"Radiohead? I really liked that song Creep, but after that, I just didn't care for them that much."

"What? You are a moron! I seriously don't think you are smart enough to enjoy Thom Yorke's amazing gyrating vocal ensemble and you have your head too far up Dave Matthews' ass to enjoy the subtle tones produced by Johnny Greenwood's guitar. You voted for Bush, didn't you and I bet you drink Condeleeza Rice's piss. I bet you hate *** marriage too and eat red meat!!!! I just have to automatically assume you are below average intelligence and a pretentious Blink 182 loving ass just because of not liking Radiohead."

See, if everyone could be logical about it like you LLSS, then there wouldn't be a problem. And the rest of us wouldn't roll our eyes at people like DAC who says their concert is
the most excited thing to happen in his life. If that is the most exciting, I seriously feel sorry for him. One of my best friends in the world is a Radiohead fan and she doesn't get how I don't like them because she considers me very intelligent and I tell her, intelligence doesn't account for taste. I think it works both ways. You can have dumb people who like Radiohead and those who don't and can have smart people who like Radiohead and those who don't. But when Radiohead fans talk down to non-fans it just makes us hate them (the band) even more.
ok then friend, what should be more exciting then seeing one's favorite band on the planet? put opinions on the band aside, what should be more exciting? as a 19 yr old, there aren't many things that can be thrown on that list. and im sure there's plenty of zeppelin fans that would say seeing zeppelin is the most exciting thing in their lives, so why can't radiohead do that for me???

regardless i just saw them in cleveland and it was an experience that i will remember for the rest of my life

Oh and PS... I eat red meat, vote republican (the slim majority of the time), and I am not a fan of *** marriage
