Yeah I know I blogged a bit ago, but I thought of something else to add.. So there I am, banging my head away to my iPod, while the taxi blares annoying as hell Hindi music. I mean it's not just because I don't understand the lyrics, no, it's something fundamentally different. I hate it because it reminds me of gay Hindi movies. That's it. Nothing more.
But then I started thinking.. I consider myself to be relatively open-minded when it comes to music. I'll listen to just about anything.. or so I thought. In actuality, I'll listen to most anything on my own iPod is what it really boils down to. Country? Not gonna listen to it. Hindi? Will probably listen and decide before it starts that I'm going to hate it. Classic Rock? Not gonna happen. So what have I become, really? I read this thing today about 'iPod people'. How we're basically just micro-focusing ourselves so much that there's no more variety left in the world. I like rap. But not all rap. Mostly Eminem rap. And not his old stuff. Just everything after the Marshall Mathers LP. And not all of it, but...and so on.
Am I, after all this, a product of my society's technological advances?
Or am I just closed-minded?
I pray it's the former.
