Who the fuck actually reads blogs?

I hate people. To save you the full extent of my hatred of mankind, I shall instead focus on one particular group, and, in fact, one particular aspect of that group that makes me hate them. To identify this demographic, I could fluctuate through all sorts of categorizations. I wish that I had some sort of chart that I could use to pinpoint the group exactly. Alas, it is not so simple.

Foremost, this group is comprised of people who deem themselves extremely intelligent. Whether or not they are extremely intelligent does not matter, because it is in the way that they purport themselves that they become dicks. I do not care about whether or not they are "packing the gear" but I'm inclined to say that in most cases they do not. Though, again, that does not matter, it is their shameless self-promotion that I come to hate them. I imagine that many of them have big egos but low self-esteem and feel the need to try to weasel out things they've done or continue to do that make themselves seem smart in conversation so that they can their tortured intellects can finally receive the recognition that they think they deserve. It is with this action that their inner-dickery most often surfaces.

So perhaps, as I define this group even further, it is what medium that they tout their self-perceived intellectual virtues. These self-whoring assholes seem to congregate in all sorts of communities. From conossieurs of video games to conossieurs of things that actually deserve the title "conossieur" i.e. fine wines, these cuntmuffins make appearances everywhere. I do not have time to cover all of them, and so tonight's bitchrant session will be focused on the community of People-Who-Listen-to-Classical-Music-and-Opera.

I love Classical Music, but I am also extremely cheap (I am partly of Jewish descent). Therefore, I do not buy classical music, and instead listen to most of it on Youtube. This is where I most often come into contact with these shiteating self-promoters. Now, I have largely escaped these idiots by listening to more obscure composers. It seems that most of the people who tout their musical preference as being superior to those who listen to Justin Bieber and Lady Gaga or Gangsta Rap tend to only hang out in the comment sections of pieces by Bach, Mozart and Beethoven. I could make a snobbish comment about how the people who only listen only listen to classical music by those three fall into the vast category of idiots who think they're intelligent instead of merely the category of people who may or may not be intelligent but who like to flaunt their intelligence either way, but I won't because I would feel like an elitist prick in doing that. (However, I do think that the people who listen to Berlioz, Liszt and Shostakovich are at least less cuntesque. They could be equally as stupid, but I imagine there is some sort of correlation with people who listen to a wider range of classical music being somewhat smarter.)

But yes, I'd rather escaped these idiots as I began to learn about new composers who had less "noobish" listeners. That is, I had escaped these idiots until tonight.

I used to be a frequent visitor of the forums at The Escapist Magazine. Best known as the website that hosts Zero Punctuation. Soon enough, I realized that that site was also rife with people who think themselves to be overflowing with monumental understanding of the arts, sciences and the human condition. So, my activity there gradually declined. I still watch the occasional video there, and they so kindly list the current Hot Threads on the forums in a sidebar. Tonight, I saw a thread named "Does anyone here listen to Classical Music?" Oh, I should have known. How stupid of me to go into that thread and expect anything to see anything other than a gross display of mass intellectual masturbation.

It was like a repressed memory came surging back to me: "I'm 13 and listen to classical music while my friends all listen to Justin Bieber, it's a shame what the world is coming to." "If people listened to more Bach, the world would be a better place." "Cette musique est fantastique." Make it go away. Make it leave. These dick stroking wannabes cause me extreme pain. They talk about how superior they are because they like classical music, and they tell this to a group of people also listening to classical music. I know I said it's intellectual masturbation, but, now that I think about it more, it's almost more of a circle-jerk. They might as well be saying, "I'm wonderful and smart and so are you." Fucking mouth breathers.

I don't really know where I'm going with this blog entry, and I feel a tremendous fear that I might also come off as one of these jerk off dickweeds. It might be true, and that makes me a hypocrite and that would make me angry at myself, but goddam, I could not go another second without complaining about these cunts. I thought I should write up a section about how I'm actually rather stupid to make myself seem humble after making accusations so as to further myself from the accused. Fuck it, though. If a guy can't just make a rambling blog entry that no one's going to read without getting called out on being a part of the very group he's insulting, then...then...well...then...fuck it.
