- Yet most girls I've met love hip-hop, rap, R&B, etc. I've seen some close (female) friends with Golddigger (or a similarly misogonous [spelling?] song) in their MSN names, blog titles, etc.

I've always (half jokingly) said that Simple Plan fans are amongst the most self-contradicting, intelligence lacking individuals, but until now I've overlooked the objectification of women in music genres popular among teenage girls.

Plus, both Simple Plan and Hip-Hop fans cannot seem to tell when you're mocking them. Several times I've approached someone with a sarcastic "What's up homey G, dogg?" or "Shut the punk up" and I've been taken seriously. What little wit I have is wasted on these people, I swear.
