on music and social standpoints.

Okay, so I was listening to some music that resurfaced on my computer a minute ago, and I was nodding along to it, thinking 'okay, this is kinda sweet, who is this?'

So I get up and poke my head around the door of my room.


It was Good Charlotte.

Yeah, I know.


So this got me thinking. I've always staunchly said that 'I like what I like, pretty much.' Now I'm thinking that's restricting me. Sure, I'll be open-minded to anything I've not heard before (for example, that A Capella group Martin's always raving about, who I decided were awful), but I do tend to typecast stuff. It's usually someone with a quasi-agenda.

I mean, I used to oppose Avril Lavigne with a passion. She just epitomised that particular brand of poser-punk. Now? Well, meh, I'll mouth along if it comes on the radio.
Oasis, again - passable music, stupid, stupid actions behind it. And yet, I'm finding myself quite attracted to their music that I hear thumping out of Craig's room.
Green Day I was never fond of. Their newest album is probably one of my most played.
And the Darkness... I Believe In A Thing Called Love just destroyed any respect I had had for them beforehand. But then I re-listen to tracks like Growing On Me and I realsie what made them so damned good in the first place.

And now we've come full circle, back to the poser-punk stylings of Good Charlotte. Music should really be about the message behind it, and they're not REALLY giving out the right message. But they still manage to make some good tunes, somehow.

I don't quite know how this fits into my twisted world view. I'll let you kno how it turns out.
