It's hypocritical and crazy, right? Because it's not like fanfic and pop-punk are ~so cool~.
But here, a snippet of last night's conversation.
Supermassive Black Hole comes up on shuffle.
Me: Oh, good song!
Hostess: Yes, I really like it. It's the best song from Twilight.
Me: ...
Me: Uh, this actually came out on one of Muse's albums a couple of years before the movie.
Hostess: Really? I didn't know that, I don't think I have any of their other songs.
Me: Muse? The band you were excited to see when they open for U2?
Hostess: Ohhh! Really? I didn't realize.
There was significant discussion of Twilight (there is a teenage girl in the household, and she insists that it's the BEST SERIES EVER) and Eregon.
There was also significant mental facepalming on my part.
