I'm with you, that's pretty much all I hear too. I've got a radio in my room but I just use it for an alarm anymore, since there's hardly ever anything good on to listen to. It's irritating that most everything has disintegrated into a bunch of fast words flopped down over a beat that repeats over and over again, and it's even more irritating that it's all that people my age (around here anyway) listen to and sing in class...if you call that singing. I'm not sure what you would call it. It seems like every time I hear a rap song, it's about women, drinking, drugs, guns, or something else that's really not anything anybody wants to hear about... I'm a musical person (or just a flat-out band geek), so I like all different kinds of music. Most of the time I like things other people in the school haven't ever heard of. My friends tend to get into the stuff I like though...I'll listen to some things that are around today, but I'd really rather listen to old stuff, or stuff that isn't mainstream. ...Probably sounds weird coming from a 17-year-old but whatever... :? As for TV and movies, that's my opinion too. I think that's why I'm so left out of things and confused so much. I only watch TV if there is absolutely nothing else to do. When I do, it's either a random cartoon, or a show like Law and Order, or Crossing Jordan, or whatever else there is, there's a billion of them...not what I'd pick, just what my mom puts on to watch. Also, reality TV is stupid. Yeah, that's all. It's just stupid. No need to elaborate there. -.- Whenever my friends talk about movies I'm left out too. "Have you seen this?" "No." "Have you seen that?" "No." "What have you seen?" And normally my answer is "Not much," because I know it's all predictable and unoriginal, or a weird, cut down and boring version of a book. As for the "funny" movies that come out, I don't even bother sparing it a second thought. To me, they don't look funny, they look stupid. That's weird for a person my age to say too, probably, but it's the truth...I feel so out of place here...hope it's not too bad... :anxious:
