This irritates the shit out of me

It's a playlist for Meyer's book from Edward's perspective, I guess, Midnight Sun. Now, look. Here are a few songs she says go along with this book: Monsters - Matchbook Romance, Animal I Have Become - Three Days Grace, Hit the Floor - Linkin Park, Glycerine - Bush, Map of the Problematique - Muse, Paper Thin Hymn - Anberlin, Pts.OF.Athrty - Linkin Park, and Hemorrhage - Fuel, among others.

This upsets me. Doesn't this upset you? That such awesome songs are being used in such foul ways and getting a reputation as having aatually inspired the low-level self-insert stereotypical poorly-written fanfic that's getting published thanks to one editor's insight into the minds of deluded imaginative teenage girls? We all know that the Twilight series is only good if you pretend you're Bella and get with Edward, and fine. I cna deal with that. But wtf does that have to do with the songs Meyer's saying are her inspiration? I mean, hello? Monsters doesn't work for anybody, nor does Animal I Have Become, nor does Hit the Floor. Glycerine doesn't even remotely work for any romantic pairing in that series... I have to stop. I'm getting a headache. DX
