I’m starting to hear more and more and more about how people with iPods are posers and wannabes and losers and posers. I don’t understand this.
I DO understand how people have been succumbing to pop culture since the beginning of time, and how advertisements affect people’s spending habits. But I don’t see how the fact that you have white earbuds coming out of your head makes you totally lame. Last time I checked, it was actually the musical content of the iPod itself that determines whether you’re “scene” or not. 😛
This is not to say that I think it’s worth the money, nor are there no better alternatives (iRiver, for instance). But I hate getting looks just ‘cuz I have an iPod and I find it very, very easy to use in the case that I’m walking across campus and I want to listen to my entire library of music.
BTW, I got it for free, so IN YOUR FACE, CRITICS.
(On a similar note, I think I dropped my iPod one too many times and the hard drive makes a little clicking noise whenever it tries to accelerate, preventing it from starting up properly (folder icon with caution icon). Fortunately, I’m under warranty so Apple’s going to ship me a nice little box and I’m going to give it back to them, and they’ll send me a new one. This’ll all have to happen when I come back from school though, since it’s being shipped to my college box…)
I know exactily what you mean. BUT they DO have a point. iPods are a complete status symbol, like little fuckin’ louie viton handbangs *PUUUUKE*
It’s not about the iPod, it’s about those little white fuckin’ headphones. Those headphones are so damned uncomfortable and shitty. Get a proper pair of headphones for christ sakes! You would if you had any sense! (talking to the general public here)
But no, if they change the headphones they’re not little cultists anymore.
If I’m going somewhere wearing no sort of bag or anything, the earbud headphones are the only way I can put them away so that they’re non-intrusive. I don’t want big, ear-covering headphones with a plastic strap around my head. What do you suggest I use instead when I just want something I can unroll and put near my ears?

These.
They are the BEST FUCKING HEAD PHONES EVER.
Pick em up in any borders for $10. Cheap, excellent, comfortable, wonderful, I love them, they are the best in the world I cannot rave about these headphones enough. I gave them to steve, steve <3s them.
Okay then I will get them.
Ewww, some people are selling them used.
oh that IS eww.
i like the fat headphones cause they sound nice, and the virgin pulse head phones i got have noise canceling, and they fold up into a nice case.
also, lots of phat bass for all the phat beats.
“those who said money was the root of all evil never had any” – boiler room.
Then again, I got it for free, but even if I didn’t, yes, I agree.
That rhymes.
Oh did your iPod come with an invoice or something? Mine didn’t, so even if it is under warranty I don’t know if I have a way to prove it.
Mine didn’t, actually. But fortunately, all I had to do was enter its serial number (on the back of the iPod) and when I bought it (found on freeipods.com), and that was all the info they needed.
I don’t have an ipod I have a muvo by Creative, and I love it. But people always ask me if its some kind of ipod. It came with white earbuds, and after trying to wear them I can’t understand why the majority of the campus wears them! I wear my old headphones now because they don’t hurt my ears, they don’t fall out, etc. But I do think its become a status symbol in a way. which is really weird when you think about it… but i’m sure when the next really cool expensive toy comes out then we will all have to have those too. 😉
My take on the headphones, open for suggestions.
and vice verca
now days, its not cool to be cool.
fucking hipster douchers.
