Today, as a limo driver, I had to drive 8 guys for a night-out from their wives. I put the Michigan/Rutgers game on the radio, thinking they would appreciate that. Apparently, they wanted to listen to their "pump-up" songs instead, which were mostly Katy Perry songs. FML
Collection
Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I had a 10 hour drive to Las Vegas with only 2 CDs, Taylor Swift and Jason Mraz, and my girlfriend who thinks she's a good singer. FML
Today, I was singing and drumming on the steering wheel in my car while stuck in traffic, only to realize the car next to me was full of my carpooling coworkers, all staring at me in disbelief. They spent the day at the office requesting songs. FML
Today, I gave my new boss a ride, since his car died. I probably should have checked the music before I started the car; I'm not sure hearing "Grandpa pissed his pants again…" as the opener to a song made a good impression on him. FML
Today, I had to sit in a three-seat truck between my dad and his best friend on a 4-hour trip to Detroit. It was great, besides their incessant crude jokes and stories, including chafing ball sacks, and naming their new radio station, "Chicks With Dicks Radio." FML
Today, I was driving to a blind date my friend set me up on. Feeling pretty excited, I started singing to Katy Perry. I look over to see a man laughing at me, I flipped him the bird and drove off. Little did I know, he was my date. FML
Today, I had to use my husband's vehicle. He has been spiraling into a mean, bigoted man. I got into his vehicle and the radio was on a station that was spewing weird stereotypes of women, and making fun of anyone who is not a hard supporter of a certain orange politician/businessman. FML
Today, I was in the car going to a concert with my family. I was listening to my iPod, when the wheel broke and I couldn't change the song. So for the rest of the trip, I was stuck either listening to my parents arguing, or Don't Worry, Be Happy by Bobby McFerrin on repeat. FML
Today, my Uber driver tried to detour my trip home to take me on a date to Waffle House, even after I showed zero interest and talked about my boyfriend non-stop. FML
Today, after pulling up to my girlfriend's house for dinner with her parents, one of my favorite songs begin to play on the radio. After my 3 minutes of air drumming, I look up to see my girlfriend and her parents bouncing with laughter. FML
Today, I had to drive my drunk parents home from a party. They leaned out the window and barked at everyone we passed all the way home. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Oh shit. I better throw out all my shooter games, better yet ALL my games, girls don't play games. Gotta go throw out all my metal music as well, girls don't listen to that. Gotta throw out any of my sci-fi novels, girls don't read those. Can't wear pants either, or have my hair short. People will think I'm a flaming homosexual. Homophobia is stupid. Stereotyping is even stupider.

I think that the reason for this comment is because men don't generally create "pump up" playlists, also the fact that many Katy Perry songs feature lyrics to teach young women that they don't need a man to be happy and successful (Roar), or that they are not some ugly piece of rubbish they are beautiful (Firework). That's all the Katy Perry songs I know, unless that "all about that base" song was by her. I'm not a fan of modern music, I prefer Led Zeppelin, The Who, The Rolling Stones, Motorhead, Iron Maiden, Metallica and Guns 'N' Roses.

My BF took me to go see Katy Perry in concert (our first non-rock concert). It was one of the best shows we've seen! She's an amazing artist. I hate that guys are stereotyped to only have to like sports and if they don't they're whipped.
junkman6 22
Sorry no. These dudes are whipped. Calling it "pump up" music? Just no. That's like listening to justina beaver and calling it "pump" music. You have to be brainwashed(read whipped) for that to be possible.
Enslaved 38
The OP was the one that called it "pump- up" music not those guys. And why would you compare Beiber to Perry? They're nothing alike. Your point is invalid in this genre.

I'll suffer the dislikes. I'm a guy, sports are boring, and I love Katy Perry.

34- Or maybe they just genuinely enjoy listening to Katy Perry. Nothing wrong with that. She's not really my thing, but her music is still quite fun to listen to.
Phooey 22
#34 don't act like you don't know some of Justin Bieber's song lyric.

I don't at all. The second I hear anything that sounds remotely like him I either turn the radio off or leave the store. I like my mind the way it is, not screwed up by his prepubescent wailing.
Epikatz 22
#37 "pump up" music is a quote, implying it was one of the guys that called it this. Just saying. and while I would agree that they're entitled to their own music choice, Katy Perry is a bit of an odd selection for a guys' night out.

I'm with #38. I hate sports and find them mind numbing. Katy Perry isn't my favorite artist by any means, but I do enjoy her music, and I'd choose it over a sports game on the radio every time.
