I want to be intimidated by the unfamiliar, not be assured by the familiar. I want to hear something I haven't heard before that sounds like nothing I have heard before. That's why I still love real pop music even though I'm the same age as you. And that's why I listened to John Peel. Don't give people what they want, give them what they need. I've subscribed to your magazine because I know it will tell me something I don't already know, introduce me to some music that surprises and delights and maybe intimidates.
