q: why did i always find it hard to give fall out boy a try?
q: why did i always refuse to watch naruto?
a: because everyone was into it!
at the time, i didn't know why exactly i was particularly disinterested and resistive to these things. i just felt like i didn't wanna.
that was a few years ago. in hindsight, it's
so obvious!
i have an indie complex! :OOOOO
now, i've actually only very recently heard about this definition of indie, and the "indie complex" itself, specifically, at memorial day retreat.
to me, indie was simply a description of bands and their music, based off of how well-known it was. i didn't know about the indie groups and magazines and their beliefs etc etc, and i still don't.
story: i started listening to owl city and developing a real taste and affection for their music around last spring. i went to see owl city in september of last year, just around the time "fireflies" started populating the radio stations, before they got big. it was AWESOME. i totally dug(?) their ocean eyes album, as well, which i got shortly after that.
but once they started getting more popular, i starting finding it "weird" (personally) to mention owl city as one of my favorite artists. moreover, it even felt weird to listen to owl city on my own time.
money question: why?
random thoughts:
it doesn't seem special anymore, that i like it.
if i say i like it, i'm just another one of the mainstream population.
does that mean i don't want other people to like the music i like? certainly not! quite the contrary, actually, i love sharing music i like with other people!
and here is where.. i don't know anymore. (this is far from a conclusive entry.)
i'm really interested in the psychology behind this whole indie thing.
i'm also interested in if this is a common thing for people to feel.
do any of you share similar feelings? is this something that people easily recognize about themselves?
-why don't some people use question marks when they talk online? is it a personal decision? is it out of laziness?
-i always wear boxers under swim trunks.
-swim trunks = board shorts?
-i think my music player is broken. oh well. fix it some other time.
-mcd's fries > bk fries. 7-4. win. take that, dan! :P
