A Different Tune

It has come to my attention that everyone is a music snob. The thing is, people are just snobbish about different music. Many of my college friends don't realize I'm a music snob because the type of music I'm snobby about doesn't come up in conversation too frequently. I don't know why I never realized this before.

I found a friend who was into the same type of music I listened to in high school, the same bands and everything. We spent forever talking about the bands and the music and listening to the music. I haven't thought about music like that in a long time. Most of the people I hang out with now are into rap (which I don't have any type of expertise or snobbery about) or classic rock (which I'm only snobby about a couple bands, otherwise I just like most of it). After listening to friends argue last night about some artists that I was familiar with, but definitely not a fan of, I came to this revelation. I still find it funny how much music impacts lives.

Currently listening to: Gym Class Heroes - As Cruel As School Children
