If you're good enough then you will shine through just as those that you named did.
Yet !
I will repeat that if someone get's pleasure from something then it is validated and because you dislike it just means it's not to your taste it doesn't mean it's worthless.
If it sells then someone likes it.


I have owned many motorcycles and used to look down on anyone who rode mopeds , I lived in Holland where mopeds are everywhere .
One day I borrowed one to accompany some friends as the road we would be using was restricted to cycles and bromfietsen (the Dutch name for mopeds) , I couldn't believe how much fun I had been missing.

(A moped is any motorcycle with a less than 50cc engine)
Yes, I did mention some very successful artists. It is very few and far between now a days where artists with actual talent become so successful. People have become very easy to entertain. Take Paris Hilton for example. She didn't do a damn thing to deserve her fame, yet would you consider her just as talented as anyone else? Shit, I can't even compare her to anyone, because getting fame out of nothing can never be because of talent. Unless you consider being a snobby brat talent?

I don't really see where you are going with the moped comment. It mostly shows how you didn't really understand them because you were so stuck on your "superior" motorcycle. I have two motorcycles, yet I've never looked down on someone that owns a moped. It's a very practical form of transportation. Who am I to judge them just because they don't feel that they should spend the extra money for more power and performance? It's not like they bought it as a status symbol like a lot of kids do when they buy sport bikes or harleys or whatever is the in thing at the time.

So at christmas time or your birthday, would you open a present to find cheesy sweater from K-mart and say it's just as good as any other present you received just because someone wrapped it in fancy paper? Or would you say that you enjoyed a present that someone spent the time on figuring you out, so they could pick the exact thing that would bring a smile to your face when you found what was inside?

I'm not saying you're a bad person for liking the music that you like. Just don't go on saying how all music is equal just because it entertains people. It's what is behind the music that differentiates whether it is actually good or not. I simply prefer music that educates the mind instead of wastes my time.
JaySin Reviewed by JaySin on . How subjective is music, really? People always say everything's a matter of taste, and that's true for what people should listen to/read, etc....as far as actual quality, though, you can't really say it doesn't matter if you prefer Shakespeare or Danielle Steele. Same as music, I think...can everyone's tastes really be respected if some prefer MTV trash to the works of, say, Hendrix or Bob Dylan? Just a thought. Rating: 5
