In terms of the Flipside thing... the reviewer obviously genuinely hated the CD; hes an indie hipster, obviously he wouldnt be jealous of some house music producers/DJs/MCs

The same way I would be able to genuinely hate an indie rock CD.... its not because I am jealous of them, I just actually hate the music

That said, obviously someone like me would be in no place to review an indie rock CD!
Stupid NOW!

BTW this probably should have gone in the other thread...

There are only 2 reasons why people hate

1. they're jealous/envious/insecure etc
2. they're retaliating to someone else's hate directed at them

EDIT: For the purpose of the Flipside thread, that is just journalism, you can't include that in my observation above.

LOL, do you really believe that?


See this is what I mean. Why are people so seemingly afraid of hate? Why are people only willing to embrace "good" feelings? We're not robots, you know.

I mean, I'm not saying one should make it their life's goal to hate on everybody and everything...but one can't deny that it's a perfectly natural and sometimes healthy way to feel. That is, unless you're a carrot.

No but think about it. I am talking proper hate - not 'that girls shirt is hideous', her shirt probably is. In fact, that hate statement is just retaliating to her wearing a fucking awful shirt.

As I edited, the Flipside thread doesn't count on that either - that journalist wrote that because he knows the majority of his readers are house music dislikers and therefore is elevating his status to them by ripping it apart. It's like asking me to review a steak. I wouldn't even eat it so where's the value???

Anyway, back to your point, it is a healthy way to feel but why are you feeling that way? Perhaps we should talk examples. Every time I have hated on something (apart from awful taste) it has been with one of those 2 reasons behind it, usually number 2. I am not a jealous or envious person, I am very contented in who I am and how I look and the circle of friends I have and how much cashola I have etc.

I have also been the target of hate with absolutely no explainable reason behind it except some form of jealousy. I am very introspective and whenever anything happens, I always ask myself what I did that led to the consequence and how/if I could have been better in some way. People are vicious Jenny, you may only hate because you can but for every one of you, there are 1000 people who fit into my categories.

So, what about if I hate asparagus? Am I jealous of it?

If you had a shirt with an asparagus spear on it, I would hate it

No no...you're right and I agree with that. But those aren't the only reasons people hate (though I would agree they are the majority). Sometimes people just plain hate!

I agree with this completely.
When I hate asparagus, it's a simple dislike and no one questions it.
When I hate jennypie, all of a sudden I'm jealous of her. I mean, can't a girl just hate another girl?!

Jealous whore!
