why my taste in music is better than yours

Music is a pretty big thing i thinks.
like almost as big as anything i can think of.
Now the thing with music is that it is very much a generational thing. What I mean is that your parents will think that your music is shit, and you in turn will hate your children's music. This is because of music's evolutionary and social standing. What I mean is, firstly, music changes. Secondly, your taste in music is largely dictated by your social surroundings.
For example:
If your mates listen to lots of drum and bass, you are more likely to get into drum and bass.
They in turn were most probably exposed to it in a similar fashion.
That is, I am afraid, how it works largely.
And because of this, unless you are the owner of an inquisitive mind, you will forever be a slave to MTV.
How does it feel to be fucked by MTV?
Or, if your even more unlucky, you'll get sucked into indie music. That is, music thats not good enough to be popular, but thats not why it doesn't sell. It doesn't sell because of THE MAN, THE MAN wants to control your taste in music. It's fucking MIND CONTROL, and its in your music.
but really its shit music, defended by pretentious bastards, who really like said song, bwecause being edgy and alternative, is an easy way to get chicks. Hey, even indie dudes need to get their mack on....
But anyway, what it comes down to is exposure. If you aren't exposed to a genre or artist, its like that is something that you are missing out on. Sure there are plenty of things that I would happily say you should miss.
My Chemical Romance
umm
Lady Gaga
Generally music aimed at teenagers.
So what I have done is compile something of a list of artists that you should expose yourself to.
This is actually great music, but its not by any means the only music you should listen to. If we were a bit more open minded with our music taste, we would be able to experience so much great music.
Music is joy
Spread some motherfuckin love.
