The Da Vinci Code.

I hate Shayne Ward as well but do not consider this a poptimist failing.

The Mikkel Metal album I bought the other week. Not bad as such, but quite disappointing.

[juror8.livejournal.com]

Vin Diesel.

Miss Dynamite-tee-hee. It's the "tee-hee" I can't stand, it makes me want to break stuff.

N-Trance

Pretty much any boy band you'd care to name. Apart from A-Ha (and do they count?)

I hate the BBC -- does that count?

Guilty Failures

[(Anonymous)]

Could "Poptimist failures" be renamed "guilty failures"? Either way, the concept seems as bad as "guilty pleasures" and suggests something wrong with the notion of "Poptimism" (except that I think my man Dubdobdee was being ironic in his use of the term "Poptimist failure" and that the irony is a jab at Lex).

Slash Spice

it is more quizzical than ironic (since irony doesn't exist): and it is a jab at MY OWN INNER LEX i think

Yes, I am feeling like I should leave the group, because I can't quite figure out what a 'poptimist failure' would be.

Or maybe this is the approprite place to admit that I LIKE ROBBIE WILLIAMS.

Re: Guilty Failures

[dubdobdee.livejournal.com]

disliking robbie williams = (v.v.widespread) poptimist failure

[jel-bugle.livejournal.com]

I like Blaine now he is failed.

[dubdobdee.livejournal.com]

[thebopkids.livejournal.com]

I am a poptimist failure, every day.
