WHERE MUSIC LISTENS TO YOU

a journey of some sorts....

Posted over 3 years ago
anyways, i've been at this whole thing...not that long.you see, i've changed.before i came to college, i was on a steady diet of shitty emo and flash-in-the-pan bands. you know, the used, mcr, senses fail..not saying those were bad bands, but that's what my world existed of. nothing speicla. typical, right?and before that? i was a popwhore. and i'm not ashamed. i liked it all, with a sprinkling of TRL-esque rock bands on the side. i got it from my stepdad. he was black, yet he listened to nirvana and all that jazz. not typical back in the day. my mom, she instilled a firm love of cheesy r&b that to this day, i couldn't let go if i tried. ready for the world is and will always be one of my favorite bands ever.now where was i?ah, yes. i came to college in august, where i was given a very fast internet connection.my friend shawny, who is the most "indie" person i know, gave me links to music sites, places to get good stuff.let the transformation begin.since august, i have built an impressive music collection of things i never thought in a million years i'd ever listen to.say what, you ask?i was very firm in my decisions to not like any sort of music that was vaguely considered "indie" or anything like that. i just didn't. those people were extremely snobbish elitist assholes who honestly we'ren't worth my time.now, those people still aren't. that's not what it's about. i'm trying to make somebody understand, but it's so hard.i've change ALOT in three months, okay? my old musical tastes have flew out the window. they're gone, replaced by something newer, and IMO, better. and i like it. this made no sense. but i hope it did.

  2. Yah-Shua says Sounds completely familiar... it seems like my taste in music reinvents itself drastically every 9 months to a year... Everything I'm listening to is avant-something, or experimental-something, but i remember when it was all blink 182 and mxpx... so yeah, I feel you. My poor gf is new to music nerds and indie culture, so she's going through the same thing... suddenly there's this entire world of music she had no idea existed, and she's downright embarassed to let me see her cd collection. Not that I care what she listens to... *shrug*
