Current Pet Peeve

[MariaM]

I don't really see why people get worked up over trends. I dont see how it's a big deal that there are John Deere things.

It's hard to explain. It's like, if I owned a John Deere shirt right now, I wouldn't wear it until the fad was over. If I did wear it, say, to some huge city, and someone I didn't know said "Cool shirt!" I would be disgusted. If it wasn't 'in', and never WAS 'in', and somebody said "Cool shirt!" I'd be like "Thanks!"

I guess I just love that I have a taste for what is not "in", and will probably (hopefully), never BE "in". It's not that I go and say "Oh, this is SO not popular, I'm going to buy it and start liking it". It's just that the things I DO like are usually not popular.

It's the same thing with music. I just LOVE bands that aren't well known. It's not that I like them BECAUSE they aren't well known, but I do enjoy the fact that they aren't known. Then they become popular, and it SUCKS, because I've liked them WAY before. In example, Fallout Boy. I've liked them for a long time, but it seems to me they've just become popular recently..
I guess it's a little selfish - because its good for the band. But that's just an example I suppose.
I try not to let it bother me too much, but I guess its mostly just the ignorance of some people. I'm not saying all people who like to wear popular clothes are ignorant. Sometimes they really are nice clothes! It's just those that will see somebody wearing a skirt, for example, and think "that is SO hideous". Then they see it in a magazine, and they think "Hmmm". They they see some celebrity wearing it and they think "Hmmm!!". Next thing you know they one own. THOSE are the people that bother me.

I guess its the main thing is, why can't people be themselves?

Eh, I see where your coming from but still

I love Greenday, I love their old stuff. It doesn't bother me that everyone is obsessed with American Idiot.

In a way, when people are trying to be "different" and stick out they are just acting like the other 20 billion people that think the same way.

:P:P Good point, but I'm not trying to be different. I just AM different. Well, maybe not a WHOLE lot physically and stuff. I am mentally though, very different. Anyway, I guess this is getting kind of sidetracked.

I don't mind people likeing American Idiot. It's awsome. I just hate when they call themselves fans but don't even know how long they've been around and I hate being criticized for likeing their old stuff.
Another fad example is those sparkley purses. My mom sold them at her shop and no one had ever seen them. I was thinking about getting one just because I liked them and I figured that no one else had them so it would be different. The next week, EVERYONE had them. Now, you can't see a single person without one. Now, I hate those things because EVERYONE has them. They get way too boreing!
