Why? Because he doesn't agree with you?

I don't know if I'm being too picky, but I feel like I'm giving things lots of chances and extra chances. And just reacting honestly on things I'm checking out. I don't know if I should talk more about what I like. I don't like being seen as "that guy who hates everything".

This is how I was for a while. You try to "fit in" by listening to the music they all think you should be/kissing the musical arses they kiss, but in the end it's wasted effort because they won't accept you any more for even trying. They'll kick you for not trying, and they'll kick you for trying and not getting it. Sometimes they'll even kick you for trying and getting it. Just not worth it. Be yourself, man, and **** the lot of them if they don't like it. That's how I manage to survive here.

I also frown at you for bitching so often about being frowned at.

Well you do live there so....

He never does. Best to ignore him; he'll eventually get bored and wander away.

Me with Office Space. They just don't get it.

It is because Kiiii is generally humourless.

That's true, but I don't feel like I'm being unreasonable about, for example, progressive rock. I really am trying to just listen first, then save the reactions for later. If it isn't clicking, then I either need to return again some other time or to check out another band with a different sound. I don't think I can suddenly appreciate Yes just by thinking about their music differently, but maybe I'm wrong about that.

Nah it's fine. Just because I sometimes want to beat him over the head with a shovel, it doesn't mean I have anything against him.

I don't want what you got. Stay away from me.

T'would be a great thing, but alas, t'is not so. I present to you, the sissy way of creating the meme's:

Knowing what other people find valuable about the group and that your gripes aren't really the focus of the music can certainly help though.

People who spend more than 30 seconds creating a meme also complain about controllers with more than two buttons.

Sorry, I thought we were just throwing out random words, a la Python. Tabernacle's inside a church, no?

Yeah I figured as much. My fame has not (yet) spread far enough for a meme to be circulating about me.

That's when you know you've really arrived.

The annoying thing about you (well, one of the many thousands of annoying things about you) is that you give people all this **** for not "getting" certain music but refuse point-blank to afford them the same courtesy. Case in point: my Prefab Sprout album in the Album Club, which you dismissed after I think two tracks with the pithy comment "I don't need these white boy blues" or some other ignorant comment. So how are you any better than Mic, or me, or anyone else who doesn't give the music you think is important the chance you believe it deserves? Pot/kettle and all that.
