I wouldn't say I am a rebel with any cause at all. I wouldn't say I'm particularly non-conformist or even particularly anti-establishment.
Something inside me, however, has an allergy to things that are popular, most easily visible in music. If a lot of people like it, I tend to avoid it. It isn't always the case, but my natural tendency is to flock towards obscure groups.
"Now, Mike," you may be thinking, "someone who is anti-music-establishment would not like such bands as U2, Van Halen, and The Beatles. You are obviously not a rebel and I hereby rebel against you."
I realize that this is not always the case, I'm just saying my natural tendency is to flock away from popular music. Due to the amount of trash in popular music, the gold tends to get covered up pretty quickly. There's lots of bands I missed out on for a while because I was a stuck up, I'm-so-much-better-than-pop musician.
It is most definitely a fault. Don't be a stuck up musician, check things out.

I still say you need to do music reviews
i agree KK
As I was reading this, all I could think about was: "What did Mike listen to and enjoy that inspired him to write this post?" So you gotta tell us.
I remember the first time we moved away from this was when we listened and enjoyed "Welcome to the Black Parade." It doesn't get much less rebellious than that, lol.
If you want recommendations on bands that people have never heard of, I have tons. Ask Bryan from WEC.
