  1. MNM says:

    Hmm…

  2. sam says:

    actually, two of those should be switched. In my school, people HATE Hanah/Miley, Jonas Brothers, etc, (but I like them), and everyone else LOVES Metallica, KISS, Pink Floyd, Nirvana, etc.

    • Anita says:

      =O Best School Ever!

    • JD says:

      Same here. My school’s cool.

      But everyone still says they’ll listen to anything to anything but country. I like country.

      • Dan says:

        Country is very difficult to do with skill, and yet a lot of people try it. If the genre had more talent and less whiny, wannabe hicks, it might not be considered most peoples’ kryptonite.

        • Vortico says:

          Same with all genres, really.

        • zzackcc says:

          yeah, ALMOST the same with all genres. but country really must lack talent. its just watered down rock with crappy “patriotic” lyrics and some guy who cant sing 95% of the time.

        • Smarties says:

          My issue with country is that it doesn’t make me feel anything like I think music should, it just tells a story with musical words and most of the time it simply does not sound good.

    • Darth Yoda-Wan Windujinn says:

      Well, except for Pink Floyd, I don’t really like any of those…..

      BUT compared to the Jonas Brothers and Miley Cyrus……

      I WANT YOUR SCHOOL PLZ. xD

    • whitey138 says:

      so just generic “rock” in general? those are pretty much the bandwagons to jump on for high schoolers liking rock music.

    • winternets says:

      There’s some good stuff here, too. Nobody over 12 listens to Disney, and only a few listen to nothing but pop. Most listen to classic/modern rock, hardcore, or metal. There’s room for improvement, but it could be worse.

    • Metallichyk says:

      What an anomaly! Contragulations!

    • A guy says:

      That’s what my school is like too.

    • JohnnyDuck says:

      Where do you live?! I’m going.

  3. MK1K says:

    Almost everyone in my school hates Disney.

  4. Maiden! says:

    those outside circles dont even touch in real life :(
    also, you forgot “really whiney rap that is blasted out loudly through a tin can quality cell phone” -__- thats how it is at my school D:

  5. tbpid says:

    Too many people in my school like jo bros/hanna montana/disney crap. -________-

  6. superior says:

    wow, you all are just amazing human beings. God forbid I not care about “skill” and just listen to what makes me feel good.

    • Dan says:

      That’s not a bad philosophy. Unless what makes you feel good is a product of peer pressure and marketing campaigns, then you are a toolbag.

      • zzackcc says:

        which it is, so he’s a toolbag. superior is clearly just told by the industry that whatever he listens to makes him feel good, so he intelligently says “oh okay” and pumps his money into the pockets of people who dont deserve it.

    • InsertReferencehere says:

      Can’t same be said about coke and hookers? Or worse, kenny G?

  7. Gladiator763 says:

    I fall firmly in the little sliver of red within the massive sea of green. As could be expected, my music is not popular. Philip Glass is hated amongst my peers.

    • Stroudomatic says:

      Your peers are chumps.

    • Sam says:

      yeah me too, there arent very many other kids that listen to blink-182, paramore, marianas trench, rise against, and other good bands some people dont even know about. i think even fall out boy and nickelback is good sometimes, the’re the only bands that are super popular these days that are actually good. i also like the killers, and poison. people think im crazy because i also listen to country but theres nothing like diversity. in short; get used to it, some people never learn.

      • Amelia says:

        all the bands you listed are just corporate media rock… that should be on this graph.

      • ponyboy says:

        good bands?

        ok.

      • zzackcc says:

        you call those good bands? stop talking.

      • Gladiator763 says:

        I agree…I listen to Glass, rock, classical, jazz, metal, pop, religious, opera, minimalism, experimental, hip-hop, dance, indie, rap, disco, noise, electronic, marches, Americana, ambient, drone, lowercase, Zeuhl…I AM diversity in music.

      • Cool says:

        the only one I can agree on is Paramore, they are such an awesome band and great roll models for people. in my school everyone listens to Flo Rida Lil Wayn T-Pain, that kind of crap, oh well its better than Disney.

