Branded Interests

Anything around us these days is graded in quality not by any factor but by the "Brand" name it carries....i mean i rather pay 600 extra bucks and take a levis jeans then some other similar jeans....{why is an other question....guaranteed quality is my answer & we can fight on that topic another time} but my point is.....anything from Cars to Clothes to Shoes to Watches {thats as far as my needs go} is run by "Brand".
But ever heard about branded "Interests", yeah i know the first thing that comes to your mind is 'How the fuck can interests be branded?'. well i got your answer, most ppl have only broken knowledge in most things they do....Lets take the example of a guy studying engineering from a decent coll for example....most normal decent urban guys have 3-4 things in mind.... ROCK, SOCCER and Southpark {the 4th is dope, booze etc}....
Now for a "idiot" to 'maintain' his cool dude image, he would listen to a few rock songs his friends gave him, watch a few sitcoms that are generally said to be 'intelligent comedy' and so on...although he would otherwise listen to crap and watch crap and be happy and content about it. Now when someone else comes and says he likes Mettalica, all he would say is he loves it, and adores it to the fullest, but really has no idea of the kind of music they actually do...He would generally make his opinion based on the brand value of the interest than on his own feeling...

Let me share few things here.... a few months ago i was kinda obsessed with GODSMACK's Voodoo and Serenity, so was playing it back to back for quite a while...when one such idiot came and told me this, and i quote "dude the pop crap is better than this", but when i said that it was Godsmack and that he should hear the song again he replied back saying...."godsmack is awesome dude...and so is this song", now i ain't saying anything...all i could do is laugh at him...another time he sat behind me when i was watching Southpark, he said Dragon Ball Z or some other crap was better and that i sould stop wasting my time on such stuff, when i told him it was Southpark, his immediate reaction was "OH!!"...and then started raving about how good he felt Southpark was....

I mean there is something called individuality and identity , when these both r molded depending on other's choices...those words ironically loose their main meaning...hope ppl get it...

Well i cant draw any conclusions from this but i can surely say something "Your Interests are YOUR own", it doesn't matter if the world hates them as long as you like it." and it amuses me to think about the extent to which these idiots go to keep up their image, even though everyone knows he is an asshole......well all i can say to them is Amen!!
