i agree with this kind of. i do need some mental stimulation most of the time when i listen to music. not that it cant be catchy, or simple. i just want it to be meaningful.

although once in a while i will listen to some super poppy music, i just find it to be less creative.

jp is right about not listening to music based on what other people like, or because you feel you need to impress people with your musical tastes, but i still just genuinely hate fall out boy. they are just way to commercial for me, and i hate everything they stand for.

when i hear their music it seems like they are trying to write these really deep lyrics, and sound like they are sooo into about whatever they are writing about, but it all ends up being so cliche and canned. and these guys are winning all of the mtv music awards. and it's not that i hate them for being successful. i wish some of the bands i really love could be more successful (heck i wish i could make millions by writing music). it just annoys me that they can be successful by writing all the same cliche garbage that a million other "punk" bands out there write.