    • Sam says:

      which reminds me: #1 song in america; gives you hell, i kinda like it but after awhile it gets pretty annoying. what do you think of it?

      • tinybob says:

        I enjoy laughing at that song. For about 5 seconds. Then I go back to Offspring or Rancid.

      • winternets says:

        I hear a band trying to be hardcore. It’s catchy, and I prefer it to everything else on the radio, but given a choice, I like to keep my iPod nearby and paused on something by Light This City.

  8. Icanhascheezburgernewbie says:

    Almost 2 years later, the #1 song in my school still is Crank Dat.
    If I could put this in video or picture form, it would definetley go on Failblog.

    • Sarah says:

      When my boyfriend told me there was a song out there where the guy sings exclusively about “buyin you a draaaank” I ’bout died. Oh yeah, he’s DEFINITELY not in it for the money….pfff.

  9. mad@stereotypes says:

    Justa little annoyed. Anything that offends music makes me furious. There is no reason to act like its such a crime to like the artists anybody likes. People only like their music because they can relate. Music is the 8th wonder of the world, it is amazing and astonishing that humans can even produce something so profound- it doesnt matter who sings the song or what genre it is, music is our outlet, and no one has the right to make fun at anybodys music choices.

    • Sarah says:

      But opinions and beliefs are what make humans human, and if we aren’t allowed to express ourselves, music couldn’t exist.

      • Eric9999999 says:

        haha you are a tool

        • Sarah says:

          That’s so NICE of you to spend time replying to me! *pats your head*

          • Devylan says:

            Good job on practicing what you preach. I’m not being sarcastic here, btw, purely genuine. Instead of bashing this guy for ridiculing you for your difference of opinion, you turned the other cheek and walked away a better person. I applaud you.

            • InsertReferencehere says:

              I don’t, opinions have their limits. Just ask anyone of the opinion that black folk should be put into boxes and shipped over seas. Or that kenny G constitutes as music. And really, do you want to live in a world that Kenny G constitutes as music?

              • Devylan says:

                Point taken, but I was simply referring that this particular person on this particular post was indeed practicing what she preached before. Whether she does this all the time is to be seen. Whether her opinions are so extreme that she would deserve to be hog-tied and beaten is also to be seen.

    • mat says:

      I will gladly poke as much fun at anyone’s taste in corporate music because it’s music is now a product, not an outlet. So while music CAN be the 8th wonder, it is also just another product to sell. You see that huge thing of green? That’s product. You see that sliver of red? that’s the 8th wonder of the world.

      • Eric9999999 says:

        It makes me so happy, there are intelligent people on the internet. I had almost lost all hope

      • winternets says:

        No, the huge glob of red is the 8th wonder. It represents the people that are in it for the music and don’t care about record sales.

    • zzackcc says:

      people who say that like the overly produced garbage of the music industry. or are magically inclusive of all music. magically.

  10. Sarah says:

    When I was in school (dunno if it’s still like this) Everyone wore those fake vintage concert tour shirts for groups like AC/DC or The Beatles, etc. etc. They were just in it for the fashion, because if you ask them their favorite album, they’ll just be like “Uhhhh…..”

    • lc7926 says:

      It’s the same. One of my friends wore a Beatles shirt and I asked what their favorite album was, and they said, “Who?”
      Lame.

    • Sam says:

      not really in my school, there are a few blink-182 and rolling stones t-shirts around but the’re only worn by the kids who are actually fans

    • Maddy says:

      yeah, getting into the Beatles and other such bands is kind of a fashion thing now

      which bugs me because I’m a rock solid fan of the Beatles and pretending to like them or any band because you think it’s cool is stupid

      • JohnnyDuck says:

        I have a bunch of Beatles T-Shirts but I know what they mean. Just happy when I wore them my friends did too and we started singing :) I liked them since as long as I can remember.

  11. David says:

    Lack of understanding that music taste is subjective FAIL.

    Either that, or YOU’RE the one I’ve been looking for who gets to tell the rest of us what music is good and what isn’t, since we’re clearly incapable of doing it ourselves.

