HAHAHAHa!! That made me laugh out loud!
I cannot believe people label things like "INTELLECTUAL DRUMnBASS" as
well. Like, what the f*%K??!!
It's so tempting to say, "Oh, I much prefer the dumber kind, like the
ones that remain on a superficial level, in case I miss the meaning of it
all...it's so important not to miss it when you are on the floor"
:)
PS. In case "I" have missed the plot, please let me know which University
I need to get a degree to listen to this stuff...
