Unpopular/Controversial Opinions #3

I think From First To Last were better than Skrillex. Granted they are entirely different genres, but still.

To be honest, I'm surprised Skrillex has got so big, I thought it would be like a side project that Sonny was just going to dabble in for a while. But now like, everyone I know knows who he is (and, coincidentally, have never heard of FFTL.)

I don't like dubstep.

I wore an FFTL shirt to a Skrillex show and like, maybe two people at the entire show understood the reference. xD I don't blame them though, the music is kind of worlds apart.

I do love Dubstep though, and I actually love how Lollapolooza has been incorporating more electronic bands into their line ups. Every single electronic band I saw last summer had a PACKED stage, so I can't be the only one who enjoys it. Take that, music snobs. The people who buy almost $300 tickets to go to a concert and complain about how none of the bands are ~alternative~ enough to be there drive me nuts.

Adam Gontier.:

I don't think people with power in the government should be religious at all because obviously having a belief would therefore give you a bias for your group, I think.

I see where you're coming from, but I think it should be fine for people in office to have religious beliefs - it'd be completely contradicting the free nature of a country to say they shouldn't (assuming there's a freedom of religion in that nation) - but when making decisions, they shouldn't only consider it affecting that group/belief because majority of the time, that specific ideal they have/group they're a part of doesn't represent the entirety of the country they're supposed to be governing.

Vaudeville music is so underrated.

I don't know what dubstep is and I don't particularly care either.

British comedians to me rock the socks off of most American ones.

I still like Charlie Sheen and I respect that he stands up completely for what he does and what he thinks etc even if I don't personally agree with everything.

I dislike memebase.

I don't like having to say the Pledge of Allegiance every day.

^Ha, I don't. (Say it, I mean.)

@caesar. Yeah, I'm from the US. However, I agree with you completely but unfortunately I don't trust people here to act for the greater good & not just their own group. Then again, I don't agree with practically anything of what this country stands on.

I had to do that in Elementary school and if we had morning announcements in Middle school. I hated it. Sometimes in high school we song the POA.

I actually don't mind saying the Pledge. What gets me is having to say the Texas pledge ever since I moved here.

Yeah, I just got tired of singing it over and over and over again.
If we have to, I just sing it and get it over with. I don't say "urgh, fuck this" or something. And the Texas pledge is annoying. I had to sing it everyday in school. I'm just glad college doesn't do that.

Me either. I'm very patriotic (an unpopular opinion in itself), but I don't say it.

I'm British, I think British kids are trashy binge drinkers, and I like that about us. Most people who live here think young people here are rough as hell, and I agree with that, but it's something I actually like about being British. We're a mess and it's glorious.

^ I wasn't a mess or a binge drinker. Or rough.

It's definitely a British stereotype, but not every teenage lives their life like they're starring in Skins. I actually think the majority don't. I mean sure, I know people like that, but not everyone I know is.

You mean it's Worlds Away ;D

But yeah, it's not surprising, it's just odd. I just feel strange hearing people talk about him when I know him for such a different reason. In my head he's still a slightly whiney singer from that band I liked years back, who the general populace didn't know about.

I suppose it feels like a warped case of 'I knew that band before they were mainstream.'

I find this one of the worst things about being British. During the riots last August, for instance, as well as feeling angry, I actually felt quite embarrassed that the rest of the world was seeing what a mess some parts of Britian have become.
I know not every teenager acts like this - I don't act like it, and my friends don't act like it, but unfortunately, there are many who do. You only have to walk into my school on a Monday morning and you'll hear thousands of stories about last Friday's party where everyone got drunk to the point of being sick and then slept with someone they didn't even like. A lot of the time, it's pretty embarrassing to be a British teenager, because we're inevitably all going to be stereotyped as that kind of person.

I agree with this, and while I personally don't mind if people go out and get plastered and have a one-night stand (which I reckon probably happens in a lot of other countries too), I do object to the violent behaviour that a lot of teenagers get up to here. Knife crime, riots, gangs, whatever. I find it shameful.

I don't think most liberals are much, if any more open minded than conservatives. They just have opposing views, but are every bit as hateful/judgmental to their peers beliefs.

We have to do this everyday in school, but I stopped saying it a couple of years ago; I still stand up most of the time, though. I don't really see why it's required. [Well, where I'm from, it seems to be required.] It just seems like we're made to swear an oath every day.

Meh, students have been stereotyped as heavy drinkers since the 13th century in Oxford. I don't see us as getting worse but being pretty much the same.

I mean, I don't drink much or whatever. I don't think stereotypes are a good representation of anyone since it's lazy.

I guess I just find it a little annoying for people to put on rose-tinted glasses and think that this generation is getting worse when history indicates that every young generation has been described as worse than the one who precedes it.
