So I've been sitting here at my computer like, all day, sigh. Must finish editing these wedding photos tonight. Anyway, and then sometimes I check my facebook for a break. And sometimes I remember that things bug me. Here is today's annoyance of the day...
I find people who think that they have superb taste is music annoying. Not only annoying, but kind of... pompous? It's like they think that they have superior taste and the rest of us just like crap. And then telling the world that they hate all the music on the radio, like there too awesome for the radio. As if. While I agree that not all music is amazing, or even lyrically creative, I can still appreciate it, or that fact that someone else might like it. While there is so much music out there, I think it's hard to find something that everyone agrees on. We all have different tastes. And why can't we just accept each other for our differences. I for one, like a lot of different types of music. Some I will admit to, others are guilty pleasures. But the truth is, if it has great lyrics or even just a catchy beat, chances are I'm going to like it.
Also, something that bugs me along the same lines. While some like to put others music down, some like to go on and on about how awesome the music they listen is. And then they proceed to name about 106 bands that no one anywhere has ever heard of. It's like they think they're extra cool for listening to music that no one else listens to. It's like, "Oh, you've never heard of them? That's cause only a small select group of choice people have had the opportunity to be enlightened by their unusual beat, crappy lyrics and bad recording." Sigh. And people have got to start somewhere, I get that. But it's the annoyingness of annoying people that annoys me. And the fact they they need to shove their opinions into everyone's ears to prove how superior their taste is. And maybe that makes my blog post hypocritical? I don't think my taste is superior, I know some of the music I listen to is not amazing (although some is :) ).
So I guess what I'm saying is that people should get off their high musical horses and enjoy the beauty of music and let others enjoy their it also. Also, stop being annoying.

Hear, hear! There's lots of music I don't like, but if other people want to listen to it- well, it's their ears, I guess. Although when I'm forced to listen to music I don't like it makes me grumpy. No country stations will be playing in the Flowers household- at least, not when I'm home.
I agree. Although, I think we could apply this same sentiment to almost anything, ie, people who think that their opinions are superior to others are annoying and hard to be around.
Me likey the country lately (for about all of this year - I knew all the songs and people at the CMAs, that's never happened before). Although now that's it's November, I have my seasonal Enya cd on in the car.
My hubby is a music lovin' fool. All kinds. His i-tunes collection is very eclectic. If it sounds cool, he'll listen to it (the Titanic song in Vietnamese?)
