I imagine people like what they like, because they... like it. Otherwise if you're claiming to like something just to be "cool", then that's not genuine at all. Seems very "hipster-ish". lol
lol, you're using the H-word in vain, in a PORTLAND thread. Lord have mercy on your soul.
Was just calling the logic how I see it. In these fan forums, I assume that people genuinely love the music. I've never been to Portland, but your comment leads me to believe that it may be similar to Austin, where the motto is "keep it weird". I'd love to visit Portland, I hear the city is beautiful.
hahah Portland is the hipster capital of the universe and it's not close! I didn't know that was Austin's motto... there's a pretty famous saying/wall in Portland that is "keep portland weird"
Austin had the motto first. Terry Currier, owner of Music Millenium, co-opted the motto for Portland after a visit to Austin. He started the movement here. Printed and sold bumper stickers. The mural is across from Voodoo Donuts in Old Town.
OK, you've sold me (not that I don't like the song - I think it's great - but they've played it live a total of 0 times in 30 years, so I'm definitely not holding my breath (although, now that I say this, I'm sure it will be the only request played. Then I will have to track you down and kill you for violating MY RIGHTS.
Anyway, I've updated MY RIGHTS.

The #2 thread on this forum, a Pearl Jam forum, is titled Alternatives to Pearl Jam. Who is this heretic and why are MY RIGHTS held in lower regard? The alternative to Pearl Jam is always Pearl Jam, or at least Pearl Jam. KNOW MY RIGHTS!!!
Now the #2 thread on this forum is Worst Pearl Jam Song - there is no worst Pearl Jam song (except for Thumbing my Way, which IS the worst Pearl Jam song of the classic Pearl Jam era [up to Avocado]) - otherwise, all Pearl Jam songs are the greatest Pearl Jam songs.
MY RIGHTS know they can often be annoying to others, and they appreciate that Sea has not excised my thread from this forum (like the blasphemous Alternatives to Pearl Jam thread which has been relegated to non-Pearl Jam thread oblivion), but MY RIGHTS would like me to remind you that they are born of frustration and can only be assuaged by total submission to MY RIGHTS, which have been stipulated elsewhere in this thread. At that time, and only at that time, MY RIGHTS have assured me that, like the cicadas, they will return to their source only to emerge at the time of the next Pearl Jam tour. This according to MY RIGHTS.
