I realized this about two days ago; when I was in middle school, people would ask what my favorite band was. I'd reply with one of my random underground ones, and, in response to their blank stare or polite nod, I'd say, "I's okay. They're pretty underground. You probably haven't heard of them."
Every. Single. Time.

I have long hair and I don't want to cut them, even though everyone tells me they look bad. I don't care about fashion and I hate going shopping, even though everyone buys lots of expensive clothes "because they are popular". My iPod is full of The Megas/The Protomen ("Who the fuck are those?"), Caparezza ("Fabri Fibra is better!"), YGOTAS ("You have strange tastes"), Homestuck ("WHO?!") and Queen ("Freddy Mercury is lame and gay and so are you"). I'm really proud of my music though, because while everyone listens to "Futuristic Rap" (Fabri Fibra) I get "You aren't the state" . I translated a part of those two songs' lyrics to compare them.
Rap Futuristico (Futuristic Rap)
Futuristic Rap! (A! B!)
Futuristic Rap! (A B A B AB AB!)
Futuristic Rap! (Fa! Bri!)
Futuristic Rap! (Fabri fabri fabri fabri)
Turubistic Rap! (A! B!)
Speperteristic Rap! (Fibra Fibra Fibra Fibra)
Sperperistic! (C! D!)
Futuristic Rap!
Non siete Stato voi (You aren't the State)
You aren't the State, you who'd burn immigrants like witches, while worshipping the One in the cave!
You aren't the State, with the Duce's bust on the writing desks and the Consitution under your feet!
You aren't the State, you who deserve to be extirpated like weed from your seats!
You aren't the State, You aren't the State
You aren't the State, you who make laws for yourselves, according to the genitals!
You aren't the State, you who treat critics like a stray cat who needs to get his vocal cords cut!
You aren't the State, you servants, who have rent ruler clothes with cheddar you don't deserve
It is you, brothers of a lodge based on the value of the privilegeds
Like you, who call mobsters "heroes" and you call corrupt people "pious"!
And every one of you, involved in every kind of crime looks at the magistrate and then swears to God: "It wasn't me!"
As you can read, the first song is just meaningless gibberish, while the second one is a song about our shitty, corrupt and fascist government.
Note that every person I know has the first song on his Mobile phone/iPod/whatever and regards the second one as lame and/or boring
