I have a pet peeve with the term “music journalist”. I guess technically what I do for Ryan’s Rock Show is a form of journalism, but sadly my image of a music journalist is no longer Lester Bangs. To me, the term “music journalist” has taken on such a pussified connotation within the past few years; I blame blonde 17-year-old screamo girls that do interviews with Bring Me The Horizon cookie cutter bands for dating purposes. In my opinion, a “journalist” is much cooler and more respectable than a “music journalist”. Music journalists are lame like Poison.
