My personal opinion of them two bands: One Direction and Big Time Rush.

I am just gonna get this out and get it out here. I apparently have saddened a friend, and even though I am blunt and everyone knows it... it makes me a bit sad everytime it happens

Well, not everyone has to like them ;) I just couldn't not like them. I started watching Big Time Rush - the show, and it was funny and different with (to me) cute boys and I was just instantly in love. Their music is the kind I used to listen to in my teenage years (huge Backstreet Boys fan, here ;D), so... yeah. It may not be the best or most original music but I like it.

I didn't want to get into One Direction either; it annoyed me too, when everyone suddenly started liking them and I didn't even know who they were or where they suddenly came from, but then I looked at a few of the slashy, cuddly gifs and I got interested and... yeah! The rest is history. *g*

But you seem to like different music in the first place and this boyband music is definitely not something everyone likes, so... yeah! It's understandable that some people are just not into it :)

[kseenaa]

It is fine to like them. IT IS! But sometimes, I feel pushed that I have to like them too because everyone else does. And that makes me feel both lonely and slightly uncomfortable, you know?

And yeah, my music-taste is not... there... *lol* That Tokio Hotel's music appealed to me is quite funny, when you think about it. But I believe it is because they have a raw nerve in their music, that is still there after all these years and all the changes they've gone through. :-)

I listen to old heavy rock, mostly. I love the new work Slash has done (just, guh!) and also the old music of Guns'N'Roses. I really really enjoy Mötley Crüe (and I fangirl over them on Twitter! They are NUTS them four old men!), I definitely enjoy Nickelback as well...

And... well, see? Old rocker-chick. *lol*

I need new tattoos... X-D

I didn't mean plague, as in it's a disease. It was just a saying to try and describe how quickly it has spread, you know? Wildfire would have worked to, I suppose. :-P

I am not saying they are bad. Bad people in anyway. Or that it is wrong to like them. It's just that sometimes I feel cornered. Like I HAVE to like them to! Pushed into it. And that makes me feel slightly uncomfortable at times. Not to mention lonely. :-P Like I can't say anything, because I get shoot down and is per automatic wrong. I am not sure if I get across what I mean, but I hope I do. :-P

I am using my scrolling finger quite a lot, and yes. I am using it to jump past this to. *nods*

You can't exactly help whose music and stuff you like or don't like, fall or don't fall for. Is someone actually faulting you over not jumping on the 1D and/or BTR bandwagon?

[kseenaa]

It has happened twice. No names will be given or times, just that it was a while ago. Wasn't fun. Not to mention the overall feeling that you can't say anything against them, because if you do you are per automatic wrong. I feel cornered and pushed into having to like them to. I don't think them boys are bad people in ANY WAY. It's just... the way it has spread... and the push for everyone to fall for them. :-/ You like Tokio Hotel, you should like these bands to. WHAT? They have nothing to do with one another, but that is the feeling I am getting right now. And that makes me uncomfortable. And lonely.

[rule_number_7]

The whole 'you like TH therefore you should like 1D and BTR' thing makes no sense. That's like saying if you like rock music you should like every rock band out there.

[kseenaa]

Indeed. Couldn't agree more. :-P That is the biggest part that annoy me, really.

Yeah, you've made yourself a social pariah now. You'll be filtered, ignored, and whatever else. It's just the nature of going against the grain. And I like your NKOTB comparison because I was exactly like that too. And with BSB.

But you've got more important things to do than all this, and that's far more exciting :D

[kseenaa]

I can live with being a social pariah. I've been called worse.

Yeah, it is quite easy to compare to NKOTB, isn't it? The fandom is VERY alike, I'd say. Even if we didn't have the internet back then. No, I wasn't a fan. But officially I was. Because if I wasn't, I would be bullied even worse at school, and I had a tough time off it anyway. So I pretended.

Not gonna pretend now though. I am to old for that. :-)

[hexenhasel]

I'll have you know that since we've been talking NKOTB, I've had "Step-By-Step, ooooh baybeeee..." stuck in my head.

It's...*scratches ears*

[kseenaa]

Oh crap! X-D So sorry about that!

[lilliephoenix]

thank you. hahaha. maybe i'm just too old for boy bands? i just don't see the appeal. plus, they're babies. at least all of TH has been legal for a few years. i don't like the poppy music either.

[thilia]

BTR are mostly the same age as the twins :)

[lilliephoenix]

yes, but they had a show on nickelodeon. i just can't see the perv appeal in something my 5y/o son watched.

[kseenaa]

o.O

I didn't think anyone would agree with me! *surprised*
