It's actually OK for people to like different things to you.
Obviously judging by your posts you have a fairly tight grip on what you like in terms of clothing and music and that's fine but you don't have to criticise other folks taste to appear Cool.
FWIW I'm not really young but I like some of the Bands from both your lists, I also like a whole lot more besides. If these Bands are entertaining an audience then they are doing something right.

to be honest when it comes to music im a complete fascist but that's more ebcause these bands are not worthy of the airplay they recieve. The market is saturated with over hyped skinny white boys with guitars and no souls. My rants on music arent aimed at anyone in particular but at the lack of necessity people place on what they listen to. I know it's a personal choice but ive always tried to dig as much as possible to find as many different/original bands as possible. Ive noticed on these boards more attention is paid to a hyped up jam tribute band then to a truly original artist, both of whom have albums out at the moment (the enemy vs M.I.A). I just dont understand societies attitudes towards ordinary and frankly quite tawdry music. Why have strongbow when you can have champagne? One's very easy I suppose but it's superficial and lacking in heart and soul.
It's an opinion, i suppose. but at the same time I get very passionate about music. I try to maintain as broad an outlook as possible (indie/soul/bluegrass/breaks/jazz/pop [in the traditional sense]/power pop etc are all included in my list.
also what would the point of a forum, or indeed any outlet for communication if we all agreed?
