Internet· Rants & Whines Who is Lance Bass and why should I care?

I guess I'm just old. Or just too much of a 60's rock n' roll baby. I wander thru various LiveJournals of people I know from the net, mostly fanfic authors, and they're cluttered with all these teen pop guys for icons. And it just really colors my impression of the LJ before I've even read a word. I dunno, I don't really have anything much against pop, it's just that it's, well, it's pop. By definition, it's fluff, it's lightweight, it's cutesy, like the bands that make it. It's good music for a club, to dance to but otherwise, I need *real* music, the kind that saved my soul and helped me survive adolescence and still helps me survive life every day.

And it's weird to find authors and other fen that I know from their stories that are serious and strong and so incredibly good and they're listening to something I classify as so lightweight. It's just kind of freaky...
