Confirming what I knew already, lol

So there was a post a while back about how people who say Bring Me To Life is a bad song b/c it's become a meme just can't admit it still goes hard, which prompted me to comment that similarly people who act like Linkin Park is a meme band just don't wanna admit they totally were blasting Meteora/Minutes to Midnight back in early Oughts, which left me throwing some LP on in the background while I'm on the road

And yeah, people who act like it's bad for being popular enough to become a meme are fucking idiots who probably just can't admit it's not for them, personally.

(Like, I get it, I'm a Finn who's never particularly liked metal, sometimes music just doesn't resonate with you, but there's so many reasons for why this would resonate with people and probably still does, it's just that humorless bastards think it's funny to mock anyone who has an emotional reaction to art.)

When I was a kid (in the Oughts) I disliked new music mostly because I disliked the people who were exposing me to it. I've warmed up to 00's pop somewhat since then, though I still think a lot of it is just so *depressing*. (I don't like music that's *too* happy, but there's such a thing as going too far the other way.)

That being said, I unironically like Phil Collins, so I think I know a similar feel.
