Then why mention it in the first place? You brought these things up first, I'm just responding. Anyway, my tastes aren't massively non-mainstream, they're just diverse. I like plenty of mainstream shit, even if a lot of it is dross. But compared to you, my tastes veer way more mainstream, so I don't get why you think I think that I'm some massive individualistic rebel-hipster type.
I never said it's fine or a joke. I was being quite serious, your pretentious outings can be insufferable at times. I'm ridiculing you to cope with the mild frustration, not for a laugh. I'm just saying that if you're going to insult me back at least be accurate.
Also, I'm quite calm. If it makes you feel better to pretend that I'm actually angered, feel free to go on pretending.
Ah whatever man, you're just going to keep on using my own shtick against me, I'm just going to be harsher and harsher. Let's just call it a draw, I don't have the energy for these things any more.
When am I pretentious? I don't mean to be, I try generally to be humble about myself, because I don't think I'm better than anyone else or have particularly exceptional taste or anything. I'm sorry if I have come across like that, it wasn't intended. I can't think of any examples of me doing that, though. Might be slight projection on your part? You're far more artsy-fartsy than me, movie-wise. That's not a bad thing, I've had plenty of friends like that.
A draw? What is this, a pissing contest? I don't want to win or lose or whatever, I'm not that intellectually insecure. What are we even arguing about in your eyes? I'm just trying to converse with you.
We're both a bit pretentious at times, I guess. Except you're in full pretentious mode now, probably like I was around that age. No need to feel bad about it, at least you're not a chain-wanking, ringtone fanatic in a Burberry cap.
I hope you realise that generally I just like chatting with you and generally see you as a like-minded individual. I assumed that's what I was doing, but I dunno, apparently not. I'll just stop asking you if you listen to band X or artist Y in fear of making you think I'm trying to assert my hipster dominance
Also, it's not really the fact that you like certain artists or films, it's more the stylings of your posts when you write about them. But like I said, the reason why I find them cringeworthy to read is most likely because they remind me of myself at a certain point in my life. Either way, shine on you crazy diamond and that.
I'll try and work on the way I type. I'll change my inferred tone to something more neutral, I guess. That way I won't offend anyone by making them think I like the bands and movies I like. And then I'll train myself to doublethink, thank BB, drink my soma, and start a tumblr about things that offend me, such as people with a sense of self-worth and people with opinions.
