You know what’s really dumb?

When your social studies teacher offers extra credit to anyone who can stump him with a question about ANYTHING and your classmates ask him questions about social studies while you are the only person with the decency to ask a question about something he would have no clue about…
-.-
My classmates are retards

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.

i wouldnt say all rap is bad that’s just generalizing. i think eminem is really good and there are a few other decent artists out there but there are is a lot of bad rap music.

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!

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

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.

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%!! (:

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.

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.

I love DMB! I’m 16 and grew up with them, and I think their music is incredible.

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.

Yeah most teenagers hate Disney music, especially the Jonas Brothers.

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?

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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.)

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.

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

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)

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

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!
