Am I REALLY that far out there?

I think other people are just traditional.

Worse, I think to them music really is cloathing, your supposed to treat it like new cloathing, and that's that. I feel wierd sometimes even bumping all that Mobb Deep and Cypress Hill stuff too loud if I'm driving because even though it's about the only way I like hip-hop (I hate the new pop rap) it's like people are gonna give me wierd looks while their bumping their 2005 crap thinking "Come on! That was cool back in 1996! Are you that out of style?". Not that I really care what they think, just that its a real sickening reminder of their irreverence for sounds and just how broadly pervasive that irreverence is through society.

So, that must mean the ones growing up in this day and age like so-called newer sounds. I don't like them as much, but I like sounds that bring back older music (take Alicia Keys for example.) I like people who give prodigies like her credit.

Well, right - but that's because, to most of Western "society", everything is disposable (cheap, worthless, meaningless). To them, music's just another commodity, rather than an artform, and they treat it as such.

That mindset is incomprehensible to me.

Oh, I understand completely; I DJ an online radio show each week, and my playlists consist of my favorite stuff, both new and old. I love being able to share this with any listeners who happen to drop by. I realized many years ago, though, that most people don't care for the music I love. Sometimes, my show only has a handful of listeners - but that's fine with me, because ultimately, I'm doing it for my own benefit/enjoyment, anyway...
