While you're just about alright with discovering a new band that doesn't have a bass player (seriously Jack White, can you IMAGINE what you could have done with somebody else to power out all those underlying riffs and notes for you?), one thing you simply can't abide is getting replaced. No hipster worth his salt would bother to learn to play bass, so now the trendiest bands simply replace the meaty rhythm of their songs with a MacBook. Thankfully your friends aren't middle-class enough to be able to afford the hardware or the software, so they're stuck with you for the time being.
