I've been to hundreds and do have the tinnitus but it doesn't much bother me at all. I rarely go anymore because of unrelated reasons, but it was all worth it.
My spouse was admitted to hospital for two weeks and had several geriatric roommates. The nurse asked one of them if she knew where she was, and she yelled "IN SATAN'S ASSHOLE".
Nurse here: we ask 'orientation' questions as part of our assessment
I had a younger patient going through the straights with hallucinations (newly diagnosed schizophrenia)... and I had been asking the same questions (as we do) a lot
So I asked them once again, "Do you know why you're in the hospital?". Their response: "Deez nuts!"
I always appreciate a good "Deez nuts" joke, but that one has been my favorite so far. The volition on their face and the shitty smirk; they're completely tied down with a guard because they would occasionally be violent... but hot damn, that was a zinger.
I counted their response as oriented— they know what they did lol
I could be comatose, damn near brain dead, almost lifeless, and if Rhianna starts singing country I will jump out of the medical bed and throw myself out the nearest window to get away from it.
To be honest that level of overexposure doesn't happen if you totally suck. It was cool to hate on them for a while though. You know, just like it's cool to hate anything mainstream or basic, which is honestly a pretty basic way to view art in general. Like literally all it takes to participate is to notice that something is popular.
Edit: Although to be honest the way media companies love to milk songs to death is super annoying and makes you hate the music. You see it today with trending tiktok sounds. I'd blame this more than the quality of the music.
My grandpa had a stroke and the various Mormon friends neighbors that never said a word to this coffee drinking sailor suddenly wanted to put church choir music on.
He likes Mozart and I will bury you in the backyard if you try
I'm just indifferent to Coldplay and can't even remember who Maroon 5 is. I've also never listened to Billie Eilish, but she has the worst case of resting bitch face I think I've ever seen in my life.
People hate Billie Eilish?? I don't go out of my way to listen to their stuff, but that latest song "lunch" has been getting a lot of radio play, and it's fuckin hot, like what's not to like
