Well as we all know today is Labor Day! So Happy Labor Day to you all, hope it wasn't filled with to much of it's name sake.

And now the real purpose of my blog....

Today I am here to talk about music snobs, we all know one, perhaps one or two of you are one. Don't worry, I was once one to, until I realized how utterly annoying they are. For all you of you un-enlightened out there, a music snob is someone who constantly berates any music they do not care for,constantly referring to it as "gay" or "retarded", they are a very close-minded annoy sort. Okay on to why I'm posting this. Just a couple of minutes ago I had a conversation with my younger sister, about Kelli Clarkson. I was downloading one of her songs and she totally went ballistic. It was so incredibly over the top, I wanted to laugh, but yeah I didn't. She kept going on and on about how annoying the song is and how annoying Kelli Clarkson is. When I asked if she knew Kelli Clarkson she replied " Duh Abby" and when I asked her she had ever listend to the song she just scowled. Hmmmm. Case in point. It annoys me to know end when people think they are above a certain type of music, or call a song stupid just because of the person who sings it. Or when someone judges a person just because of the music they choose to sing or listen to. IT IS SO CLOSE MINDED!!! I used to be like that and would make fun of all pop-esque music and look down on anyone who listened to it, but now I'm proud, I like what I like. I like the Smashing Pumpkins, I like to listen to Eminem, I like to listen to The Cure, I LOVE Ashlee Simpson, I think opera is cool and I can tolerate some forms of country, and guess what?! I proud of it!!! I like to belt out Hillary Duff at work, and when I'm in a bad mood I blare Muse, when I write I like to listen to Postal Service and when I feel like remembering I listen to Destiny's Child. People who are so little that they can't take a chance on anything new, are really sad. They think they are being renagades by rejecting the "status quo" of music. But what they are becoming is exactly what they claim to hate. I'm not saying you can't have your own opinion on music, by no means, but for goodness sake actually take time to LISTEN to music before you start to criticize it. And if you can't like it at least appreciate it. Music is like art. And I don't see anyone walking around heckling at the Mona Lisa. Heh, okay sorry just had to get that off my mind. Byee.
