I'm just going to assume that none of them even knew who Drive Like Jehu or Shellac were or else I'd diss and dismiss them. Even if they had I'd visibly sneer at them. So basically they're not your friends anymore right?

seriously though i have like two friends who i can actually talk music to without getting angry. it's like a prerequisite around here that if you want to like good music you also need to be annoying and snobby. so rather than be friends with other annoying snobs, i just choose to be the lone annoying snob.

I mean I love Eminem and his lyrics, but I still understand that they're good for fun's sake and not because they're accomplished, and I'm a lyrical dunce. I don't even know if he's better on a subtler, technical level, but I still know that he's mostly good for his nonsense than he is for his brilliance. At the very least I'd refrain from putting forth an opinion due to my ignorance rather than put my ignorance out into the world and pretend it was meaningful.
