--- Quote from: Narr ---You mentioning 4th of July got me thinking, I think it's funny songs I never really listened to on my own are now some of my favorite songs.  I retroactively found out I liked a lot of Grunge music because my brother was into Soundgarden and Pearl Jam.  It was like, once I actually started to LISTEN to music, I'd hear some song and say "Hey, that sounds familiar."

The same doesn't go for me. Up until three years ago, Nirvan was the only grunge I knew. The others never really broke through in Holland, at least, not in any mainstream manner.

It's interesting because I was basically six when grunge was really popular and didn't like music at all. I'm basically a late blooming grunge kid.

I have no idea how I came into this knowledge.

That's not as bad as when you don't realize you're singing along to tha tstupid country song that's all "You make me feel like a natural woman"

I hope I'm not the only person that's mind has been attacked by the vicious aliens from Mars that perpetuate this atrocity.

VNV Nation are one of my favourite bands but every time I see them mentioned online it's within or followed by a string of comments along the lines of "that band has too many fans", "blah blah overrated shite", "I've heard one too many of their crappy remixes" etc. At a guess it's because they're more well-known in America so they've reached the "cool to hate" area of the popularity-o-meter?

Anyway, if I were to be the type to feel guilty about liking unpopular bands, I guess that'd be the closest thing to an answer to this thread I can come up with...

Kai:
Really? I love VNV Nation and never hear anything about them here in America. Popular in whatever the hell genre of electronic stuff you call them? Yeah. And that's where the stupid fucking elitist kids get annoyed because nobody acknowledged that they were listening to them earlier. I mean, just shut up guys. Their last album was great.

I suppose they have if you're a new-school rivethead. But then again, if that's the case, no-one but you can probably tell the difference between your favourite bands, so what you like and dislike is pretty void. I mean, I love me some EBM and Futurepop, but apart from a few mavericks like :wumpscut and Mind.in.a.box it's not the most endlessly diverse genre, and it's also one of those ones where it is pretty assured that the more well known you are the better you are (whereas it is often, of course, vice versa).
