Jersey

I know it's silly to state the obvious, but I'm going to do it anyway. The funny thing about the Jonas Brothers is that they're like me in almost every way. I'm not British or a philosopher; I'm not African or a war refugee. I'm not from the South or California; I'm not a New Yorker; I'm not an immigrant; I was born in New Jersey and have lived in several different towns there since I've moved several times like most Americans do; I don't speak any other language than English; I don't like hip-hop or rap; I'm young and not old; I'm a boy and not a girl; I like Taylor Swift. My demographic background is like a blank on which nothing interesting is written.

But at least the Jonas Brothers are super cool and really modern, from 2005, and with this album from 2009. (It doesn't technically count as a regular studio album, but I'm not sure exactly why. I guess it's more like a live album.) And they have all these screaming girls as their fans, like home-grown Beatlemania, and they got Taylor Swift to perform with them, too. They've been on Disney and they're almost like One Direction, except they're from New Jersey.

But anyway, I like this music; I really like it. It has a good energy to it. It's very positive. It's about love and it's rockin', and the live concert screaming girls aspect of it is a plus. I like pop. This is very good pop. It's popping.
