Open Mind

If curiosity killed the cat, I must say lack of curiosity kills culture.
It's a bit of an understatement of course but it has to be said.
In those days of mass media communication, I feel like there is a bit of curiosity and open mindness missing around.
As stated before, People tend to go buy what everybody is talking about. And more than that, they don't usually do a review of it. People buy, consume and wait to buy the next one.
Not that all that is in the spotlight is bad, of course not. Hopefully not. But People do wait for the next article to tell them what to read... and the more general the source is the more they stick to the usual suspects.
People lack open mindness. Try to find by themselves, or to hear good journalists and critics that actually do some research to find new interessant stuff.
Sure it has a cost but the worst one is that you'll find something you will like. Almost everybody started small before becoming household names.
On the other hand, snobbery must be kept at bay... Why most of People feel like theit artist sold out because the 'common' People starts taking interest into him... It's just a matter of liking and feeling and what makes you tick.
Go forth and try something else... because a guy told you you might like it, as I said before... The worst that could happen is that you will like it.
