Yah it can go both ways, for example, a lot of "indie" people refuse to listen to anything if it's mainstream for no fact other than it's mainstream, which I think is just as bad. And yeah, I went through that boy band era... >.> but now I try to keep an open mind to whatever I'm listening to, but I do tend to make generalisations abot rap...
