poptimists | This is what you get when I forget to YSI MP3s

"what made BUSTED!! so fun was the mix of loving them, laughing at them, laughing with them, fearing for them, getting frustrated with them, cheering them on, trying to work out which way they were pulling and finally weeping as Charlie went to the bad side"

(this was me on ILM)

What's more annoying:

- ppl thinking you like pop 'ironically' i.e. only pretend to like it.
- ppl thinking you like pop because of a weird fascination with the 'innocent' mindset of the yng teenage GURL.

My liking (maybe yours!) of pop can be both hugely unsophisticated (OMG MUST DANCE NOW) but also relatively sophisticated/knowing, see Busted thing above, and YES thus contains an element of 'irony' too - IS THAT SO WRONG!

& of course the straw teengurl responds in all these ways too and more no doubt.

PS today I might buy AN paid account so I can do polls on LJ. ph34r poptimists.
