I love Journey. But for some reason I hated, “Don’t Stop Believin” and I could not understand why I loathed that song until I recently rewatched The Sopranos for the second time after 16 years and the final episode had that song playing until the “blackout.” And now I know why…
Anyone else had a similar experience with a popular song that you couldn’t explain why it rubbed you the wrong way?
As an American immigrant, I could never understand why Don’t Stop Believin was so popular here. I even dubbed it the unofficial US anthem. I heard it so much I grew to hate it. Seemed like every drunk white girl at a party loved busting it out. Granted I did immigrate directly into a US college, so my view may be a bit skewed lol. But then on the other other hand, I absolutely LOVE Journey’s Separate Ways. That song hits so hard
