37: Candy shop

When I was 9 or 10, I got my first MP3 player and discovered MTV. Back then, I loved Hip Hop music. I loved Eminem's songs and I was a fan of 50 Cent. One day, I watched A7X's Bat Country on MTV for the first time, and I wondered why everybody loved it. I found it ridiculously noisy and thought that the bats thing was lame.

Okay, I was still young (and stupid) at that time.

So, when I first entered Secondary School, I got bored with Hip Hop and decided to discover more. That's when I started relistening A7X and fell in love with the band. I told myself to not be so narrow-minded and so started listening to other Metal bands (Atreyu) as well.

Then came the most dramatic year of my life: the 14th year. Things happen and I started growing up (mentally) and dropped A7X for MM cuz A7X to me was "happy music". As the days go by, I slowly stopped listening to A7X and added more MM into my playlist (Right now there's only 1 A7X song on my playlist).

Not long after I pledged loyalty to MM, I started listening to Blink-182, and that I found surprising. Blink-182's and MM are like complete opposites. While MM sings about his life, Blink-182 parodies other artistes in their videos. No doubt, Blink-182 did grow up and started producing more mature music.

Now I sit and wonder while waiting for my Trend Micro PC-cillin Internet Security 2007 to finish scanning my laptop. Will MM still dominate my playlist next year?



P.S. A7X = Avenged Sevenfold, MM = Marilyn Manson.
