All right, I was thinking so before it all fades away, I'm here in my brother's dorm putting it down in blog form.

I was in Hot Topic a few days ago and heard a couple songs that I really liked right from the get go. So I was really curious to know who was performing the songs and had a friend ask the clerk. After inquiring she found out that the band was Panic! At the disco. I was told I couldn't like that music because that would make me a follower. I'm sorry but how does me just simply hearing a few songs, or even just one, make me a follower. Can I not just simply like/love the song(s) just because I want to? And in turn, if a radio station constantly plays new 'hits' and such, wouldn't that mean that in a way they're turning us all into followers? I mean all the music I have is stuff I like-I heard it, I liked it, I got it. Some times it was people telling me, "check this song/band out." No harm in that. If I see or hear something I like and I 'follow' that it's only got to do with my taste, not because I want to be like everyone else. So, being told that I can't like something kind of infuriorates me, makes me feel a tad belittled as well.
