A coworker actually said that to me earlier. I was chatting with a couple of coworkers about music and I mentioned that I liked certain foreign bands. One coworker said that I shouldn't listen to foreign bands because this is America and that I should only listen to American bands. Someone else pointed out that ABBA was a Swedish band (first coworker has told us earlier that she loved ABBA). She then went on a rant about how she can't listen to ABBA anymore because that would be un-American (somehow; I don't even know) and that , unlike me, she could only listen to American bands, like The Beatles and The Rolling Stones.

It's mostly just her, but yeah, sometimes people around here can be pretty stupid.

It was pretty close to what was actually said.

You'd be surprised. People say stupid crap like this all the time.

ABBA or my coworker? My coworker is probably late 30s, early 40s. Dunno for sure. I'm 30 and ABBA was pretty popular when I was young.

Well with ABBA I would think a purist european audiophile would listen to on vinyl, doesn't sound like something I would do. I don't have a record player.

Yeah, but you can tell this is a fabricated conversation.

I can't take this topic seriously now. No one is _that_ culturally ignorant. I get buying local and supporting your own country, but only listening to music made by American bands and produced in America? That's dumb. Really dumb.

This one time I was getting some work done while chilling to some instrumental jazz music. Had no lyrics. A couple of coworkers came by and we started chatting when one of the two chicks literally said that it wasn't music because there weren't any lyrics. That's the second person I've ever met who believes lyrics are necessary to be considered music.

I honestly didn't know what to say so I just kind of laughed it off. But holy shit the stupid in some people is scary.

I 100% believe TC just because I've had this experience. Some people really are just dumb as shit.

A comically high percentage of people don't realize how many pop. musicians in America are actually foreigners (I remember being surprised to learn several artists I liked were of British orgin/Canadian later on) Contemporary Anglo world music can often blur together so much that it is a pretty easy mistake to make I guess.

Lyrics are required to be a song. I don't know what this person is smoking, though.

I had an American exchange student in my class that I tried to befriend a couple of years ago, so we went and ate some pizza after school.
He liked games and seemed to have good taste in music and it went fine. The pizza place had a radio tuned into some rock station, and suddenly it started to play Iron Maiden's Run to the Hills.
You could really see how his face changed when he recognized the song.
Baah, I really hate this song. Just black propaganda by a band filled with N-word, they should forbid this crap being played at all!
I was taken by such surprise so I dropped the pizza slice in my hand.
I had to ask him if he tried to do some bad joke or not, which he said no to.
So I stood up, said that Iron Maiden only had white members and that I would never talk to him any more because of his racistic opinions, and then I left.
A shame that I left half of my pizza.
