New CRC hates music.
And my German isn't good enough to do any sort of in-depth analysis that doesn't involve ChatGPT as well.

New Oh, bullpucky.
I have nothing against actual music. I even actively listen to it, sometimes -- just not all the time.

What I hate is muzak. And even more so, the habit of far too many people to drfizzle[1] their brains in music / muzak all the frigging time, to the detriment of their attention to the real world around them. (Also, I strongly suspect drizzling one's brains in something all the time turns any music, however great it was to begin with, into effectively muzak.)

That apparently hit too close to home for some, so they twisted it into "CRC is weird, he hates music".

Oh well, if it helps them cope, I probably can't stop them pretending that was what I said.


[1]: Typo, but so good I'm leaving it in.

I've spent an unreasonable amount of thought on the line Janet sings in Rocky Horror: "His lust is so sincere". Now, on the surface, that's a big "DUH!" because that's the nature of lust. But wait: Brad has earlier sung about how hot he is for her, and it's pretty clear he's just being conventional. Brad's lust is not sincere.

Now, I could swill green mead and gnaw raw meat with sincere lust. As for kimchee and lutefisk, well, those would be just for effect. And if I'm just going for effect, I might as well wear a tie. And pants.
