Girl-with-the-Thorn
Still here.
Hi, I'm Charlotte, and I'm a music obsessive. I've only become one in the past few years though, and I'm constantly looking for new stuff to add to my collection.
You've basically just described me. Apart from the vinyl. It was Green Day for me too, at about 12 or 13.
I definitely am. It's funny though, it didn't matter that much to me until I was about 11-12. Only my dad ever really played records, and I didn't like them (although I appreciate some of it now). That and top 40 pop was all I heard, so I thought I just didn't like music. Ashamed to say it now, but it was Green Day that changed everything for me. And then once I realised how good it could be* I was hooked. I'm a complete obsessive and geek now, over 27GB of music on my computer and more on vinyl. I rarely meet people who know more about the types of music I like than me. Not sure how many hours I clock up a day, but it's a lot...
*Obviously, retrospectively Green Day aren't very good. I never listen to them anymore. But when I was 11-12 and starting a new school and had no friends, got bullied and hated everyone, they meant a lot to me..
