jesus

yeah i used to like those songs a ton, specially little things, but i overlistened to it...i only liked good charlotte for a little while then i sorta grew out of them.

marissa

hm, yeah...little things didnt bother me much, but motivate me did. my sister wrecks a lot of music just because she over listens to it, like...once ever 5 minutes. so maybe thats why it bugs me when bands get all popular, you hear it too much and you know you'll hear it too much, like on much music and stuff.

theres not much point to this thread. nobody's going to say "i want to be underground, i dont like popular bands, im too cool for that."

spearmint

sorry. Obviously, I was wondering why people use "cause they're 'pop' or 'mainstream'" as an excuse not to like them. And 'Jesus' and 'david frost' that was exellent you totally filled me in on what crappy music is thankyou so much, there's no point in descussing your views, cause you don't...discuss that is

David frost name me a band that you like that is popular? or one you liked before it was popular surly there must be at least on good band that's popular otherwise they wouldn't be popular?

oh yeah, sorry. i forgot i have to please you all, and if i like a band you like i cant like it.

okay, who are you to tell me what i listen to and what i dont listen to? Have you talked to me ever in your life? No, most likely not. actually, im pretty sure i havent talked to you. Modest mouse is actually one of my favorite bands, and for mars volta, i listen to them as much as i listen to modest mouse. A friend told me about the band, and the whole story about the band. do you know the story about the band?


but of course...i dont listen to it. sorry oh holly spearmint.

i dont have a specific set of standards for what sucks. i listen to a band, if they suck, they suck. question, why am i the only one having to explain myself about the music i hate? seems kind of lame to me.

by the way, i like those bands... alot.
