you're wrong and here's why

Description

A phenomenon I've noticed amongst my people (read: nerds) that I truly don't understand is arguing tastes. For example:

Schmuck A: Meh, I really don't care for The Beatles.

Schmuck B: OH MY GOD ARE YOU RETARDED DON'T YOU KNOW THEY'RE ONE OF THE BEST SELLING BANDS OF ALL TIIIIME?!

It doesn't matter if we're talking sales statistics, box office profits, awards or even +watches... taste varies. Something is only as good as the person currently consuming it, and arguing something pop culturey that comes down to personal preference is an excercise in futility. Yet people will still do it anyway.

ETA: Ooh! Forgot to add! Often this comes from taking an insult to something you like as an insult against yourself. I'm sure there's a term for it but it's slipping my mind right now. We as geeks tend to identify ourselves by our various nerdly passions, and hence have a hard time separating a blow against something we enjoy and a blow against US.

Originally this was going to be some random dude but then I realized it was PERFECT for Kenta.
