I try to be helpful, but I always come off as a jerk. I don't know why. I really want as many people to listen to as much music as possible!

Kids In The Hall quoting "Heathers", you mean...

Dan Perry = world's greatest pop-culture pedant.

I have been, and to some extent still am. I'm trying not to be anymore.

You learn the most about music from pretentious gits.

Maybe. When I was a younger, my sister was making a tape for a friend of hers that I ended up going out with. She suggested that we make her a tape and gave me a D90 with the Wonderstuff on one side and I refused to put anything on the other side cos I thought that what I was going to put on the other side (Cocteau Twins, Pink Industry, Kitchens of Distinction, AR Kane) deserved better.

She used to steal my tapes of carefully recorded Peel Sessions and copy over them Bon Jovi, if that helps my case.

I fear that I probably am (who'm I kidding? of course I am), but that's because I'm not afraid to HONOR THE FIRE!

But, y'see, if I get it all out of my system here on ILM (crossing swords with equally pig-headed music-heads and whistle-headed pop enthusiasts), I reckon I'm an easier sort to deal with elsewhere. Could be wrong, though.

used to be i cringed when i thought that i might be an elitist. but i realised that one person's "pretention" or "arrogance" is another person's aspiration toward something more personally fulfilling...

What happens if you're too hip to be merely a mainstreamist square, but too poorly informed to be a pretentious, pedantic snob?

that makes you me i suppose.

Let's see now - I regularly read and occasonally post to a web board dedicated to dissecting the minutiae of pop music.

The answer to your question is therefore: yes.

Could be a double quote, Id rather smell like a B Movie star though.

I incorporate the concept's essence. I should bottle and sell it as a fragrance.

Only when it comes to road trip music.

― lyra (lyra), Saturday, 21 September 2002 02:52 (twenty-three years ago)

i don't think there's anything pretentious about loving something to the point of submerging youself in it til you can barely breathe. but that's probably an insufferably pretentious thing to say innit?

― Charlie (Charlie), Saturday, 21 September 2002 05:43 (twenty-three years ago)

No, I don't believe I am. I am far too *tolerant.* But then I did make my cousin cry once duirng a discussion about music.

not at all. I am a defender.

how on earth are you supposed to know if you're pretentious anyway?

― threemetalinsects (threemetalinsects), Sunday, 22 September 2002 07:04 (twenty-three years ago)

Meditate deeply upon your innermost self and seek the truth. Alternately, ask random strangers in the street.

Well dang if that shoe doesn't fit.

I've developed a tollerence that if a friend plays me something they think I'll like but really want to break in half I tell them "Its not my style".

― brg30 (brg30), Sunday, 22 September 2002 21:45 (twenty-three years ago)

sure I am. because it's fun

― M Matos (M Matos), Sunday, 22 September 2002 21:50 (twenty-three years ago)

very well put.

― Ashley Andel, Monday, 23 September 2002 02:05 (twenty-three years ago)

Pretentious != git, though there's a correlation.

― B:Rad (Brad), Monday, 23 September 2002 02:36 (twenty-three years ago)

The whole Eno axis incl. those "art installations."
