Things people like that let you know they suck

[astroglide]

i'm not a fan of the dave matthews band, but those guys are extremely talented.

I agree with the concept, but not al the specifics. I enjoyed The Da Vinci Code when I read it, I think it's a very gripping read. I imagine the movie will suck. I hope I don't suck.

Legally Blonde.

Not necessarily because their music is particularly horrible, but naming any of the above among your favorite artists pretty much just says "I'm a boring person who likes to smoke lots of weed."

All 3 of the above are very good, not my favorites, but still make very enjoyable music. FWIW, I haven't smoked weed in a long time, and am generally not boring.

Are you over 40? Because liking them is much more excusable if you are older and like them in a nostalgic sense. I was mostly referring to people in my age group (early-mid 20s) who like them because it was cool to be a hippie in high school.

Although I do agree that it's stupid when people listen to a certain type of music cuz it's cool, I think it's worse that you mark a group of people and then go and disregard all of their music as hippy-music, so therefore it's bad and you won't listen to it. All three of those artists have many great tunes that have nothing to do with smoking pot. How much of their music have you actually listened to besides their mainstream hits? Not much at all, I imagine.

People who like:

Car stereos you can and WILL hear outside the car at 2 in the morning.

Caring what belt buckle you wear.

Telling you how much their hair cut cost.

Looking for every opportunity to say, "Excuse me?"

Trying to get you involved in a clique when you take a new job.

Trying to make you dislike people you've never met, in general.

Good one, almost all female law students love this movie, and, probably not coincidentally, suck.

[pokerspite]

I worked at a motorcycle dealer that sold the big three Japanese brands and I have never seen in my entire life a more surefire, guaranteed indicator of suckiness than someone who either wanted to buy or owned a Honda Goldwing. Seriously, some of the most unlikable people you ever met.

[junglewarfare]

people who wear those gold rings with a school crest on them, strangely enough the better the school is the more the person is likely to suck.

I never said that they suck. Just that their fans generally do.
