leia131You know what?
I like Good Charlotte. And I like Simple Plan, and The All American Rejects, and Avril Lavigne, and The Milkshake Song, and "I Don't Wanna Be," and especially Bowling for Soup. I like that one song by Yellowcard, "Ocean Avenue," and the one song by Dashboard Confessionals that I can't remember how it goes, but I know I like it, and a couple songs by Fall Out Boy and I refuse to be ashamed of any of that.
And the more people keep saying "Ugh, why do you like them?" The more I'm going to listen to them and like them, and talk about how much I like them, just to piss those people off. I don't criticize your musical tastes, and I'll thank you not to criticize mine.
Paul likes Snoop Dogg, and Chris listens to Spanish Techno and Renee only knows musicals and Emalee listens to bands I've never even heard of. Erin is Green Day obsessed and Kelley only listens to oldies, and all of that is ok. I don't care. More power to them. Listen to what makes you happy, and I wish you well.
But world? Shut the fuck up about what I listen to, and stop trying to foist your music on me. Forcing me to listen to what you like will not make me like it, and, in fact, will probably have the opposite effect.
Thank you.
P.S. But I don't listen to Ashley Simpson.
ETA It's "Vindicated." The song by Dashboard Confessional, I mean.
