Great thing about art, Stewie...you really can't make a qualitive statement about it...but I have noticed that people that get their little noses out of joint when someone dismisses, discredits, or disagrees with their opinion, they get all defensive. It's almost like they have to be RIGHT, and what they think doesn't hold any weight if everyone doesn't agree with them.
I think on the whole that your taste seems to be dictated by what everyone you look up to liked or likes, and that you fo with whatever was 'hip' at any given time.
Truth be told, I don't care what you like...I've never seen you able to say WHY you like something. That in itself, speaks volumes.
And just to make you feel better, if you think my music and my taste are so lame...why would that have any impact on what YOU believe.
Go ahead and enjoy your music...and I...unlike you, won't call it crap because I don't like it.
I just don't like it because it does not talk to me.
Post-punk?
Isn't EVERYTHING post punk by now?

Aw, it's so cute that you're so out of it that you think New Order are
somehow "hip," when the hipsters of the day have no idea who they are.
New Order are stictly dad-rock for oldsters like me, these days. As
for those songs...sorry, no. But nice try.
