When you are talking to someone...and you reach the "so what kind of music do you listen to?" subject...you ask for "what is your favorite song from this band?"
then the person answer something like this:
pantera: walk
nirvana: hearth shaphed box/smells like teen spirit.
metallica: one/enter sandman
iron maiden: the number of the beast/run to the hills
avenged sevenfold. blinded in chains/city of evil
AC/DC: back in black
I mean...why the hell do they gotta pick the most commercial song? (which is most of the times, one of the worst) maybe because of guitar hero games? (reason why everyone says that one is a badass song and that is the best metallica's song)
you know I would LOVE to hear someone who says "my favorite nirvana song...about a girl, mollie cryes...all apologies..." instead of "SMELLS LIKE TEEN SPIRIT!" and someone else saying "walk sucks, it does not compare to other pantera's songs"
why can there only be kids out there who have only listened one song of the band, and then they say stuff like "OMG THIS BAND AND THIS SONG IS SOO BADASS!!!"

Dude, it's not a big deal. Someone mentions a commercial song, and you're complaining that they mentioned the song that gets radio play?
Well, turn it around. Pretend that I ask you your favourite songs, and you mention Nirvana's "Milk It". I don't know if that song got much radio play, but I sort of doubt it. But you still mentioned NIRVANA.
Do you see where I'm going with this?
Look, if you're gonna get annoyed by someone's favorite song being something commercial like "Smells Like Teen Spirit" or "Enter Sandman", then why stop there? You'd might as well get annoyed at them for liking mainstream BANDS such as Nirvana or Metallica.
And I don't know if you've ever met these kinds of indie douchebags, but I have. And a lot of them suck. Is THAT what you want to be acting like? Have you ever met one of those people who prides themselves on not liking anything "popular", and won't give you the time of day unless you like the song "That Ain't Chocolate!" by local band Greg's Greasy Sausage? They'll be like, "OMG, this guy is actually listening to FM RADIO!! Buuurrrn him!!!"
Just...whatever. If you want to define people based on how "commercial" their favorite songs are, then that's more a statement about you than it is about them. I generally don't give a flying **** what kind of music people like. Because in the real world, your musical preference generally doesn't make you a good worker, a caring friend and lover, or a nurturing parent. You're ranting about how someone's favorite Nirvana song is "Smells Like Teen Spirit" rather than "Radio Friendly Unit Shifter", and that's just silly. What difference does it make? And furthermore, if you're actually gonna get pissed off at their "commercial" musical preferences, then at least be consistent with it and give them crap just for liking Nirvana and Metallica.
