Yup. People who put down other people for their interests are just trying to
boost their own egos by putting down those of others. It just goes to show
how limited their "Adult" scripts actually turn out to be. Its much better to
follow the Apollonian exortation to "know thyself," and to worry more (or
exclusively) about what's going on in your own eye rather than worrying about
what's sticking out of your brother's eye.
What's truly immature is following what other people think in terms of music,
fun, fashion, sexual behavior, etc. Others just don't signify in these
matters! You're much better off just following a sort of Dionysian "If it
feels good, do it!"
