People like that are actually incapable of being loving partners. They feel that they are inherently better than you. They seek to control & demean to make them feel better about themselves. It’s a warning sign. Stay away from them. 

Same here - I have a lot of respect for Alanis Morrisette, but I have absolutely thought her music was garbage from day one. I was already a fan of PJ Harvey, and Rid of Me was such a work of genius.

I am a 90s girl and to this day still maintain that Mellon Collie is one of the best alternative albums ever released and that Tonight, Tonight is one of the best music videos ever created.

I feel like sombreros and tequila aren’t cultural appropriation as much as cultural reduction
