something I find incredulously pointless in these topics is how you (yes YOU) feel obligated to "introduce" us to "your" music.

The reason why you want us to listen to these artists escapes me. If you enjoy their music, fine ... don't force it on us. Its condescending and hypocritical.

Because face it .... when these "underground" artists become popular .... you'll begin to hate them. Its only good to you because you feel that you're the only one in the world to know who they are and even if they are just mediocre, you say to yourself "Well ... no one knows who they are ... so I'll just say that they're amazing and look cool".

You feel that you're superior to everyone and use the names of these artists as a sort of credit card that you quickly show everyone to show how "sophisticated" your tastes are. Instead you should be listening for the art of it.

This doesn't only apply to you "hip-hop" hipsters .... but to you emo fans. Good music is good music ... if its popular and its good music ... then its good (despite what you might think)
