With time the web builds up until you see how inconsequential your original goal really is. Truth is irrelevant, all information is valuable regardless of how true it is. It all comes down to what you do with the information you have.
Ooooh, I’d like to see that.

Really?

Ooh, looking forward to that.

No problem.
Yuck. Modern mainstream heavy metal is so generic I wanna puke. I wouldn't tell this song from apart from a thousand exactly the same ones.

Eh, I can't change your opinion so I won't try