    • FMyVirgin says:

      Music taste might be subjective, but you fail to see the fact that he hasn’t remarked whether the music is good, just if it requires any talent or originality.

      Which it doesn’t.

      “Soulja boy should get shot woooah!”

  12. stephanie says:

    this graph is so not true!
    i dont like it…not at all…

    • penguin_man says:

      This graph is true, people in middle listen to Modern Generic Hip-Hop, Disney Music, and Original music that requires talent.

  13. nekorobo1138 says:

    I am SOOOOOO glad to not be in middle/high school anymore.

    • Devylan says:

      Hey, I would totally rock that sh*t, and I’m 27. But I always went against the grain in highschool.

      • Alex says:

        Now I feel annoyed to be a teen. I’m surrounded by dumb people in my school.

        • Devylan says:

          Don’t feel bad, dude. You’re gonna be surrounded by dumb people for the rest of your life. The trick is to find the really outstanding ones without whom you can’t live and ignore the morons. Take everything in stride. By the time I got to highschool I stopped caring what others thought of me, and guess what! I had tons of great friends!

    • zzackcc says:

      super colored stuff is awesome

    • yeahyeahwhatever says:

      i completely understand, im in high-school now and half those people should be shot as a precaution, i think of it as a quarenteen, a permanent quarenteen =]

  14. SpaceMan says:

    People want to listen to music that other people liked (to get fit in)

  15. Brinkley says:

    I laughed, even though this is nothing like my high school. Then again, my high school has never been normal. EVERYONE listens to country (except me. I can’t stand country), and then either listen to an addition of rap, the trifecta of Metallica, Iron Maiden, and Slipknot, or disney “rock” (no, indifferent, and NO) It’s a shame that no one in my school knows who The Rasmus are… I’m a huge fan! :D

    And if you happen to see the ad for the Jonas Brothers’ new album, is it just me or do they all have the same [awful] hairstyle?

    • Panthera says:

      Hah, same here on the country thing. Country and hip-hop are the things people here seem to be listening to…my friends and I are metalheads, though.
      The Disney crap is mostly big among those in middle school rather than high school. My sister is obsessed.
      What is it that’s so special about over-managed, overly-politically-correct, generic love songs?

    • winternets says:

      HELL YES. Someone who realizes how lame Slipknot is and knows about The Rasmus.

  16. Emma says:

    Sad, but true….

  17. Darth Yoda-Wan Windujinn says:

    Ugh. Sadly, this is very true, at least in my area. I’m the Star Wars geek who listens to U2, the Beatles, Beethoven, Peter Gabriel, Jane Siberry, Howard Jones, etc, in the midst of all the rap and hip-hop and Disney crap.

    So I can’t really decide if I like this graph or not…..XD On the one hand, it means there’s a kindred spirit out there somewhere, but it also means that this sad mess is the truth……

    o3o

    • tpfang56 says:

      Ha! I’m just like you. I’m the Star Wars geek who listens to classic rock bands like the Beatles(<333), Pink Floyd, the Who, Cream, Bob Dylan, etc when all of my friends plus a majority of my school listens to modern rock + pop + rap + hip/hop. Really annoying, but there are some kids with really good taste in my school as well.

    • zzackcc says:

      everyone you listed is either in the red or the sliver of green and red

  18. Eric9999999 says:

    I don’t know about all over the country like some of these comments are saying. But where I live, every kid listens to exactly the same thing. My sister and all her friends are obsessed with these bands. When i made this graph, it was 100% accurate and still is.

    • tinybob says:

      Its completely true. I stopped going to school dances cause the majority of songs were rap or hip hop about one of about 3 or 4 subjects. Meeting a girl/guy in a club. Heartbreak/redemtion between girl/boyfriend. Buying you a drink. And how the person made it big even though people were trying to hold him back.
      Then there are the times where a rap song comes on that uses a actual good song. I swear that at the few dances i’ve been to they have stolen crazy train, welcome to the jungle, and sweet home alabama.

    • zzackcc says:

      more or less you nailed it.

