I wish I was in a fighting mood. That was a hell of a gauntlet throw.

I'll just say this. If you're going to judge him based on your tastes, why not instead be productive and suggest some of your superior musical choices and hope he accidentally listens to them?

well, you could try listening to Anberlin? but I'm guessing everyone listens to Anberlin so scratch that.

here are some of my favorites:
-fun/ The Format
-The Matches
-The Ataris
-The Graduate
-Bayside

yes, that's a lot of "the." maybe you'll dig some of them.

hahaha, i'm just messing with everyone. thought that was clear...

BUT, i will suggest some:

Arcade Fire - alternative/indie (hate using that word) - start with Funeral
mewithoutYou - alternative/rock (depending on album) - start with Catch For Us The Foxes
Grandaddy - acoustic/electronic/alternative - start with Sumday
The Strokes - alternative/rock - start with Is This It
The Elected - folk/country/alternative - start with Me First

there.

plenty of people. even though i live in the south, there are some weird methhead people i went to school with who wore the huge ICP t shirts. had the bracelets, keychains, cd player going, etc... it was weird when i would see a bunch hanging out and i got my strokes t-shirt on.
