If you are a real music fan you seek out new & different music.
disagree.
a music fan, especially a self described one, is just that: a fan of music. no matter how broad or narrow their knowledge of music is, they still like what they hear.
music that "nobody has heard" doesn't make it good music either.
a lot of my friends/relatives that listen to the radio and watch mtv don't like ANY of the music i listen to. and i'm not gonna cram it down their throats. what's the point?
if my sister likes jessica simpson and avril lavine, well, tough shit. that's who she likes. and there are MILLIONS of people like that, and you're not better than them for liking "indie rock".
deal with it.
