I'm saying you hate on shit because you're clueless. You think that if you just say it's crap, it'll cover up the fact that you don't know shit about shit.

but you've got it switched around a bit. i don't hate on music because i don't understand it. i'm not completely oblivious. in fact, i have spent 15 years playing guitar. i can even tune a guitar by ear without even pressing a fret. i can identify most fairly-popular modern rappers by voice alone. whatever.
to understand my perspective on music, consider a venn diagram depicting my emotional makeup and the popular emotional expressions of modern music. over time, my small circle slides as if on a ouija board from the circle of happiness into the circle of angst into the circle of narcissism (hip-hop, of course) and as it begins to revolve around narcissism my already small circle begins to shrink and the proportion of its diameter outside of the circumference of narcissism begins to increase so that eventually my circle appears to be a dot rolling across the outside surface of narcissism until the moment it completes its revolution at which point the trajectory of that dot splits off in a straight line into blank space like a deflected billiard ball, away from the kaleidoscope of musical flavors, and i'm silently eating ramen on the ship's observation desk watching the colorful surface the musical landscape shrink slowly away like a distant galaxy. i consider for a second, if only i had studied hip-hop as throughly as malachi, maybe i would have wanted to stay somewhere where people pretty much liked the same thing in a couple different ways and argued who was better in which color and which color was better than other colors. nah. fuck it. fuck the whole thing. i'd rather watch from here and enjoy the occasional supernova. i poke my fork around the noodles as if looking for something, shrug, and think, you know these aren't half bad.
for further reading, see my piece #1453 on my rejection of fanboyism. i think you might be able to learn something from it.
don't even try to know me, bitch. i evicerate fanboys like you.
