maybe it's a bit much to say people are thinking like 13 year olds..... But do you see the same contradiction that I'm seeing when you are critical of someone saying that....yet freely say "don't talk about anything else but the music" it's like saying...Narrow down the discussion.....limit the discussion....pretend the music exists in a vaccum...

there's a contradiction there...

it's not cool to say people are not "mature" who like this....but it's cool NOT to look at this in a mature manner.
