As a teenager of the 90s, that told me right away that I could not relate to this marshmallow at all.

I have absolutely no dog in this fight at all, but honestly this is such a shitty little attitude. Like, nice zing and everything I guess, but seriously—I know so many people who grew up in small towns with no college or community radio, or in religious households where listening to secular music was forbidden whose entree into slightly-less mainstream was stuff like Pearl Jam or Korn or Marilyn Manson or whatever because it was the weirdest things that might slip through the cracks on mainstream radio regularly enough for them to hear it at the mall or whatever. Trying to chirp on someone because they got into music through Pearl Jam or whatever just makes you sound like the clown from that Scharpling and Wurster bit about the guy who can only listen to air symphonies and limp bizkit. The fact that I used to genuinely love the limbomaniacs when I was 13 doesn't preclude me from listening to Albert Ayler while I make breakfast 30 years later.

We're being "that" selective now?

First of all, if you are boycotting a company, why share their marketing videos or press releases? (That's fucking stupid.)

Secondly, it makes no sense to me to revisit the circle jerk of Fuck JHS every other goddam day. ---Why? I don't like JHS either, so I don't bother with it. I don't need anyone else to congratulate me on this or reaffirm my feelings on said company. ----Is it really necessary for others to do this again and again? Once they get mentioned, it turns into a multi-page exercise. The monotony of it is just absurd.

People could be talking about 100 more interesting brands in a critical or positive light----but instead they waste hours and hours of time on regurgitating the same old opinions. Why give JHS the spotlight, at the expense of better, more forward-thinking brands? JHS is a boring and derivative company. I KNOW THIS! And I've heard it 1,500 times. I don't need to hear it 2,000 more times.