  19. Lexi says:

    Ugh. I know what you mean. nearly everyone in my school except me and my friends like this music.
    Personally, I don’t get it. all the popular music sounds the same to me

    • tinybob says:

      It is the same. I once heard my friends music from his headphones. I heard a drumline and fill and asked what song it was. He replied that it was by lil’ wayne. Later i heard the exact same beat and fill, so i said lil’ wayne again, and he said it was a different rapper.

  20. me says:

    And your proof for this comes from where?

    • tinybob says:

      How long do rappers stay around? Generally about a half a year per hit song. Of course there are the mainstays, and they show slightly more originality than the others, but rap is mainly one hit wonders whose songs become disliked in a year or two.

      • yeahyeahwhatever says:

        whereas most rock/metal/anyothergenre song is an original favorite that lasts through the generations! This is what I personally listen to along with some local talented bands.

  21. Dønnie says:

    That graph describes perfectly the school I went to.

  22. tytoon says:

    Agreed 100%

  23. ponyboy says:

    i agree with this graph
    but they forgot “annoying alternative bands” category

  24. zzackcc says:

    that tiny connective sliver is, im guessing, John Mayer.

  25. bbpopulardemand says:

    Eminem is the only one in between the two circles.

    • zzackcc says:

      that is an unbelievable amount of false. you sir, are fail.

    • Sinatra says:

      epic fail

    • Alex says:

      Dude. Eminem sucks.

      • InsertReferencehere says:

        Aw, don’t say that, my twelve year old niece loves Eminem.

        • bbpopulardemand says:

          hahahaha uh-oh. heaven forbid an artist transcend generations, they can only be good if they’re exclusive to a few 20-somethings, right? How many artists do you know who could leave while on top of the game, go spend 5 years battling a drug problem, and then come back afterwards to take their spot right back? Only the best. While the relapse may not be his most radical album lyrically, the aesthetics of his verses easily surpass those of the rest of the genre. I’ll take back the statement that he’s the *only* one in the circle, but to deny that he’s in there is an insult to the music industry.

  26. Kit says:

    At my school people listen to hip hop mostly I guess. Or “Alternative music” where the band actually has no talent but the members are attractive. I guess it gives them an excuse to wear converse and bash posers. Ugh. I really don’t care what kind of music people like as long as the person can actually SING, and not just about how another girl dumped them.

  27. Pingo T Best says:

    swap out that ‘Disney’ part and replace it with ‘Music about how much life sucks’.

  28. Deathbal101 says:

    At my school, there is little else people hate more than anything sponsored by Disney, though, unfortunately, we have quite a hiphop problem.

  29. Dan says:

    Here we have a good number of fans of real rock, from Beatles to Nirvana, but we still have a good amount of garbage that the rock fans hate

    And modern rock that some people like and some (like myself) mostly hate

  30. Topher says:

    I listen to what I like to listen to. If other people don’t like what I like, then… Well, who cares? There’s no reason to be so cynical about such a simple concept as music taste… If you like it then you like it, and if you don’t then you don’t.

  31. frzferdinand72 says:

    Why is it that many people older than 20 think all kids my age listen to garbage? And adding onto that, why do many people older than 20 care about what kids my age listen to?

    • jimmy says:

      Quoting Hank Hill, “Did you mean to put those words in that order, or did that garbage just spew out of your mouth?”

    • zzackcc says:

      because kids OUR age (however old you are, im sayin generation 12-20) DO listen to absolute garbage. 95% of music from the music industry, meaning mainstream music, is overproduced talentless garbage. ive been playing guitar for 5 years. i consider myself an average guitarist, good for how long ive been playing but i can see clear gaps in my playing. Im too good for the music industry these days. you have to suck.

  32. Artemis777 says:

    OMG that is so true… I wish there were more people at my school who liked the songs I like. This is my favorite graph except Ithink they forgot “crappy rap music with deranged lyrics no one can understand” For commenters below me, random poll: What’s your favorite song? Mine is House of the Rising Sun.

  33. papajon says:

    Ok! I get it now.

