But it's a pointless protest.
It doesn't matter if it's 'Song A' or 'Song B' - no-one has to *like* whatever turgid nonsense that the X-Factor turns out, but a lot of people do. And the people that do tend to be...? The people who dictate the charts - i.e. teenage girls who like teenage boys singing teenage type songs.

Which leaves those of us who have grown up to listen to what we like, without caring about what's in the charts.

For all the difference it'll make you do have a fair point.
I've long since learned those of us who don't give a shit about X Factor, Strictly etc are very much in the minority and looked at funny by those who do. I stopped caring about the charts in about 2002, partly because I was too old and partly because the kind of music I loathe became prevalent about then.
