I was considering making a post knocking Taylor Swift's latest song, but really, what's the point? It's the intellectual equivalent of shooting fish in a barrel. With your brain. Or something.
I will say that it's hilarious how she paints herself - yes, herself, she co-wrote it - in "You Belong With Me" as some sort of social outcast. Everyone jokes about Avril Lavigne's sanitized punkness, but she's way more convincing in that outsider role than Swift. The line that amuses me the most is "I'm listening to the kind of music she doesnt like." Just what's that supposed to be, exactly? Does Taylor Swift listen to Sigur Ros? Talib Kweli? GWAR?