    I’ll say this: A good portion of “original” music ain’t so worthy. It just ain’t. I’ve heard it.

    So, maybe one should ignore which pop-star American Idol tells you to like, which rapper MTV tells you can get you the most hot girls and tricked out cribs and rides, and keep whatever High School Musical x+1 Disney tells is all the rage in their proper persepctive.

    Just a thought, but again, I am kinda a tool.

  34. Smarties says:

    This is how it is where I live.
    My favorite genres happen to be Classical with a bit of Jazz and Classic Rock(But not that much in comparison to the Classical) and most of my friends say I have horrible taste in music because I wont go to Fall out boy concerts with them.
    =/

    • Kortaka says:

      I totally understand… I’m an 80’s retro sorta geek, and I always get told that I have bad taste by people at school, and even my younger brother at home, who just happens to blast hip-hop through the house 24/7.

  35. Tyche says:

    Hilarious – the comments here cover the exact same ground as comments on music blogs all over the place. There are always, without fail, elitist commenters who must insult anyone who does not like what they like, commenters who proudly list their favorite “superior” artists, and a brave few who will actually admit to liking the mainstream stuff (they are almost always soon told they are stupid for it). I am always amused by the arguments that break out over taste in music, though they do get redundant very quickly.

    It is purely subjective – yet people get so riled up over it. I am fairly sure no one would give me a hard time for disliking, say, green beans. Yes, I know they are good for me and that some people think they are incredibly delicious, but I get a gag reflex when I try to eat them. Can’t be helped. And no amount of advertising or argument will make that gag reflex go away. People like what they like (or dislike what they dislike). Get over it and just enjoy what you like.

  36. Jess says:

    Hmm… For the most part, I agree with this graph. Overedited hip hop and rap do seem to be taking over the music industry; along with Disney crap. But to be totally honest, I don’t really mind alternative or obnoxiously fake metal. I have quite a few of those on my iPod along with a bunch of those talented “no name” bands. I like to have a bit of varied popularity. Also, much of the music in the industry now seems to have one or more focus in the actual music, such as vocals, drum, synth etc.. I don’t find that kind of music talentless; just not very rich. I’ve heard many bands that have amazing music, but the singer has a whiny voice or something like that. Talent can be really just opinion. There are a lot of things we don’t really look for in music. I tend to live on the stuff I can stand to the stuff I adore. This may make me “mainstream” or something, but it’s just how I feel.

  37. jimmy says:

    yup. I listen to the wide variety of music in the red. Alternative all the way to jazz. The only music I actually don’t listen to is the green and country. But when I said alternative, I meant old school alternative, eg. Sublime, STP. But you are completely right. I can’t believe the covers of some good songs could turn out so $#!%%). And the people who listen to it?!?! Look at what they did to “You spin me right round”. It wasn’t too great originally, but holy freakin’ crap! I could go on forever, but I’ll just end my rant now.

    • bbpopulardemand says:

      oh god yeah, for a second i thought music was going to commit suicide because of “right round.” That’s the epitome of generic, and my god, they like it. That song is the reason I don’t listen to radio anymore.

  38. Aguy says:

    Mainstream music = I like.
    explanation: Canadian. Mainstream to us is classic rock. Which is an awesome setup.
    Totally accurate of schools though (except the disney part, that’s come around in the last year or so, and being in the 9th grade at the time, my classmates got into rap [which is terrible]).
    Also, I don’t listen to classic rock because of Guitar Hero.

    • Korynn says:

      Agree @ the Guitar Hero bit. Everyone here frigging thinks they’re a music aficionado because they played through GH2 on hard, and then they bring their acoustics to school and play the thirty seconds of the intro to every song in the game. GARGH

      /rant

  39. Sussy says:

    Ludo. The Broken Bride EP.
    That is original music.
    Coheed and Cambria. Shiny Toy Guns. Explosions in the Sky. The Spill Canvas.
    And hundreds of others that are still recent artists that are good… I don’t see why people have such a strong hatred of certain types of music.

