you know, my last two posts weren't really meant to start an argument. and this is very much a personal preference thing. also, i don't think i'm in the same boat as indiemo and lance, because frankly, i don't know what their boat is. i think indiemo is frustrated with the state of music. i think lance has hopes for a grand new musical "movement". all three of us have a tendency to be musical elitists.

now, as for your last 'personal preference' comment, and "revolving around genre", well, for me and mine, genre can take a hike. you want some examples, i'll list them. i don't instantly reject the mainstream, i just don't pay it much mind. as far as being an elitist goes, i guess thats where my mainstream media bias comes in. i like a band that puts out good records, doesn't play up the hype, and cares about their music. the guys on MTV, the bands with little twenty second teaser TV ads, the bands taking out pages in Rolling Stone to advertise themselves, that right there is not my thing.

if its your thing, thats fine. doesn't make either of us better than the other.

oh yeah, rocket from the crypt can make the dead get up and dance....
