I was sitting in our college's café which was full of people and i managed to get a four seater table to myself (top result). I was quite happily listening to Sigur Rós' Untitled 1( first track from the () album) and then the college radio came on and boomed out Jennifer Lopez (or J-Lo as her friends from 'tha block' call her) "Waiting for tonight"
It was horrible. Is it natural for me to dislike stuff like this intensely, or am i just bitter and a music snob?
Here is a picture of a poll suggested by my friend Carl, the college thought it was a good idea:

It's perfectly natural for someone to express their opinions about music. Not everyone can like mainstream music and possibly a few people who claim to don't. I too hate J. Lo.

I think repulsive is a bit strong... I'm sure you've seen some really repulsive women in your time. If not, go to some areas in Bristol.
She doesn't attract me tho.

I wholeheartedly agree. She seems like a megalomaniac, self-adulating, gucci fur coat wearing, fat arsed latino-cleaner bint. And those kind of women I find repulsive too.
She is a shallow cow!

I have the same problem, I really hope people don't think that I am being all snobby and stuff because it's not like that. If there was a song I liked and it was mainstream it wouldn't bother me, but as it stands I do not enjoy any music that becomes mainstream, except for a few exceptions of course.

Her shitty attitude is what gets my back up more than anything else, but I don't find her physically attractive either.
I remember feeling largely indifferent to her till I saw her in an interview intersected with clips of the set of a video she was doing where she was arguing with the director, quite passionately. Not over some moral principle of what he wanted her to do in the video or anything like that, but regarding where the cameras should be! That someone as vaccuous as that thinks they know more about filmmaking than a hired director makes me seeth.

everyone has their own opinions and tastes, yours just happens NOT to be anything mainstream. it's the same with me, almost.

if you dislike it simply because it's popular, then you are a snob (sorry, but its true)..
if you dislike it because its not good music (which is usually the case) or not to your taste.. then be my guest+hate away!
on the other hand, just think how boring it would be if everybody listened to the same kind of music (ie. the same music as you)..?

I don't like it because it is mainstream. I don't like it because it is pants. Although mainstream has a habit of pulling out the stops and producing something quite impressive.
I'm quite the fan on the new Britney song (Toxic), and i totally agree that it would be boring.

well, my experience is that usually anything mainstream is shit music........look at the charts - britney, jennifer lopez (sorry, but that's her name, not J-Lo, i refuse to call her that!) and other miscellaneous pap
don't foget that the charts are either 1)fixed by record labels, or 2)chosen by 12 year olds' choices of music, and i'm sorry but I don't know many 12 year olds who are into decent music......most of them are into shit like above mentioned pap queens and kings (justin timbershit) and they mostly listen to stuff like that because everyone else is and it's deemed "cool"

dont get me wrong. im not defending shit music. all im saying is : it ain't the fact that it chart's highly that makes it shit.. its the fact that it's shit music.
on occasion, decent records sell a lot of copies. this doesnt immediately make them shit. if theyre good songs, theyre still good.. no matter how many units are sold.
youre right about the charts being heavily weighted in certain "artists" favour though. good news on that subject though. when non-specialist stores stock singles, they only stock whats already in the top 40 + what's most aggressively marketed. this creates a self-perpetuating loop, leaving it virtually impossible for non-top 40 artists to break into the chart. the sooner supermarkets and highstreet stores stop stocking singles + force record buyers to buy from dedicated music shops, the (marginally) greater chance there is of them being able to discover the hundreds of singles released every week that dont make it into the charts + arent given heavy rotation on national/commecial radio.

oh, and there are plenty of electronica fans who are equally as guilty as the people that buy "mainstream" records of listening to certain records because it's the "cool" thing to do.
only in their case, its cool NOT to listen to "popular music"..
..im not accusing you of this by the way.

lol, yeah i know exactly what you mean
you're totally right about the self-perpetuation effect that is happening
i don't listen to music because i think it's cool, i listen to certain music for 2 main reasons:
1) that i actually, genuinely honestly truthfully like it
2) that i can tell there has been a LOT of skill, technique, complexity involved. both musically and technically.
i never listen to music because someone deems it "cool" or the "in" thing to be listening to.
i know you weren't accusing me, no offense taken or anything
i totally understood what you meant :)

i suppose i call him whatever seems to be the most appropriate name for the exact moment when i refer to him
