“Oh, I can’t possibly like that! It’s way too mainstream”

I am so sick of people going on about how they hate stuff that;’s popular, simply because it is popular. The fact is, if bands like Girls Aloud and The Saturdays were not so popular, a lot of the people that currently say they hate them, would say they are great. This just makes all of these people seem pathetic. I’m sick of people saying they hate things and then secretly liking them. If you like something, then you like it. Who cares what other people think? In saying that you hate it and then listening to it when no one else is watching, you become pathetic losers who are more concerned with public image than in being a genuine person. And then, you have the cheek to go on about the popular bands being FAKE!! Have you taken a look in the mirror?! Fact is, things that are popular, are in the charts because PEOPLE LIKE THEM and are buying them!! And anyone that tries to say that people are manipulated into liking them are being disrespectful to the general public in thinking that they are so much better because they’ve ‘seen through it’. I like chart music. I like non-chart music. If I like a song, I like it. It doesn’t matter to me who sang it, wrote it, or whether it’s popular. And anyone that makes a decision based on whether something is mainstream is just as lame and shallow as the bands they believe actually are lame and shallow!
