That was something I was going to expand on in...Ha! That was something I was going to expand on in the post, actually. Some of the characters in the movie have dialogue like 'so is your dad a yuppie record producer who foists brainless crap on the masses rather than good music?' and such. For the characters, listening to indie music really does make them better than everyone else. Certainly more enlightened and evolved.<BR/><BR/>For me, music is as personal as taste in food. Either you like something or you don't, and there's not much you can do to change that. Just like how I can't stand the taste of mushrooms, I can't stand some music. But I am an equal opportunity discriminator-I think a very large portion of indie music is just as bad or worse than a lot of the popular stuff. <BR/><BR/>To an extent it's the free market concept-if something is good, then it should be more popular. But that's not necessarily true with music. There is some stuff I like that is incredibly obscure, to the point where I can't imagine the artist has more than about 100 fans worldwide. But the music is extremely good. And then there are people with millions of fans who suck. <BR/><BR/>So when it comes to music, I say listening to it doesn't say anything about anyone any more than eating mushrooms says anything about anyone. At the worst you can be accused of being slightly picky. Oh well.Christianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05732916390641586475noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-527854074025260879.post-53377684299740481042009-02-20T18:43:00.000-05:002009-02-20T18:43:00.000-05:00So how come people who listen to indie music think...So how come people who listen to indie music think they're 300% cooler than everyone else? <BR/>j/k, I like indie music too...Robinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01178002862683444151noreply@blogger.com
