I Know it's Only Rock and Roll but I Hate it.

I'm posting this in hopes of getting opinions and advice about my growing annoyance of being bombarded with loud hard rock music everywhere I go. It's in grocery stores, department stores, even dentists offices, and it's ALWAYS on TV, in practically every single commercial.

What's worse, I got a job at a major chain department store that caters to mid-America. It's not Penny'S but it is on a par with Penny's/ The sotre plays mostly rock and roll all day long. At night it's nothing but hard rock. The Killers, Lynrd Skynrd, Blondie, Billie Idol, Swiftfoot, ZZ Top, and on and on and on. The music is loud too. (It's loud in most stores.) Not only that, in the store where I work the lyrics of some of the songs are raunchy. Aerosmiths Walk this Way is about oral and group sex. Billy Idol's Rebel Yell is about, well I can't print the words. Even the song, What's Your Name Little Girl, (don't know the artists) is about picking up a woman at a hotel and staying the night with her, plus a band member "having a go" with one of the guests.

This is just my opinion please you rock fans don't take offense. I hate rock music. It's worse than animals growling and screaming. The electric guitar is the most annoying instrument known to man. I am wearing earplugs to work and night and in most stores. Still I can hear it. Help me someone to understand why this music is the most popular form of music in the world. If you like it tell me why so I can try to understand and learn to live with it because there is no escaping it. If you don't like it please give me some sympathy!

"To me it's not about the kind of music, it's just the fact that no matter where you go there is music. It's incredibly annoying."

Why? Why does music have to be everywhere? Can't people be content with their own thoughts at least for a little while?

[Lakeshark]

Heh. Gotta love those deep lyrics....

[nicmarlo]

Oh dear....

[nicmarlo]

bats? as in baseball or as in winged creatures?

[Hound of the Baskervilles]

And you were the one who mentioned being eclectic.....

"Caught me driving round the block,
And get the courage just to stop
To give you one more promise
Ah caint keeeeep."

[EsmeraldaA]
