Well, yeah... thats mainstream mentality. and that's never gonna change. There will always be cattle. It's up to the individual to decide if they want to think for themselves, or just be another follower (ie. victim of marketing/media/critics). There are ALOT of people out there that listen to music, but are NOT music lovers. For these people, the "shitty music" is fine. They have their top 40, and their Spin magazine, and they're happy with it. So what if shitty music gets deemed "THE ONE"? That music wasnt meant for us anyway. I could care less if the guy sitting next to me doesnt know the difference between hip hop and house. It's my bag, not his. > -----Original Message----- > From: neuromx [SMTP:xxxxxxx@xxx.xxx] > Sent: Friday, March 20, 1998 9:32 AM > To: xxxx.xxxx@xxxxxx.xxx; Byrne, Michael > Cc: xxx@xxxxxxxxx.xxx > Subject: Re: (idm) screw roni size > > > >Of course they got annoyed, but hell havent you realised yet? > >people in general are always wrong. > > > > I agree with this last statement.
