I will take steps to provoke people who have some facile superiority complex about their personal taste in music. One, because ninety-nine times out of a hundred they don't know shit about their own music in the first place; and two, because they're assholes and they deserve to be treated as such.

Same for me. I try not to jump on anyones taste in music unless I feel they have no respect for other peoples taste and thus I don't respect theirs.

I'm surrounded by people who love country pop, hair metal and post grunge. Including my mother. If people start playing music I hate, I leave the room. If we're in a car together and it's a long trip, then it's a different story. But more often than not I just try to endure it. There's few people I know personally that share a lot of my tastes, but I try not to be a jerk to anyone about it.

Unless they call me a f*g for liking Bjork and then an obligatory "f*ck you, you like Hinder" is in order.

The song that came up was April Skies by The Jesus & Mary Chain.

Now say I want to find a video of this song on YouTube. As usual I have to scroll through endless shitty mobile phone taken videos as I mentioned earlier but now I have a new horror to sort through. Fan made tributes.

I'm not talking about fan made videos that use the original song , those can sometimes be quite good. I'm talking about finding a video of a song you like only to discover it's not the band you like at all. It's prick sitting on a sofa plucking his way badly through your favourite song with an acoustic guitar in a sad attempt to impress both his friends.

Look ! If I want to watch a Jesus & Mary Chain video I want big 80s hair , feedback , attitude. I don't want to see your fat pasty face murdering a song I like. And what's worse is you still put the name of the band and the song in the title and don't bother to mention it's you doing the song until you see the video's description AFTER you've loaded the page.

Are William & Jim Reid sitting on the sofa with you?

No they're not so don't call it a Jesus & Mary Chain video you fucking moron. Why not write as a title Here's me ruining a classic Mary Chain song so we all know where we stand.

Holy f*cking sh*t yes.
