i tink i have more substance than u tink. so there!

had one of the more irritating lunch-time conversations today.
some of them kept insisting/hinting that i wasnt mature enuf, that i've got no substance.
for the record, i DO NOT like britney spears or christina agulera or how-do-u-spell-her-name.
and i do not tink liking music by Simple Plan, Maroon5 or whoever equates to being not-grown-up or childish, thou i am not particularly inclined towards them either.
and who says u have to like music by tori amos or sarah mclachlan or whoever, to make u more mature?!
whoever said taste in music reflects how mature/immature one is?
i tot one is judged by more than such tings?
i tot one is judged by how he carries himself, by the frens he keep, the very manner in which he speaks, by the books he read.
so, liking a particular genre or music makes u a lesser being than a person who appreciates the "more accomplished" singers?
come on, tis sch of tot is so cliche.
move on already!
last time all the singers need to do is to stand there and sing. that was before tv was the norm.
now, its entertainment. u need to sing, u need to dance, u need to have the mass appeal, u need to have the x-factor.
different ppl look out for different things in life. same goes for music. music is an ART, products of human creativity. and who can set a gold standard and rank creativity? its very subjective, particular to a given person. there is no winning formula for it. the logic of 1+1=2 does not apply to Art all the time.
i tell u i like teresa teng, u mite tell me, oh gosh. u r so orbit and old-fashioned.
i tell u i like pop and u tell me, oh. so u like britney spears? with "that look" on ur face.
i defended myself and insisted i like The Eagles too. but after a while i tot, im being like, so fake! i like The Eagles true, but its only tat album and the songs inside. wat, a total of 12 songs and i decided i like them and can take them out to boast?
and admit it, some songs by Britney or N'sync or one of the bands/singers from that era are nice. if not, how do u tink they ever got famous? huh?
and i tink its jus a phase almost everyone has to go thru. so jus come out of it earlier than others. some dun even come out of that genre of music but who are we to say whats a "mature" sound or not?
wat, u tink all the smart, mature, level-headed people out there looks upon Britney or N'sync or whoever with disdain?
i duno man, but i doubt so.
a true smart, mature, level-headed person will jus be more open-minded and accept ur taste in music as uniquely u.
if a young person can like The Beatles, The Eagles etc etc, i dun see wats wrong with a slightly older individual liking "teeny-boppers".
as long as the music is fine, who the hell gives a damn?!

so there!
