Monday Morning Meme + Poll
Jul. 30th, 2007 11:46 amFirst off: ( This is absolutely correct and no surprise at all. )
( This one means less to me. )
Also, in case anyone ever doubted, since this came up in the car yesterday, I am ISTJ (sometimes ISTP). This is not relevant except that, as a very strong S, I completely do not believe that anyone ever is or could be an N, especially not with the ridiculous example my older sister gave me (if you have an apple and are asked to describe it, Sensing-types go "It's an apple, round and green," and, supposedly, Intuition-types go "Ooh, original sin."). I just could not believe it happens. Cheerfully,![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
kent_allard_jr proved me wrong. For all three of you who don't know what I'm talking about, click on this link. It's bullshit, but it's fun bullshit.
Speaking of things we discussed on the car trip to being consumer whores: music. Listening to the radio on the weekend continues to be an adventure not always worth having. The two stations I think have reliably or at least predominantly good music (Q104.3 and K-Rock 92.3) are more a mixed bag, especially on a Sunday night. It led to discussions of music all the parties involved liked at all stages of their lives to this point. Things we listened to before we had the choice (what our parents played for us as kids); music we explored when choice first became an option (middle school to early high school years); music we actually purchased and pursued in concerts and on the radio (high school and college); and music we have come to appreciate after the years of easy access to others' catalogues (post-college).
Not surprisingly, there were many choices regretted ("Oh God, I own the first Spice Girls album!" "I went to see Kenny G in concert!"). There were disappointments ("Whatever happened to [fill in the blank]?" "I can't believe the last three albums [fill in the blank] released were so bad." "I can't believe I missed [fill in the blank] in concert!"). But there was an overall trend and commonality to each story in that every one had, at some point either in college or just after, stopped actively acquiring new music that he or she liked with the same intensity as anything they picked up before that point. My general sense is that, with few exceptions to prove the rule, this is a very typical experience. But because I don't have a permanent account for nothing, I present: A POLL!
[Poll #1030363]
I realize that 3, 5, and 7 are sort of related, but they each have their own thing to contribute, and I bet some of you will be surprised how differently you might answer them. Enjoy!
