I don't know, I find that I can't stand WMJX for long periods of time. All the songs tend to
sound too much alike. It doesn't offend me in small doses, but if I had to listen to it for a
long time, I think I'd get very annoyed.
And I suspect teenagers might feel that way even more so. Kinda reminds me of the story a
few years back where a store owner didn't like teenagers hanging around outside his store,
so he started to play a steady diet of Frank Sinatra in the area where the teens were hanging
out. Presto! No teens!
