In a world(well at least over here) full of whore-crazed songs(male and female), emo songs, war songs and even songs about killing each other; it's uplifting to listen to a franchise where ambition, motivation and dare I say purity, is the main image. Overall, I'm proud to choose energetic, happy songs over sad, talk-about-how-I'm-going-to-have-rough-sex-with-this-slut-esque type songs.
I'm very open to my liking to HP in general; heck I even look up HP in class, which I'm doing right now!
My friends in general listen to lil' john, green day, etc.. Which are OK songs to me, I just don't like the lyrics. "Skeet, skeet, skeet! "
Also, listening to HP really changes your mood. Example #1, I'm always the cheerful and energetic type in my group of friends, while others are emo cause of the song-about-death they listened to that morning.
Example #2, every time I'm in the mood to go out for an intense jog, I put on some fast HP songs to run to.. Puts a smile in my face when you're listening to Ambitious! while running towards the sunset/sunrise as the breeze lifts your hair.. Great way to start/end the day.. Awesome stuff.
I'm sure all of us have been bashed for liking HP, heck I have.. But, it doesn't matter what other people think anyway- it's what you like, and that's that.. Besides, the only reason why they bash is cause they don't like what you like; which is going to apply to everything other than HP.
Keep on rockin' HP! Be over the influence!
HP ROCKS!
