It ends up being a battle of the genres, and those arguments seem so fruitless I think. That, I think, is a completely different argument from the good music vs. bad music argument. And now I know what kind of music you like! @uncannyman: Haha true. It ends up being a battle of the genres, and those arguments seem so fruitless I think.

And now I know what kind of music you like!

Just as long as you don't give other people crap for not adjusting their <i>hearing buds</i> to yours.... it's all good :) I'm reminded of my high school days where there used to be a bunch of guys who were into pop bands and these group of fellows used to get severely dissed by another group of guys who were into alternative-grunge-nu-metal and it used to be just plain mean... I mean okay fine if you don't like pop music, that's alright, but you don't need to go all out and label pop-music lovers as faggots now do you? Oh in case you're wondering, I'm into all sorts, I guess I'm the kind of guy that likes the song more than the genre... although I gotta say I have a favorable preference to Matchbox Twenty, Cranberries, Vertical Horizon and Goo Goo Dolls :) but really, anything goes for me... as long as it's nice to me <i>hearing buds</i> Nah you are who you are… what you enjoy listening to, well that’s your preference and your taste.

Being called "weird" is a compliment...without "weird" people the world would be even more of a mess than it is today! Maybe a uniform mess, but a worse place most assuredly. Or maybe i'm just biased, cuz if I had a penny for everytime i was called "weird" by my midwestern classmates...it would almost equal everytime they were called "lame" by me (in my head).

You do have quite a selection there! I have to admit my tastes are narrower - not in a good or bad way that is. (And you're right - it was definitely the touch-n-go style that irked me.) @codemunky: ...no... @peroty: I believe it was Primal Scream. You do have quite a selection there!

Odd is a compliment. It's the new "black". Did that just make sense? Don’t be offended. Odd is a compliment. It’s the new “black”. Did that just make sense?

Though I agree, just pinging someone to say that is rude. :P Well that depends on what you were playing at the time. ;-)

To me, it seems like just a way to write someone off. @moet-chen: Could be ... could be.

But from your blog design and content of your posts, I'd guess that 'Odd' is probably a bad choice of word for 'developed' or 'complex' or 'esoteric' or 'eclectic'. :-/ I’ve never tuned into Adium.
