Rise Against, Mariana's Trench, All American Rejects and 3OH!3 are the favorite musical groups of a girl I know. She's spoiled, she appears to be a little angel with her big bullshit smile and life accomplishments to back it all up when her parents introduce her, but knowing her for years I know that she's a cold, shallow little bitch. She is easily swayed by what she sees on TV. She is given everything she wants, whether it's her wardrobe of bland yet expensive Abercrombie T-Shirts, her cell phone, iPod, all those accessories that her daddy bought her, or all the places she goes (for a shopping spree?). On paper she is the kind of person I should hate, and yet I have found myself having feelings for her.

Now you might be wondering, how does this relate to music? Well, as I said before, her favorite bands are Rise Against, Mariana's Trench, All American Rejects, and 3OH!3. On paper, I should hate these bands. They're produced and appeal to a shallow-minded mainstream audience. Yet they produce the kind of hooks that you cannot help but enjoy. On a good day, you'll hear a song on TV or the radio and nod and hum along. On a worse day, you'll despise them, hate their guts. And when I add it all together, weigh all the positives and negatives... I dislike these bands. Such are my feelings towards this girl. For some reason, I've been attracted to her for a couple of years now, despite all the grief I have been put through. Now, after all this time, I don't want this anymore. She's not the kind of person I want. "Hooks" are decieving, substance is needed for truly good music, and truly good people.

I know this all sounds ridiculous and juvenile coming from a young teenager, but I don't really care. This is the only way I could relate music, my current emotions, and my even hatred towards society and pop culture. The bottom line is: you can tell a lot about a person by the music they like.
