Today, my friend and I were discussing music bands, and I asked who her favorite Queen member is. She looked at me like I was from another world and said, "I don't have a favorite British queen. That's like, so weird." FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I had to explain to a friend that the show writers for Glee did not write "Bohemian Rhapsody" and that Freddie Mercury did not steal the song from them. We're both 17 years old, and she reacted by kicking a chair at me. FML
Today, I realised I like Britney Spears. FML
Today, I saw a girl wearing a Nirvana shirt. Since Nirvana has been my favorite band for a long time, I tried striking up a conversation with her. Turns out she doesn't even listen to them, and only bought the shirt because she "liked the smiley face." FML
Today, my mom mentioned how she loves a certain actor's "British" accent. I couldn't help but mention that there's no such thing, and that there are lots of different accents in Britain. She got pissed and lectured me for "lying" to her and trying to make her feel stupid. FML
Today, my dad forbade me from playing or listening to Queen because Freddie Mercury was gay. FML
Today, I had a conversation about how Victoria Beckham ate fruit salad for her birthday, as if it was an important subject. FML
Today, I went to Britney's concert. About halfway through the show, the person next to me turns to me and asks, "Can you do me a favour?" Thinking that she wanted me to look after her stuff, I said sure. Her next sentence was: "Can you stop singing?" FML
Today, I had to explain to my housemate that the cast of "The Crown" is not the real Royal Family impersonating themselves. FML
Today, my date and I were getting to know each other, and we talked about our favorite music. He's into metal. Trying to impress him, I mention I like metal too. He said his favorite band is “The Gonzorks” and I mentioned that's my favorite too. He looked at me dead and cold and said “Um, actually that band doesn't exist.” FML
Today, a lady told me I looked like Paul McCartney in his youth. With that little confidence boost, I told my girlfriend. I'm not sure what's worse, the fact that she didn't know who Paul McCartney is, or how she is now obsessively Googling pictures of him and is practically drooling. FML

Nice username, I feel the same way. And Freddie Mercury had an awesome voice.

OP's username pretty much says it all. The current generation likes Justin Bieber and Miley Cyrus; they know nothing about real music. I fear for the future of the world.

Well there's only one way to deal with this friend. Shun her.

Just stop it. Why is it so hard to accept that people like different types of music? You can't help your tastes in things. How are we supposed to accept each other if we hate on every little thing? "Oh, you like Justin Bieber, you're an awful human being, you should like the things I like!" Does that not sound stupid to you? It does to me. Like whomever you like, but don't make others feel ashamed of what they like either. Oh, and I do listen to Justin Bieber. I also listen to KiSS, Motley Crue, and Queen. I also listen to Eminem, Nas, and Busta Rhymes. And I happen to listen to Selena Gomez and Britney Spears. You like what you think sounds good, no big.

Mama, just killed a girl who didn't know Queen. Put a gun against her head, pulled my trigger now she's dead.

Mama, life had just begun, but pop has gone and thrown it all away.

This is coming from not only a classic rock fanatic, but a Queen fan as well. You kinda deserved it. Being a fan is one thing, being an elitist prick is another. "What's your favorite member of x" is a question that should only be asked on A. Fan sites or B. With a fellow fan that you already know is huge into them. I dont know the majority of the names of the members of bands I enjoy outside of my top ten. Does that make me a "fuckingbiebler" just because I'm not a creepy stalker or crazed fanatic? Ask me favorite song or album, and that's a totally different (and normal) situation.

Guys, music is music, depends on what you like. Ilisten to old and new stuff, just depends on your mood. But more related to the FML, I'm surprised that OP's friend doesn't know who Queen is!!!

If that's the worst problem you have to contend with, I want your life OP...
