What a fascinating, downright droll, concept.

I know that i shouldn’t feel any guilt for loving the music i love. But when it’s considered as bad, weird, not something that is played on the radio or less cultured and something not everyone likes it just feels like a taboo to even enjoy it. And i’m embarrassed to letting my family and friends listen to any of my music. I mean i don’t feel any guilt in playing my favorite 80’s songs or any other of my favorite songs that aren’t so experimental. But it’s more the album’s i’ve mentioned and any other acidic/experimental/avant-garde music that i’m too afraid of playing, cause i know that they won’t like it and that i’m the only one who would love it.
I don’t know i guess i’m too easily embarrassed.
