I don't get people:
Who claim to listen to "good" music, or who are passionate about music, or who dress hipster-like, wear all the glasses and stupid boots and crap,
but don't discriminate amongst what is obviously poor music and what is better music. I know it's all about opinions and that people can say what I think is crap is actually good, but people listening to intelligent well-made music then go and listen to what is absolute crap - for example listening to some of my favourite bands but then diluting it by listening to shit like Paramore or Taking Back Sunday.
You're either a music fan that thinks intelligently, or you're an indiscriminating douchebag that doesn't know what you like, or really have any opinions, and I will never value said opinions at all.
Don't listen for image, listen for enjoyment.
