I Still Think Reddit is Retarded

I've been giving reddit another chance, due in part to a friend of mine telling me I really needed to check out the psychedelic rock sub-reddit. I checked out a few other ones, too, but those are just as lame. To begin with, it does nothing but nurture people's need for online validation. Whenever you talk to people about it, they tell you their comment karma, like that somehow means something important. It might; to you. But I don't give a shit if someone upvotes what I say, and I usually post links to obscure psych songs, or occasionally respond to some lost moron who thinks their toaster is haunted because it popped up five seconds earlier than usual. Back tot he psychedelic rock sub, there are maybe a handful of people on there who post interesting videos, and some of the admins seem cool. Everyone else is too busy posting Tame Impala and the Flaming Lips videos, like no one who listens to psychedelic rock has heard of them. Worse, people upvote it, like they're in agreement that they couldn't find access to either band, simply by turning on a psych radio station. It's like saying you love heavy metal and your favorite band is Metallica; you don't. I might continue, but I might now. I have to ask myself if it's worth wading through the typical, unoriginal bullshit just to get to some decent new music, or should I take my chances on Youtube?

I saw Beast in the Field last night.