  40. Zep says:

    Oh! I dont want to brag but Im in that tiny section of kids who like original and talented music!
    Rap and disney can kiss my ass!

  41. Purple says:

    Jeez, if I see anymore of these music fanboy graphs, I’m gonna puke.

    Listen to whatever the f*** you want, if you like it, thats what you should listen to. I don’t give a f*** whether they are in it for the music or the money, and no one should be so pretentious to think any different.

    This graph was made by a pretentious douchebag who thinks so highly of himself based solely on the music he/she listens to.

    Get over yourself and learn to understand other people. Live and let live.

    • FMyVirgin says:

      Right, dumbarse.

      He hasn’t given -any- indication of what kind of music he likes, in fact he has only commented that the most commonly popular music is generic rap and pop-rock.

      And you’re hypocritical beyond comparison y’know, telling him to stop being who he is, and just let him be that.

      Seriously, why can’t people see that not everything is fine and dandy, but some things are dumb.

      Imbecile.

    • 0oo0oo0oo0oo0ooo says:

      “This graph was made by a pretentious douchebag who thinks so highly of himself based solely on the music he/she listens to.”

      Based on the comments he left around here, I have to agree with you.

  42. YAH says:

    Hey everyone! I have to say, great job on the retarded flame wars! Keep it up!

  43. Cyrill says:

    thats actually very true

  44. Max Chaplin says:

    In my school, the green area was mostly Psy-Trance and Power Metal, and everyone kept pretending it’s underground and sophisticated. Tools.
    If that not enough, the intersection between red and green was old generic classic rock. You know what’s worse than a school DJ that plays the same 3 bad songs over and over? Someone who does it with GREAT songs. Once I loved “Smells Like Teen Spirit”, but since school I can’t listen to it. “Shine On You Crazy Diamond” suffered too, albeit less.

  45. BlueDude says:

    Hip hop sucks.
    Jonas Brothers should get run over by a parade of tractors.
    Miley Cyrus should go die in the corner.
    End of story ;)
    If only anyone listened to the good stuff anymore: Metallica, GnR, Bon Jovi, and more.
    By the way.
    I’m 12. No one even knows who Metallica is besides my best friend and my teachers.

    • zzackcc says:

      congrats. but metallica blows

    • mfb412 says:

      iron maiden, ever heard of em? yeah… metallica only have 4 good albums, their 4 first and perhaps S&M and death magnetic, Iron Maiden have had over 20 amazing ones over the course of these last 24 years… metallica suck donkey balls compared to them, not to mention John Petrucci from dream theater is better than james and kirk combined (he can play any double guitar metallica song alone)

      • jimmy says:

        agreed. Iron Maiden rules. And yet they never seem to age. I went to Somewhere Back in Time, and they sound the same as they did twenty years ago. maybe they’re immortal?

      • yeahyeahwhatever says:

        Dream Theatre kicks @$$ =D

    • Max Chaplin says:

      Glam Metal is the Disney Rock of the 80’s. Same glamorized kitsch.

  46. Claire says:

    I disagree. I am in high school and i absolutely hate the crap disney dishes out. hip hop is okay, but i’m more into rock. I like old music as well.

  47. mfb412 says:

    well actually, in my country, metalheads rule the schools, sure, there are the oblivious gangstas who roll around with their phones blasting wither crappy hip hop or crappy house music… they always turn it down when the folks in darker clothes walk by, we may be outnumbered, but believe me, no one EVER messes with metalheads, ever

    This is so true. Also, MFB, I wish it were like that at my school, too many wiggers here.

  49. AlgidAudist says:

    90% of my former school in Germany are listening to mainstream, but divided into kinda groups. Some listen to Hardstyle/Jumpstyle/Commercial House (always the same ‘Boom Boom’ and horrible covers of either good songs), HipHop (yes, SouljaTwat and FloRida also stepped in here), Emocore (i still don’t know how you can show yourself like that) and general charts (Lady Gaga making my ears bleed via pebble-quality cellphones). Horrible! Only a few people i know listen to good quality metal, including myself.

