extremo, Eminem, and video game music. Those are the kinds of music i get the most weird looks for.

I am one of two people in my group of friends who drinks rum. That has sort of reached the level of guilty pleasure among my circle of friends. Everyone else drinks Gin. I can't stand the stuff.

Probably also the fact that i listen to metal at all. I'm one of the only people i know who listens to the bands i listen to. It makes driving with friends really hard, because everyone's taste is completley different than mine. And if i'm the one driving, i basically get nothing but complaints, and condescending comments

Passenger "We're gonna turn the music off now k?"

Me "Why?"

Passenger "Because this music isn't for everybody. Here, we're gonna listen to this stuff now"

Me *Cringes at the sounds of Jesse McCartney*

There's nowhere I can't reach.

I guess I have a few Guilty Pleasures.

One is fantacising. When I think of things that seem cool (like being an assasin or probably using magic), those thoughts tend to bleed through to my body motion. Even to the point to were I carry an extra long screwdriver around at work.

Friend: Why are you carrying that screwdriver around Dekoa?
Me: (embarrased) Oh nothing nothing. I just uhh, uhhhhh.....
Friend: You can't do magic Dekoa, stop pretending to be Harry Potter.
Me: I don't do that, I just need to keep my hand active so I'm not as bored.

Another would probably be along the same lines only with music and dancing. I get weird looks for that sometimes.

How ya doing, buddy?

I could say that GFF is a guilty pleasure. My friends don't go on message boards, and if I showed them this, they'd be like '"What the fuck?"

I also enjoy listening to "Every time we touch" by Cascada... it so catchy!!

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

I enjoy karaoking to Backstreet Boys. Hey, they've got some good tunes back in the day. And I also enjoy karaoking to Madonna, especially "Like a Prayer". There's nothing wrong with 80's mainstream music... heck I had Journey ringtones for an entire semester.

Sennheiser. And don't bother with wireless headphones, they will never be as good as wired headphones. And don't bother with surround-sound headphones, they all suck. The best way to experience surround-sound with headphones is to listen to binaural recordings, or in the case of movies, use the Dolby Headphone track.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Sennheiser, Sennhauser, wutevah...

By the time I decide to dish out enough money for such a thing, I'm sure surround sound will work better on 'em =p

Man, fuck all ya'll. They revolutionized music from the 70's to the 90's and you cocksuckers not only missed it, but crack jokes at those of us who were lucky enough to be in the middle of it. FUCK WHAT YOU HEARD.

A-Fucking-Men

Not only good music, but the fucking best. The sound of a synthesizer backing some amazing vocals makes my nipples hard.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

An old guilty pleasure of mine used to be all of those trashy, Z-list celebrity reality shows on VH1. I just couldn't get enough of The Surreal Life, Celebrity Fit Club and other trash like that. Once I realized I was probably losing brain cells, I kicked the habit. LOL.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Eurodance

Really cheesy, fun dance music that's made in Germany and sold in Japan.

and this:


There's nowhere I can't reach.

My guilty pleasures:

1. Cheaters - the tv show that celebrates monogamy and very public, humiliating confrontations

2. Us Weekly - sometime I need to just zone out.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

That show is awful! I did see it once when there was a guy who caught his gf cheating. They bust in in her, and she's got her lover tied to the bed or something. The lover was another chick, and the guy was still upset.

Don't most guys wish for that sort of thing?

The only one I can think of at the moment isn't video game music but a form of it: dating sim/visual novel music. It's not often I listen to it, but when I do, I regard it as a guilty (cheerful) pleasure. ^_^

I have many guilty pleasures that connect to nostalgia but I can't name any specifics. Y'know, once in a while I'll watch a show I used to watch when I was younger. (only when I have spare time, though. I wouldn't go out of my way to watch it. >_>)

I was speaking idiomatically.

Do sexual fetishes count? I don't really have any guilty pleasures entertainment-wise. I'm not ashamed of anything I like whether a lot of people like it or I'm the only person in the world that does.

But I do have some sexual fetishes that not all women would be into. Nothing sick that would get me arrested or anything, but I'm going to keep this thread PG13.

Truth. Oh, yeah, that was a guilty pleasure, and if you wanna loosely bring "was" into the present tense...

FELIPE NO

One of my guilty pleasures is VGM. When people ask me what I'm listening to on my MP3 player I always tell them that it is the radio. They wouldn't understand if I told them anyway, so I may as well keep it to myself.

I'm also into this as well, but I don't tell anyone because I'm embarrassed about it. People are surprised that I know what is going on in this soap though when they start talking about it at work. I'm not the sort of person that you would expect to watch this sort of thing, which leads to me getting some funny looks off people when I join in the conversations that they have at work.

Voyeuristic pleasures involving bunny rabbits committing suicide.

And melting cheddar cheese on white rice for dinner.

If they can't find a good story just because they refuse to see past a "cartoon" medium then it's their loss. I'm not gonna beg niggas left and right.

Will you marry me?

Those are my pleasures, too--but I don't feel guilty about it. I also love my Video Game music, now THIS does make me guilty because I really don't know the new groups....

Count me in on that as well. I didn't watch The Surreal Life religiously, but it did lead me to watching the HILARIOUS My Fair Brady. I do genuinely enjoy Hogan Knows Best!

And as far as this topic is going, count me in also in the realm of VGM geekdom.

Um... These seem more like odd fetishes than guilty pleasures.
