i remember being like 12 and "semi-charmed life" was THE song.mike stern wrote:third eye blind
so happy and upbeat, my mom loved it, it was like our family song, we'd play the cd in the car on road trips
only years later did i realize how fucked that song is, about doing drugs and depression?
sorry mom, childhood memories are forever tainted by singing along to a song about meth

Like I can't see myself alone in my car or in my apartment listening to anything and imagining someone there with me and feeling the need to deny liking it for fear of shame. And I listen to a lot of stuff I assume most people on here would find shameful. Mostly dance music (especially freestyle and Italodisco), late 70s through mid 80s pop/rock, new jack swing, and so on and so forth.
The shame doesn't necessarily come out of liking it, but the people you're around that might not share your ability to like the same thing...Goatsego wrote:I'm ashamed to admit I listen to screamo, because most people just assume that screamo is bands like greeley estates.
Yup.
to Pete's point, he might not be ashamed of liking dance music, but this social group is probably not going to dig it.
i don't listen to my screamo music with my friends who don't "get it", i'd feel uncomfortable because they wouldn't like it and we'd just listen to something else.
