My Ears Are Filled With Rage

Finding good music is something I enjoy. Of course, my tastes are different from others and I accept that - up to a certain point.

I was going to work this morning on the train and someone was listening to their mp3 player at a ridiculously high level. I'd like to state for the record that this is not the time to impress your peers on the subway with the volume of your headphones - this is commuting time, I want it to happen quickly and without incident.

Anyways, as invariably happens with people blasting tunes on their headphones, this woman was listening to a BAD SONG. You know the one. Some heavy, alt-metal embarassment to humanity, accompanied by that female vocalist who delicately fawns, "wake me up inside, blah blah..."

What's worse is that this VERY SAME THING HAPPENED LAST WEEK DURING MY COMMUTE. Same song. Same unfortunate decibel level. But not the same person!!

Me, at approximately 8:34 AM today

This means more than one person is listening to that shitshow. And it was a hit, when? Like 3 or 4 years ago?

That it was ever popular is insulting enough. But for people to continue a whole-hearted embrace of the tune makes me want to vomit. Specifically, on them.

I thought Obama was going to change all this. What a horrible president.
