I'm probably one of the most out of touch people when it comes to music. With satellite radio, I never listen to regular stations. I never watch Much Music or MTV and don't watch a lot of TV. My only exposure to music is through friends, movies and AMG recommendations (ie. "If you like _______, then try this...). The fact that I listen to a lot indie or small label stuff if completely situational. I also listen to a lot of 60s and 70s stuff because I grew up on it.

I have heard of musicians like Kanye West, Usher, john Mayer, Drake, but I honestly have no idea what their songs are, and I imagine a lot of their fans would be shocked by that because they are supposedly awesome (or at least that is what people say). I was excited that something I like and am familiar with was being invited into a large mainstream venue, and I guess I was offended when some people said that they don't belong. I know that I shouldn't really care.
