Are your friends in real life part of the General Public who don't no sh**bout upcoming artists or singles/albums ?

Ain't nobody got real life friends ?

Yes they are, I feel so weird sometimes when they ask me about music because I know a lot more than them

Yeppp

If you're on ATRL...

Yep.

Some of them.

Aren't we ALL technically part of the GP?

Technically.

But I think the OP is referring to the knowledge of how the industry works and/or musical knowledge that most people who aren't stans don't have.

And yes, most of my "friends" are "part of the GP".

Most of them.

Most of them definitely are.

Yes but I made most of them into Carly stans.

All of them are. Even my boyfriend is, he recently asked if "Hot N Cold" was a Pink or Kelly Clarkson song. And then said they're all the same when I told him it was Katy.

Yep.

What "real life" friends?


--

Yeah most of them don't know anything about music.

This.

But I see what you're getting at, OP, and the answer is yeah. At least for the most part. Barely any of my IRL friends care about pop stars or even about pop culture in general. I sometimes wish more of them were more interested in it all because I'm so into it myself.

All of them in fact. The only place I can really talk music is here on ATRL.

YESS!!! for them, i am a freak when it comes to music!! well... except one, he even signed up on atrl, but never posts!

That's a pretty popular opinion

Yes, on the rare occasions where they want receipts or info on a certain artist (mainly Beyonce) they always come to me
