It took me 16 years to figure out why I hate a Journey song. What song did you hated until you figured out why? - eviltoast

I love Journey. But for some reason I hated, “Don’t Stop Believin” and I could not understand why I loathed that song until I recently rewatched The Sopranos for the second time after 16 years and the final episode had that song playing until the “blackout.” And now I know why…

Anyone else had a similar experience with a popular song that you couldn’t explain why it rubbed you the wrong way?

    Having grown up around so many aging parrotheads, I feel your pain here. I was never a fan either. I should have never stepped into this thread because I have found it much more fulfilling to mostly try to reframe my POV about pop culture things I don’t enjoy: it’s my failing to be unable to appreciate it, not the artist’s or the fans. Mix that with a healthy dose of letting people like what they like (as long as it doesn’t hurt others) and the world around you is a much less vexing place. Thanks for listening to my TED talk.
