Biggest Pet Peeve

If you want to know what my biggest pet peeve is, you're about to find out. It creeps and crawls and eats away at my insides.

So, high school is great. Variety of friends. Variety of styles. Variety of personalities. But there is on thing that I've noticed is that there is not a variety of music. Within the school in general, yes there is. But what I don't get is why a certain of music is directed towards one clique. For example, why do the goths have claim over metal? Why do the higher class people have to have claim over Rap and R&B? It defeats the purpose of music. If you take a look at my play list, it has a variety of different kinds of music. I will listen to pretty much anything. I can't pinpoint one genre and say it's my favorite. I can't pinpoint one artist and say they're my favorite. I just can't do it and I refuse to. And then there's a word that I cannot stand. And it's the word "poser". For those of you who went to high school forever ago and don't remember what a poser is, here's the definition: One who affects a particular attribute, attitude, or identity to impress or influence others. That is the biggest insult one can receive or at least, it would be for me. I've heard that word so much from people towards someone else because they say "oh well she dresses preppy and listens to metal. POSER!!!!" or "He dresses skater and likes rap. POSER!" What the heck is up with that? That is just wrong. I listen to everything and anything...as long as the song as meaning. There is one genre that does not float my boat and that's rap but I'm not going to completely rule it out because of the songs I've heard. Most rap songs I have heard, I don't like because it's just words on paper about drugs or sex. That isn't music. That's stupidity. But, there is Christian rap out there that I've listened to before and I like it. I like country. I like rock. I like everything. I don't like people telling me what I can and can't listen to because of the way I dress or who I hang out with. It's stupid. In general, I don't like people telling me what I can and can't listen to. You don't like it? That's okay. You are entitled to your opinion. Just because I like doesn't mean I'm asking you to listen to it or like it. It's time people started realizing that your taste in style, the people you hang out with, the clique you are in, the music you listen to...none of that makes you who you are.

I also don't understand something else. Cliques. It's the most ridiculous concept ever come up. Why are jocks more popular than bandies? It's SO stupid. Never mind. I'm not even going to start on that rant.

But I'm so tired of all of that. I wish people would just allow themselves to stand out and be different from the crowd. I'm not going to lie; sometimes I care a lot what people think of me at school and I try to be myself in its entirety. I'm trying to stop do that because it's stupid. If people are going to judge, it should be based on my personality...not my style or interests. The higher class snobs at my school need to wake and smell the coffee because all they do is make themselves look like jerky idiots by being the way they are. Are some of those girls who are thrown into that clique nice? Absolutely but I wish they would stop caring so much about what their friends think and realize that you can have more than one clique to hang out in. Shoot, just get rid of cliques. But I guess if that happened, we'd be in a perfect world huh? Cliques are life and it's not going to change anytime soon but I can hope and wish, can't I?

Well, I'm done ranting. Later everyone.

Oh one more thought. All of this goes along with racism too which is also stupid beyond reason. I hate it when people look at an African American and White couple and be all like HISS SPIT!!! That's stupid too. A lot of things are stupid.
