I think I'm becoming a music elitist

[meegannie]

I'm trying not to, but I couldn't help but cringe when I saw Counting Crows on a Coke commercial last night (with a beach and a girl in a bikini, no less). The fact that the Strokes were in Teen People's Top 25 People Under 25 bothers me. Ash being on the Area 2 thing bothers me. The White Stripes being on the MTV Movie Awards really bothers me. I like that bands I like are becoming sucessful in the US, but I also like seeing my favourite bands at small venues. I'm also afraid of a Dave Matthews-type thing where they change in order to become more "radio-friendly." What has become of me??

get sisters that listen to top 40 shit all the time and you won't be an elitist anymore. You'll beg and cry for your music to go mainstream, I promise.

what is the difference between being an elitist and being stuck up? (musically or otherwise)

I think the day 10 years ago when I really truly got into U2 is the day I became elitist.
