Xmas music is manipulative. I don't like to be manipulated into hyper capitalism and religious bigotry.
Oooh, I was going to let this this conversation slide but you've actually just nailed it right it the heart of the issue.
That's EXACTLY what it is! FUCK! I HATE music that tells me what to feel and I HATE being told to buy shit. I want to have holidays, I really do. I love my family and I love not being at work. It's just kind of hard to enjoy it knowing it's all at the cost of our health and prosperity.
Don't even get me started on the mathematical theory of manipulative music. There's a whole equation for how many times you can repeat the hook of a song to make sure it makes the top 40 charts in the US
RRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH
And it’s starting earlier and earlier. Used to be you start hearing it on the radio after Thanksgiving, now I expect to hear it after Halloween.
