^^^ Actually, for a moment I thought there had been some massive social changes in my sleep (unlikely), or perhaps that this sort of thing goes on more often than I suspect and for reasons unknown I had remained oblivious (getting warmer), or that someone somewhere had decided that Seoul was worth a stopover for, and convinced others (it could happen).

But yeah, I don't think I could picture anyone who was born in Korea listening to and enjoying any of those bands. I admit I tend not to actively seek out Korean music, but it seems to consist mostly of pop, pop, pop, adult contemporary and pop.

And I would have settled for a short Circulatory System set followed by an encore with Jeff Magnum, where they did a psychedelic version of 'Engine', and the end of it breaking into a group chorus.

Artsy people are all right. I prefer the laid-back personalities of artsy, indy, hippy types. But I've noticed this with a lot of the people: the more artsy someone looks, the less artistic talent they tend to have. Some of the most amazing artists I've met looked like normal, everyday people.

I think saying that "I only want to hang out with people of x group," is stupid. I say this because I grew up in a small town that was/is (I don't know anymore) very cliquey, and I missed out on getting to know a lot of people because we just hung out in our cliques growing up. I will say that there are certain kinds of people that I tend to become good friends with. However, I don't consciously limit myself to one particular group anymore. Why limit your experiences? Keep an open mind, and you could have more fun!

This entire thread reminds me of the conversation marge and homer had with part and lisa after LULLAPOLOZA.

Homer: So I realized that being with my family is more important
than being cool.
Bart: Dad, what you just said was powerfully uncool.
Homer: You know what the song says: "It's hip to be square."
Lisa: That song is so lame.
Homer: So lame that it's... cool?
Bart and Lisa: No.
Marge: Am I cool, kids?
Bart and Lisa: No.
Marge: Good. I'm glad. And that's what makes me cool�not caring, right?
Bart and Lisa: No.
Marge: Well, how the hell do you be cool? I feel like we've tried everything here.
Homer: Wait, Marge. Maybe if you're truly cool, you don't need to be told you're cool.
Bart: Well, sure you do.
Lisa: How else would you know?

I don't usually permit myself to expess who I am in public, but I am one who would probably not be classified as mainstream. However if you're in interested in the path to true height of the Himalayas, I can provide part of the key.

since MSTRKRFT was brought up, is there a venue in Seoul where one can scratch their electrohouse or electroclash itches?
