Music + Me = WTF?

Like a diarrhea-lover, I like my shit ecclectic. Still, I wonder...if I like this:



and this



or this



or even this



Is there something wrong with me? No.

And if there isn't, what is wrong with most of humanity for not jumping on the entire bandwagon of music? What is up with the musical chochottes that only seem to like a limited spectrum of music.

And don't get me started of some people I've spoken to who said they only like ''Franco'' music. Since when is language a music category? It's like saying my favourite type of achitecture is breakfast.

Like a man from St-Jerome once told me, "too much openness is worse than a closed mind."

I learned a lot from this man.

Particularly on why women are completely inferior to men, and why we should despise them.

He also tought me a lot on races, and how we should deal with them.

He enlightened me on the nature of homosexuality, and thanks to him, I now can protect myself from this vile disease.

Unfortunately one day he had to leave back to St-Jerome. I miss his great wisdom ever since.

Hey, if lyrics are important to you, then I can see how Franco can be a style of music. Obnoxitron, you told me you never listen to lyrics so you may not understand this. But I think that in some cases, you do pay attention to subject matter. For instance, do you like the Pum Pum song for the music or for its theme? 'cause if you like the song for its gyrating asses, you can openly say "J'aime la musique de fesses" which is just as relevant as saying you like Franco music.

To me, musical taste is a reaction to a combination of basic stimuli and subconscious associations. Even if we like the same song, it can be for entirely different reasons. So as a counterpoint, I dare say that if you like any kind of music simply because it is sound in a neatly organized pattern or because you enjoy doing pelvic thrusts, your relationship with music might be more instinctive than cognitive, which is really one end of the spectrum.

I'm not saying that this is your case, I'm just saying that aversion to certain styles of music identifies a person just as much as appreciation, and the reasons can be very personal and complex. Saying that you like all things musical does not exempt you from auditory shallowness.

I don't like all types of music. In fact, I only like one type of music; the type that is made with passion. You can just tell.

I was expecting a mean-spirited reply but nothing quite so crass (and cowardly). Is this You Tube?
