There are no facts to support calling people idiots for liking Poison or Def Leppard.

That I choose to make it drunk on a friday night and use swears while doing so isn't something that a grown up should really be shocked by. The world values formulaic, predictable, unchallenging music over genuine creativitiy. There was a wider point.

Idiotic behaviour? And anyway, you still have no right to tell others what to like. Be it creative or not. And besides, you do not get to tell what's creative and what's not. It's not a fact, it's a matter of opinion. You like something, other people like other stuff. And they're as right as you.

And I damn well do have the right.

No, you don't. You have a right to your opinion, but not the right to tell people they're idiots for liking music you don't like.

Nowhere did I call any individual an idiot or a retard, but i would stand by the argument that someone whose musical taste revolved mainly around Poison and Def Leppard at the very least lacks a certain intellectual curiousity.

There you go again. Judging people based on their musical tastes is a sign of an idiot. You just can't seem to grasp the idea of "taste". Everyone's entitled to their opinion, even you. But you have NO right to judge people based on their taste. Intelligence has nothing to do with your taste in music. If you honestly think that, you're going to have a very interesting live ahead of you.
You don't have the right to tell other people what to think no matter what you think. You can say that you think a band is shit, but that's not the ultimate truth. You can NOT call someone an idiot for liking a band. Do that and I promise I'll **** with you every time.
And no, my feelings aren't hurt. I couldn't care less what you think of my taste in music. I really don't. People with self-esteem as bad as you seem to have aren't too high up on my list of people I give a damn about. I respect people who respect others, not people who think they get to tell others what to do.
