28. "Created want" implies that I'm too stupid to know what I really want or don't want...

Nothing I despise more than someone telling me that I don't know what I want or don't want and that I'm too stupid to know the difference.

Given the wide range of music that we have access to these days I assert that homogenizing music is impossible. I also look to artists such as Nirvana, REM, and many others who bucked the trends and became huge. In the end, it's the consumers who decide what they like and don't like.

Just because there is a hit song that you or Noam don't like doesn't mean that those who do are mindless sheep that are too stupid to know that they're not supposed to like it.
