Hey, I'm pretentious

[HEyHEY]

Oh yes... I am. Or at least that was what my roomies came to as a conclusion based on our argument. I Argued that Tom Clancy and J.K. Rowling aren't as good as Dostoevsky. I said, The first two may be good story tellers and have a decent imagination. But they don't really have an impact on society and unlike the latter, don't have anything about their actual WRITING that makes them special.

Then I attempted to make a comparison between Bob Dylan and Blink 182, I said Dylan's songs had deep meaning, where Blink is just kinda shallow feel good tunes for fun.

I was given the argument, "What about 'Adam's song, it may not mean something to you, but what if someone didn't kill themselves because of it?" Then the got into the "subjective viewpoint" argument.

Subjectivity is an excuse people use for being worthless artists, musicians, writers.

Your thoughts?

EDIT: You know, sometimes it's REALLY hard not to yell incoherrent stuff at people.
