" layers ; 7:08 PM "
whats up with the mainstream thing . and the non-mainstream thing. like if you're part of the mainstream, you're just this person who has no ideality or creativity. and if you're part of the NON-mainstream, which is listening to indie music, you're classified either someone with no musical taste or differen t, or too much creativity .
i don't think the type of music you listen to should mould who you are as a person . yeah sure, your taste of music may be different. maybe you don't go around listening to the likes of NSYNC or britney spears everyday, maybe you prefer something more edgier, something different from the likes of britney. but i really don't see how that makes you a different individual.
being different and listening to different MUSIC are two different things . music is just one aspect of your life. being different or standing out from the crowd is not something you have to try to be. it's in-born, it's natural. if you try to be different, isn't that trying to be someone you're not ? if you're being yourself and you like lets say ... NSYNC, who cares?! you're yourself . if you're really ashamed of liking what you like and succumb to what you think is cooler, what are you ? i can't even begin to explain .
ahaha, i know this post may not make sense. but i just dont understand why we, as humans, need an altar ego - where you lie about what you are, hiding the real pigment . i'm not saying i don't have it, like i'm not ever ashamed of everything that i am sometimes . but it's like, there's always a limit, for everything , if not most things . when we do this, this hallucination-building, we take away what's real.
and who knows ? maybe sometimes, being who you are, even if it's a scumbag loser, maybe so much better than what you make out yourself to be .
