    You have to find a girl first.

        It's just...it's ridiculous. A complete lack of awareness and intelligence. It's like someone never hearing about the movie Star Wars, or like...which year the colonies declared independence from Britain. There are some things you just KNOW.

        I bet that chick who doesn't know Billie Jean knows everything about the Jersey Shore douches and Katy Perry (or whoever the hell).

        I can't deal with a chick who's that oblivious.

            To each his own. That just seems like a lot of assumptions to make off of one thing. I guess because music isn't that big of a deal to me I don't understand

              Actually, she never mentioned Jersey Shore, but she did list House Wives as one of her shows that she keeps up with.


              The thing about the song wouldn't bother me enough to not ever see her again, but I think its odd when people aren't aware of major pop culture topics. It would be the same as not knowing who sang Hound Dog.

                Exaaaaaaactly. It's not "not knowing" that specific SONG that's the problem. It's what it reflects overall.

If she doesn't know who MJ was or what his songs were like, I'd take the opportunity to teach everything I know about him.

I mean there's probably plenty of things in pop culture I may not know about, so I can't take it out on others like that.

                        Honestly I could care less if I were you. I wouldn't know what song it was if I heard it, I would figure out it was MJ singing it eventually, but I've never been into Michael Jackson or pop music of any kind an I'm a musician. Every one has their own thing, not being able to identify a song or an artist is not cause for a red alert of any means, now if extreme ignorance becomes a pattern then sure, but not over just this.

                          But when I do I'll be sure not to judge them based on if they know Michael Jackson or not.

                            Right and I would gladly do that as well, but its more surprising than off-putting to me. Surprising in the sense that MJ is one of the biggest pop culture icons of modern music and his songs are basically engrained into our DNA. Also surprising considering this girl is a professed dancer as I'm sure she would have heard it enough to figure it out in her 27 years of existence. I don't look at her negatively because of it, but it is still rather shocking when those moments happen.

                              Not quite as old, but I watched The Matrix yesterday for the first time in a few years. Forgot how much I like that movie.
