yet another misplaced passion of mine

There are a few song lyrics that I truly can't stand. So commonplace and overused. I find myself bothered and depressed at the dulled simplicity of the songwriter's mind.

“Put your hands in the air, wave them like you just don’t care”
“My name is ___ and I’m here to say…”

“Turn around, touch the ground”.


Similarly, I’m irritated by any book, essay, article, etc that regurgitates the clichéd quote “If you want to write, you should start by writing what you know.”
