    You like songs. You don’t like music.

    It’s what the part in that one song means when he’s singing

    he’s the one who likes all our pretty songs. And he likes to sing along, and he likes to shoot his gun. But he don’t know what it means

          i realize you get off on being cryptic, but i can’t accept this gatekeepy bullshit. I’m too old and neurodivergent to care about whatever profound wisdom you want me to discover. be straight with me, or shut up.

            I am being clear with you, you can’t understand because you don’t like what I am saying. It’s not cryptic. It’s obvious.

            Let me just start by pointing out that you came into a thread asking about your favorite album at this moment and you stated how you don’t like albums. You started with a negative response. I gave you a chance to be a part of the conversation but you went even more negative.

            You like songs. You listen to them one after another. But your missing the point of what an album is to the people who make albums.

            You like the pretty songs but you don’t know what it means.

            The lyrics I quoted are from Kurt Cobain who famously hated poser music fans. He wanted his music listener to listen to his album but the music industry turned him into a pop star by releasing his songs as singles. He hated how people only knew Smells Like Teen Spirit or his other radio hits but didn’t know his other stuff and only ever wanted to hear one song.
