Christmas!

Do stupid kids seriously get cars and ipads for Christmas in America?

 

[dilla]

Pretentious cunts. I feel bad for true Christians that slowly see their holiday turned from celebration to straight up commercialization and gluttony. Maybe its because I feel I have more than I need and haven't asked for anything in years.

 

[Flipmo]

Masta - Yes, some do...

To me it's ridiculous how can you ASK your parents to buy you a car for Christmas. I mean, I would be pissed and send my kid to work.
I would probably help my kid with getting his own car but damn, if he actually thought that I owe it to him I would think that I failed as a parent.

It's probably a bit different here since people usually buy themselves little things and are happy to get anything, so that's why it annoys me more perhaps.

 

[Jokerman]

Fuck my Dad for not buying me a house for Quanza.

I fucking love my iPad and new car

A lot of those kids seem to be 16-18. In America, it's kind of customary to buy your child a car once they turn 16 (and get a license). So it's possible that some were waiting for Xmas to get the car. That's for, I guess, the relatively well-off families. It's all credit in America, man, you can buy whatever the fuck you want no matter how much money you have in the bank. But yeah, the kids are so spoiled.

The thing about iPhones being a status symbol is what pisses me off. The cleverly calculated marketing of it on a psychological level. It's like the Beats by Dre headphones. If you wanted good headphones rather than "ones that are cool" you wouldn't fucking buy those because there's WAY better headphones in the same price range.

Anyway I just asked for money towards new pro audio equipment. I'm a minimal person, I don't much care for things that are enjoyable but not productive, I pretty much only want things that are both. Although, my sister did get me the new Zelda for Wii which I'm pretty happy about, probably won't get a chance to play it for a while though.

And.... A lot of kids are buying the fake Dre Beats headphones. It's moronic.

Like I have said before. What is the point in plugging high end headphones into a device playing 192k rips.

That, and all those devices destroy hearing. Anyone here looking for work, get into the hearing profession.

You know what I do? I download my music from RapGodFathers or through a YouTube downloader, put them on iTunes, and then on to my iPod Touch WITH the white, stock headphones that came with it.

You know why?

Because I don't give a fuck about sound quality. If I can't hear what the dude is saying, I look up the goddamn lyrics online and memorize them.

 

[Pittsey]

What if the music is instrumental.... You can't memorise the lyrics to a Bach or Handel masterpiece.

 

[dilla]

Yeah but then I listen to it not on headphones. My parents' cars all have premium sound systems so most songs sound great while driving and the rest we listen to on a Bose system.


My point was I am not an audiophile. Is that the right word? I'm not an aficionado that needs perfection in quality.

 

[ARon]

I'm nowhere near being an audiophile and still know YouTube rips sound like shit.
