Musical Differences.

People are adamant about what they listen to until it reaches ludicrous levels. Teenagers get into fights over it, sometimes, even physical ones. Doing wedding over the summer as a DJ I experienced first hand the human stupidity that arises when a group of people can't agree on a genre. It's ridiculous. People conduct themselves as a bunch of 5 year olds with a toy taken away that they wanted.

People walked off the dance floor in a huff when the wrong song was played, making comments such as "This song really blows," as loud as they could to ensure the DJ could hear them. Except their DJ was Vince Wylde and he didn't give a sh** because the majority of people were dancing.

What happened 150 years ago to people when your choices were either Bluegrass or Classical? You liked one or the other. And in most cases, it was to your advantage to choose both because there simply weren't hundreds of sub-genres to choose from.

I think it's our society filled with self-righteous know-it-all lunatics who think they are God's gift to the rest of us. They act like a bunch of pompous asses and make scenes like the one mentioned above because they think they are saying something. Instead, they are ruining someone else's good time because the music isn't to their tastes. This also seems to go hand-in-hand with people who always think the sound is too loud and will make 2 visits to the DJ stand an hour to remind you to "please turn it down." Hey lady, you didn't shell out the money to pay for this, so sit down, and deal with it. You only get married once.
