500 Days of Summer

So, I just was forced to watch this movie over the weekend, as well as go to two shows (h2o one day and lemuria the next). I wasn't a huge fan of H2O and I thought Lemuria were pretty good live, even though I never liked listening to them. People think it's ridiculous when I say I don't like hardcore because of everything they've contributed to the straight edge and vegan movements. I'm not a huge lemuria fan because I am not a fan of Indie....or more specifically, indie kids but after giving them a second chance, they weren't too bad and it supports local music.
What got me on the topic of my weekend, I wasn't a fan of 500 days of summer (I guess I'm a difficult person to please....I haven't been a fan of anything in this post so far) but one thing that I LOVED about the movie was when they talk about octopus's garden being the girl's favorite song and the argument they got into. It reminded me of my own life. I loved this song during my younger years and I wondered how many kids my age understood that reference. Octopus's Garden is one of my favorite beatles songs, but it reminded me of getting into fights my entire life about the kind of music I listened to. I grew up listening to classic rock and I was made fun of constantly. I got into so many fights with people who said the beatles and other bands sucked.
Well, now that I'm many years older, it has become popular to like once you hit college age. Now stuff that I was made fun of by these kids is their favorite music. Go figure.
