For people not interested in wordage, it basically says that if other people think something is good, YOU are more likely to think it's good too.

I wish I'd done psychology, just research what people already knew...

Someone got paid a hell of a lot of money to come up with that as well.

I'm in the wrong game.

Oh that is fairly obvious from the word go I would have thought.

Not to mention the theories of "Peer pressure" and "fitting into mainstream societies" have been around for decades.

U2 have sold 50 million albums yet I remain unconvinced of their talents

Popularity is no indication of quality.

I still find it hard to live in a world where the Crazy Frog gets to number one.

^ I couldn't understand it...

For years, great artists have been battling to even get into the top ten, and all of a sudden some crap excuse for a 'band' gets number 1, just like that!! Well, one has to realise that it's not necessarily because it's good music, it's just record sales. bl**dy kids......
