People who let music influence their life too much.

The people who name drop and can be quite snobbish about their knowledge of obscure bands

Oh I knew them before they were famous
I preferred their early stuff before they sold out to commercialism and went mainstream

In defense of mikemack he was referring to the pseudo intellectual muso's who try to be as obscure with their taste as possible where the obscurity of the music is of more importance than the quality. There is a falseness and vanity to this.

I spend a lot of my days listening to music and and am constantly looking for new artists but I try to be true to my own taste and have plenty of guilty pleasures, I don't think its fair to extrapolate his argument to the point where you can't have an opinion on anything that's a bit of a leap.

In my opinion there are worse things than music that can influence your life too much, its all about getting the balance right I suppose

You don't really know how his comment was intended in fairness. He didn't mention "pseudo intellectual musos" in his post, just those who supposedly "name drop" (which much of the time is just naming bands that other people haven't heard of and not Katy Perry). I used to be accused of being a "music snob" when, in fact, I was just very passionate about listening to and playing music. I knew what I was talking about at the time...others thought I was being pretentious. Some people are just very passionate about what they like. Yes, I agree, there's those pretenders out there but when those of us who just happen to adore music are labelled pseudo intellectual musos or music snobs, it bugs me. Many people I meet who talk about music actually know what they're talking about, at least those over 23. It's pretty childish to pretend.

Always wondered why some lads in school where mad about ozzy osbourne.

The pop singers have become the new clergy in a new style of peer system.Like the clergy of yesteryear they don't have to explain anything just make people feel good and they'll follow them anywhere.Even to the grave by the 'live fast die young credo'.I knew one young fool years ago who seem to live in a phantasy world of pop songs.He had no other topic of conversation...he did'nt see 20.There are probably thousands like him.I wonder will the entertainment business ever be asked to account for it's effect on our young....like the churches it does'nt look like it..not soon anyway.The present generations are every bit as docile as previous ones i suppose.

where do you make this shoit up....

If you still do it in your twenties and thirties just tone it down a little. Which most people tend to do so it's all good. Good post Samich

Whats the difference between wearing a metallica t shirt and jeans with chains and wearing a munster tracksuit? nothing wrong with either.

You could also argue that there's lots wrong with both of them.

Funny you should mention hipsters (I'm not a big fan of them either), because I heard recently from a friend that apparently it is now 'cool' among hipsters to be into old school hip-hop. This is what angers me about hipsters. Who decides what's 'cool'? And why does everyone just go along with it instead of making up their own minds? I'm sure there are plenty of people who don't like hip-hop and would never listen to it, only it's 'cool' now so they tell people they do like it. This is something I hate. These people don't give a f*ck about music, all they care about is being cool.

OOO anti hipster squad.......


I like that

Hipsters are fun to make fun of but if you find they are making you angry then I'd suggest you look for the deeper cause.

A shrink might even be able to help you.
