What do you think about the following anecdote from my adolescence (with respect please) ?

[IknowthatIdontKnow09]

I remember one night watching a pop/rock music program in English (this was in Peru) and my grandfather told me: you don't even know what they're saying, maybe they're insulting you and you're happy.

that was actually very common years ago all over Latin America... and yes, mostly from the older generations who were not found of any anglo-influence on the youth

"you don't even understand what they're saying so... why you like it"

nowadays you hear it less and less... lol

An insult that makes you happy can't be such a wrong thing.

Anyhow - Grandpa has (or had) a right to say what he thinks.

Typical anecdote from old folks, conveying sort of patronizing mockery due to a confusion between wisdom and cynicism. That fate is waiting for us all, as we're getting older, avoiding this trap is possible, but it requires some cognitive efforts to deviate from this path.
