I guess the point is I shouldn't feel embarrassed about listening to anything really. If you like it you like it. I just wanted to pose this question to see what people thought. If your response is that I am in fact less of a man, than that says a lot about you. It means you'd feel that way too listening to Linger, also you're probably a child so you don't count. If you thought it was cool, and good idea in general you're probably the type to be more embarrassed being caught listening to bad music then girly music.
I find it interesting how we look at music different depending on our age. When I was a kid I had no opinion, I listened to what my mom did. Then I got older and listened to whatever she hated. Now I listen to what I liked without real regard to who else likes it, with lots of transition in between of course. I don't know how this works with girls. It seems like they start with girly love music, move on to ****ty/dancing music, then perhaps quality music with a mixture of the first two, then finally just quality music or just girly love music. I've also noticed women who like country early on tend to stick with it their whole lives and don't fall into that category. This can be good and bad, depending on your feelings about country, I personally hate it.
Strange how boys grow up to listen to heavy metal rock and rap, generally more aggressive angry music. They're supposed to, at least society tells them to. Then when a kid shoots up a school they blame the music he listens to. Strange. I don't know... rambling.
