I find it interesting that I’m the one denying the experience of others when
you are doing the same thing on the other side of the debate. Clearly some of us here are fine with the booking. I guess I can’t argue with you and your bff who are clearly the entire target demographic for Pitchfork. Shrug
cpf asked how/why some people didn't like Alanis. All I did was take the time to explain the perspective some others--NOT ALL--have of her.
As part of that, I said:
1. If people want to like Alanis and her music because they have fun memories of being a little kid and hearing her, clearly they can.
A lot of other people [THAT DOES NOT MEAN EVERYONE] don't really share the same feelings, though, because we saw and experienced her music through a very different context back in the day.
2. she does not have cred with
a lot of people [AGAIN, NOT EVERYONE] who have been part of Pitchfork's audience in the past
3. I also never said she had no cred at all--clearly, she does with
some people. [some people = not everyone]
Literally where at all am I denying the experience of others?
I thought it was obvious, but if you're not on one of the "some people" I was mentioning, then I wasn't talking about you. If I wasn't talking about you, then stop making it about you.
I'm not taking anything away from anyone.
I'm not saying your experience is wrong or bad.
I'm not saying you don't have the right to like her.
I'm not saying other people didn't have positive experiences with her and her music.
I don't even know why you're being contentious with me other than that you're misreading what I'm saying and then taking offense to things I didn't say.
You say you can't argue with me, but I'm not even sure what there would be to argue about because I'm not trying to convince anyone else what they should or shouldn't feel. All I was doing was talking about how I feel and how others I know feel.
