Intro to Obsession

I discuss why I am obsessed with my favorite group Crystal Castles in this piece. My obsession with Crystal Castles parallels my general disposition. Not to say that I am ferociously ethereal, noisy, chaotic or synthetic- like much of their songs, but I am drawn to them like I am to most things. The cliché ‘opposites attract’ applies to me in that subjects that differ from my character appeal to me.  Until my comfort zone is pried open, I come off reserved, even introverted. I am even reluctant to ask the waiter a question at a restaurant. My parents have constantly tried to instill a sense of confidence in my demands growing up. My strong acuities that aren’t apparent every day, are conveyed through my creative side. My drawings and paintings comprise of bright, saturated colors, bold lines, and provocative subjects. The music I play in the car, or in my room beckon the continuous null of  ‘you listen to them’ from friends and family members. You wouldn’t expect me to like the music I do, have a tattoo, or draw what I draw, after first meeting me. Maybe it is just my rebellious punk phase of being a teenager that prompts me to oppose my conservative parents, but I am drawn to things like electronic pop duo Crystal Castles because of how divergent they are from my nature.
