My point is that she is an enormous pop culture symbol, and perhaps symbolic for Japanese commercialism in general, which is perhaps the most "conformist" thing to be into, but you still like her while claiming that you despise the norm so much. And I never said that your mentioning of Emilie w/e was irrelevant, just that you do it a lot. I think you just like to bring her into every subject as if people know or even care who she is.

Well then I'll mention my final point....
That it is, contrary to popular belief, possible to like two artists on opposite ends of the music spectrum.
I will also say that I said something in the wrong way earlier about hating what's normal.
It's not that I hate what's normal, I hate how our society can immediately decide what is and what isn't normal and how the things that are not 'normal' are then shunned by the rest of society.
In all honesty I think more people SHOULD know about Emilie because it is very rare to find an artist as talented as she is. The fact is she deserves being talked about a lot, because otherwise no one is going to know about her.
