except not at all

everyone on this forum has this archaic and obscure as hell sense of music, because they want to look interesting and special

I listen to The Beatles, David Bowie, Queen, LDR, GNR, etc, because they're good

That's what makes it contrarian, you idiot.

No, you're a contrarian because you unnecessarily posted a controversial opinion in a place where you knew it was controversial in an attempt to look enlightened, like your fellow contrarians.

I listen to obscure music because it just so happens that the most interesting, emotionally engaging, and inspiring artists I enjoy are generally obscure.

No one gives a shit about the bands and artists I listen too, for the most part, so why would I use their obscurity as some sort of food for the ego?

OT: Tool is probs my most favorite 'mainstream' band.

How is that relevant? I'm merely pointing out how his generalization is illogical.

You asked him why you'd hypothetically use obscure bands to feed your ego, which is asking why contrarianism is popular in the first place.

Of course his generalisation is illogical, it's SecondClass. What's even funnier is that he prides himself on being some judgeless martyr, but that's less relevant.

I point these things out so peeps might question the points they're trying to convey, because I feel like they don't quite understand them or at least the subject they pertain to fully, sometimes.

As for your opinion of SecondClass and his sense of logic, I couldn't care less. It's completely irrelevant to me or anything I was trying to accomplish in this thread.

because they're good

and I would hardly call lyrical geniuses like Pink Floyd, David Bowie, or GNR "dumbed down"

just because I don't listen to edgy indie band #3471 doesn't mean I'm a contrarian

you could ask the most out of touch, valley girl 2016 teenager who Pink Floyd is, and she'd know

Not everything that's popular is dumbed down garbage.

I dunno, there's too many mainstream shit today that I surprisingly like but don't know the band/name of song.

I don't think you know what the word "mainstream" means

if it's some some obscure hipster shit, it's mainstream
