It's interesting this has come up actually. I was talking to my fiancée about music taste the other day.
What is it about music taste that people take so personally? This song is a great example because it is constantly voted as being terrible by the "cool" people but it's a pop song - pop obviously being short for popular - which means that more people like it than are probably willing to admit. If someone were to say they like it, most people would jump on them and either attack them personally or attack their music choice in a way that is obviously meant to be taken offensively. I've copped my fair share (tell a "real" musician you're into bands like Slipknot and prepare for the barrage of "They're not musicians" comments) and I'm guilty of doing it myself although I try not to any more because it just seems like nonsense. So what is it that makes people act like this? I am honestly curious because if I told someone I like a certain kind of food or that I prefer Coke over Pepsi I don't have to fear this type of attack.
Anyway that's just Sax's thought for the day. Feel free to reply and enlighten me or if you like I can start a new one so as not to derail your Rebecca Black bashing...
