Im already a little upset that you went xmetal before omatter.
There would be no xmetal without omatter so its like you skipped over generations of awesomeness and went straight for the snobby pairs....but i guess its ok since youre some hotshot lawyer and all....
I debated how I wanted to answer this all day long...I wrote several drafts of how to express that I never skipped over the O Matter, how they did in fact get me into this way back in my youth, that I had pairs growing up, how they all let me down eventually with stress breaks, etc etc, how XM captivated me when they came out, and only break if you actively try to break them. But....
I kept coming back to your last sentence. That has to be the right answer
