Music

I have just suffered a wave of frustration after reading a blog a few minutes ago. So here is what i need to share with you all. It frustrates me to death to hear people say that anyone who likes something popular, is not being individual. That is the most ridiculous thing i have ever heard and if you aren't strong enough to go with the flow as well as against it then you have no right to deem the number one hit of the week or the cute new ballet flats that people like as stupid and unorigional. This goes in various categories, but the most prominent is music.

Yes there are songs that every girl loves each week, there are fads and crazes all the time. So why should that frustrate you? People are so insecure about who they are that they feel the need to go against what everyone else does just to maintain an image. If you like it, love it and embrace it. Don't ignore it simply because it is popular. And don't you dare put others down for liking it. It is rude and very,very insensitive. You claim to only enjoy the 80's or you only like punk music then so be it, but don't strip the hip-hop or pop singers of their talents because everyone has talent, no matter in what way, shape or form. You are not superior to the girl that loves the latest hit, so don't look down upon her.

Open your eyes. Ofcourse we are all naturally going to swing to one side or the other, but at least accept and appreciate other people's interests. We are all guilty of it and all i want is to make you aware of it, and if you do it, then perhaps today is the day that you can change. Become more accepting, realise that different genres are simply different ways of expressing yourself, neither is more superior, it is simply that you enjoy one more than the other.
