I've said it before and I'll say it again: If you don't like the music
you're listening to, maybe you're listening to the wrong music. Try
something else until you find what you do like, and if you don't find
anything you like, then make your own. Just don't sit around listening to
music you don't like and then complain to everyone about how much it sucks.
You may as well eat sushi and then complain to the Japanese about the taste.
Hey, it's not their fault you don't like it!
Personally, I'm pretty satisfied with what I listen to.
