I reckon you probably have heard those guys but it's been in the background somewhere and you didn't know who it was.magma wrote:I like pop music a LOT, but I've never heard a single record by:

It surprises me how familiar people who claim to be anti-pop are with their music when it's so easy to avoid. I watch TV. I read the papers. I'm online most of the day, but I've never even had to decide to not find out about these people... do people listen to them just so they can be annoyed?
Still I do agree, unless you work somewhere that has the radio on the whole time it's pretty easy to avoid shit music (though all my time going out on the piss with not very serious music fans at uni did expose me to a lot of Guetta type crap).
Overally I think it's pretty ridiculous how it's such a big deal for some people to hate on pop music. Especially when I like some pop type shit anyway (though most of my buying of any of it comes a little while on like with the large amount of timbaland and neptunes produced stuff I go after now from years back)
I mean I get loads of flack from people for saying that Beyonce has loads of good tunes despite it being true. Are people still insecure about what their taste says about them like in secondary school or some shit?
