It has nothing to do about that JMJ can get 3,5 million spectators for a show
I'm not talking about increasing Jarre Attendance figures It was a generalisation,in that more people turn up so in effect that makes him more Popular and therefore he becomes less appealing to you just because he suddenly has an Upsurge..
I have often liked some bands and so on which became too mainstream so I started not to like it. I don't think I can explane it 100% as I don't know precisely is what is making me dislike it.
I can relate to what your saying In some respects,mainly as i have a very limited "Favourites" List in that I have a large collection of Albums,but mostly from a small group of artists,I don't go for Popular throwaway artist but more Interesting and innovative people,I like a lot of music,but the music I enjoy listening to is a small number of artists,I don't really go for the Fashionable Artists.
Because one of my classmates started listening to a track "Stardust - Music Sounds Better With You" and others started singing the vocals, this track lost some of the details I think makes the track nice.
Nothing wrong with People liking something you already liked,I think to be honest you have a selective personality and don't like to have a shared interest,or perhaps a envious nature,do you ever try to influence your friends into Jarre or is that again something that you would prefer to keep to yourself??
Maybe I just connect famous music with bad music and therefore Im affraid of thinking the same about music
Why...there are a lot of People who have heard Oxygene 4,is that Bad!!!!14 Million Album sales of Oxygene,quite a large number of units sold infact compared to many artists,Probably a great unique Album,not at all Bad is it!!!
I don't like playing music on places I don't like. This has something to do about conencting music with things, so when I listen to the music, I am forced to think about those things I don't like. hmm I may be weird on some points but that's my personality
Music has that emotive Appeal,I know i associatte music with certain places,both Good and bad Experiences,as you grow older you learn to deal with the bad ones and realise that no matter how you associatte them its part of you life,and no matter how traumatic thigns can be you'll become stronger for recognising the cruxes as well as the pleasurable times
Oxygene for me has both good and bad experiences,for one it helped me through my troubled teenage years and also I felt down for a long time but at the same time Probably became a better person as Oxygene gave me Escapism and still does although listening to it now recalls those bad emotions,again I know that I could listen to the album and also slip away from all the troubles
so it holds good and Bad Memories,but again when i listen to it,I can understand how i felt back then and also how my life is now and how priviliged I am to be in this position now,so having bad associations is not just about disliking the Music because of it it can be a good thing in the Long run if it helps you deal with yourself...
