reading all this insanity and just shakin' my head . . . i kinda see how very different we all are. that's definitely not news, but it's a fundamental thing that changes the way we perceive things, the way we're effected by the events going on around us, and something we conveniently forget to acknowledge when taking other's musical preferences into consideration.

music is so important to all of us, personally, yet we're fast to tell someone that what they like sucks and/or lacks substance. i know i am. if i think something sucks i'm on the bull horn. i can't even help myself. i think i have and will continue to calm down with that. i just like what i like and i'm comfortable knowing that you's will continue liking what you like. now, to one person a song might DEFINE a generation. to another it might be what they see WRONG with the world. it'll certainly vary.

each of us go through certain things and have different experiences that make us react differently to music--the variables are endless. and that's not even factoring in what music we were raised on and the little idiosyncratic things our subconscious mind decides it likes or dislikes. i keep trying to take this forum as an opinion piece, but it doesn't come off as such. it's crazy and pretty ballsy to select ONE song and say this is the song of the generation. each person will live that generation differently and each person will pick their own song to sing.

and, yes, even after all of this --- 75% of the music you all on here like to listen to freaking sucks! it's awful and it sucks and it will not stand the test of time. :]

have a nice day.
