Hillary: Is it arrogance to imply that people should open themselves up to other kinds of music before shoving their opinions into other people's faces? You're either the bitch who sits on their couch and gets weaned on MTV and bull**** publications like Rolling Stone and Pitchfork or you are an explorer who seeks to expand his/her listening capacities and tolerances by searching out things for yourself.

Get your ass out of the nest before calling me out on arrogance.