    My favourites are Underworld, Björk (<3), Iced Earth, Megadeth, The Prodigy, etc. All the stuff that only a little few at school would ever get a finger on.

    In my school it’s either you listen to (c)rap music or you try to impress everyone else with how ‘original’ and ‘unaffected’ you are by claiming to listen to/wearing t-shirts emblazoned with Led Zeppelin and other miscellaneous rock bands from the 60s-80s. Bonus: If you’re a stoner, you listen to Nirvana, too.

    I hate people.

    (Oh wait–and if you’re a band/chorus/drama kid you listen to showtunes. Yay showtunes.)

      that’s a flat out lie, I’m a theater/choir kid and i listen of Bullet for My valentine, My chemical Romance, bunch of other stuff.

      *at my school, the dumb blonds (69% of the school) still listen to the Disney crap*

      most of the kids in my marching band listen to screaming death metal…

  51. mcjenkins says:

    hey old rap is good

    • sitruC says:

      Thats because old rap had a purpose and was original.
      Nowadays its all the same.
      It’s easy to defend California Love, but you can’t really defend “Ah skeet skeet motha F*cka’.”
      And all rap/hip hip is nowadays is the same beats reused over and over either speed up or slowed down, or just a complete rip off of an older song.
      What happened to music having actual meaning?
      No one cares about who/what you banged and how you did it.
      Or about how your sorry for beating your girlfriend… again…

      I personally prefer acoustic music like City and Colour (yes, its spelled like that intentionally) because its usually written with a purpose. And then i like alternative rock or straight up rock like Coheed and Cambria (theres a comic behind just about every song) or Relient K (they’re songs have really powerful meaning, even if you aren’t religious. go look up “Must Have Done Something Right” or “Which to Bury, Us or the Hatchet”). Give me a Rap/Hiphop song written in the past two years that doesn’t involve sex, drugs, alcohol, the police, or making it big and you have won the fight.
      Oh, and it has to be something on the radio, not some random song written by some guy living in his basement.

    I’m really tired of “modern popular music sucks” graphs. It’s not funny when it is obvious.

  53. techboy_88 says:

    disney sucks. music is being ruined by disney. seriously.

  54. Julie says:

    I don’t like hip hop or Disney. In fact I have to constantly strive to surround myself with original and well… good music, because all my friends listen to that crap.

  55. ray says:

    In my school there are a couple dozen people who are completly obsessed with Disney crap, the rest listens to anything that’s popular for the moment.
    I know two “metal poseurs”, one of them quickly switched to house music after a couple of weeks of listening to Maiden, and another one who’s stuck on the SAME Manowar song. (Oh, plus, he doesn’t even pronounce “manowar” correctly…)

    As for the graph, Kudos.

  56. Cecilia says:

    My friends all like different bands. I like Radiohead, my friend Clare likes Green Day, and my friend Samantha likes Coldplay. We all argue on which band is the best.

  57. yeahyeahwhatever says:

    no, no, no…
    Thank god for MP3 players and heavy metal, i have a zune! ;D

  58. Music Luvver ♥ says:

    My school is very diverse. There are the people who have some musical taste (i.e. those who don’t worship the Jonas Brothers, Miley/Hannah, Demi Lovato, etc. and who also don’t like rap and country). I live in Hickville so that means roughly 60% of our school is country-loving. 15% can’t live without bursting into Stick to The Status Quo during lunch which leaves the smarties who like Linkin Park, Green Day, A Day to Remember, Disturbed, Nirvana, Aerosmith and so on. I’m happy to say I’m one of that 25%!! (:

  59. Sgt.Pickles says:

    So this is what most people listen to?
    I am rather young, but my musical tastes veer me towards Classical music, Jazz, Motown, Disco and Funk.
    But then again, my family always was old-fashioned.

  60. RayneJade says:

    i am incredibly fond of how the maker of this graph was sure to use quotations when mentioning Disney’s idea of “rock”. this graph is a win on so many levels!

  61. Squillbert says:

    my school is still sane,thankfully.
    but previous schools…
    nvm.

  62. nobody says:

    this is the truest thing that i have ever seen
