A Pet Peeve of Mine

So, I'm sure this has happened to a lot of people, especially hard rockers like myself. But this has been getting on my nerves a lot lately.


I like a lot of bands and singers that people have never heard of. But then eventually those bands become popular, and suddenly everyone is playing their music. And that band is no longer your band.



For example:



I knew who Metro Station was before "Shake It" was made popular. I've had their CD since '07, and all of their songs are on my I-Pod. I was quite proud to say that they were one of my favorite bands, even though not many people had heard of them.



Now all you hear on the radio is "Shake It." This was the song I used to sing myself, and nobody else knew what I was singing. Now everywhere I turn, someone is singing that song or it's playing on the radio.



Kate Voegele will be next. I am a hug fan of not only her music but her character on "One Tree Hill" as well. And now here songs are used for the previews for "Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2." Pretty soon, everyone will be singing her music, and it will no longer be "my" music.



I'm not saying I don't want Metro Station or Kate to become popular--I really hope they can become even more successful than they are now. But it's kinna like "I knew who they were before their music was played on the radio." Kinna some pride in me, but not many people know that.


Anyone agree?
