"I walked into a gunfight with a knife to kill you
And cut you so fast when your blood spilled it was still blue
I'll hang you til you dangle and chain you with both ankles
And pull you apart from both angles
I wanna crush your skull til your brains leaks out of your veins
And bust open like broken water mains
So tell Saddam not to bother with makin another bomb
Cause I'm crushin the whole world in my palm"
. Don't tell me you hate the world? OH NO! I need to call the FBI now. (just joking)

Popular pop-music.

OK, I'll specify. Is it about pop music like Katy Perry and Jason Mraz, or popular music like Three Doors Down and Evanescence?

It is about pop music like Kate Perry and Jason Mraz, and specifically popular music from them like "Hot N Cold" and "Thank God It's Friday Night" (I don't know who Jason is).

I listened to this a lot when I was being cyber bullied and imagined I was saying it to the people who were bullying me and imagined I was doing those things to my bullies. It was very theraputic.... I also imagined it to the people at the zoo who wouldn't let me interact with the meerkats and earler today at the local vet who dosen't want any volunteers becuase "it's too crowded". I actualy get that a lot with vets. But hey, at least my mom dosen't think I'm evil anymore for liking this verse so much.

I used to try and pretend that I didn't, but they got me in the end
I know in my head that 'mainstream' music is naff, but my heart loves to dance to it, lol.I don't like most radio music, but not because it's popular usually. A lot of the time it's too vulgar for me, and offensive to my sensibilities, especially being Christian and all. It took me a while to admit that I like a handful of Lady Gaga songs, though. Generally songs I like on the radio tend to be dance/pop songs that somehow make it to the radio, ie, Edward Maya - Stereo Love http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dy2nBvtkgyE . I love that song, it's great. But songs like that are rare. I like romantic music, but it seems most pop music has crossed the line these days too far from romance to "I LIKE FORNICATING WITH CHICKS AND AM VERY GOOD AT IT, YEAH!"
Actually, almost all the music I listen to is technically pop, but it's either older, from the 80s and 90s, or it's obscure, like eurobeat, eurodance, and happy hardcore. I listen to some more like, complex stuff, too, that's not completely saccharine pop music, but on that spectrum, it's like, jazz, and old Japanese electronic music like Yellow Magic Orchestra and stuff like that.
I used to listen to metal and rap and whatever when I was younger, but then I realized I simply like girly dance music more than it, and that those genres alot of times weren't very positive, and just simply weren't me.
So now I drive around, system pumpin' in my '84 Supra, a 20 year old heterosexual male, blasting this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2PrYKtahrWU
One thing, my friend who took psych, he noticed that most of what I listen to is pop music. So he theorizes that emotionally I'm like, not as mature as other people, because with the music I listen to, it's sorta similar to the Aspergers and My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic connection. My verbal IQ is like 130+, but my nonverbal IQ was like 80 or so, so thus I got the diagnosis of NVLD, and yeah.
But, you know, I like my girly pop music, so whatever.

When it comes to today's "Pop" music, I enjoy the synthesizer music behind the curtain more then the actual singing itself. This is why I am for the most part partial to "Trance", "House", and other forms of almost pure electronic music.
As I type this, I am listening to the O-zone music station on Pandora with a smile on my face
