just the mere fact that we listen to an "underground" music... isnt it kind of elitist?
i mean... alot of people have said, they like it not being known...
dunno

i guess to a lot of people...the fact that this music isnt very well known is part of what makes it special...
some people are self inflicted outsiders...who want nothing to do with the rest of the flock...which means they avoid (either by choice or chance) things that the 'flock' latches onto
kinda like being in an exclusive club...would it be worth being part of a club...if *everyone* was a member?
i think being independent from the flock is a good thing...since often when people are 'different' from the majority...it is because they are being themselves...but then sometimes when people want to be seen as 'different' but still have the same mentality of those who are part of the 'herd' they just latch on to a different herd and adopt a persona which isnt necissarily their own but is different from that of the main group...
and this is where eliteism becomes lame...when people attach themselves to an underground scene for the sole reason of appearing outside of the mainstream...

I think I avoided it first my chance, then when I realized that I liked everything that the "norm" didnt like, i said fuck you guys, i got my own shit that I like and your shit sucks, so ha!

I used to be pretty elitist about music but I realized that music is music no matter what the source. If I like Eminem, I will listen to his music. I don't care that he sells millions of records; it's a personal choice for me.
But then again I'm often on this board finding about new electronic artists and on another board finding out about little known metal bands.
So basically, I don't like to discriminate against a band/artist just because the artist is popular or not.

"you laugh at me because I'm different, I laugh because you're all the same"... what a great quote.
New things are discovered when prevailing ways/theories aren't simple accepted unless they truly seem the most logical way/theory to you.
I guess I feel the flock is misdirected, the flock of humans anyway. But I'm one of them which is rather eerie.
