I'm glad I took the honor. I'm failing to see the pretension, though. Was it when I called the music "fag art rock?" Cuz I was kind of aiming for that to be ironic or something, I don't actually enjoy or use the term "art rock." Or was it when I talked about the musicians here:

Imo, Freddy Ruppert's solo stuff is merely "meh." Nika Roza's Zola Jesus is smurfing amazing though. And I'm a really big fan of Ruppert's work in Former Ghosts (he's pretty much the 'front man' of the band).

And I'm a complete hysterical angsty wrist cutting teenager for Xiu Xiu.
I ... I don't get what I did that was pretentious there either. Just stating an opinion. I wonder if I would be pretentious if I said something like "Hollywood Rose's stuff is merely meh but I'm a really big fan of Axl's work in Guns n Roses." Seriously I'm confused. Similarly, I thought that "hysterical angsty wrist cutting teenager" sort of made it clear I don't take myself that seriously.

Or maybe you think I'm pretentious just because of the music that was posted. I listen to Lady Gaga and Madonna, and saw Britney Spears in concert, love~~ Maybe you should look up the definition of pretentious, though I'm not the one putting myself up as though I deserve some sort of recognition or like my musical taste is of more importance than someone else's ... you apparently think yours is, though.

Also @charliepayani - I've never gave BSS a proper listen I don't really know any of the musicians involved though ... mostly I like them because they're from my city > _ > ~~~ tee hee~~ I know the one guy is / was dating Feist though, which is kinda neat.
