Posted by APOHAKC, 29.05.2008 - 21:09
Some general thoughts and one question, lately, I am irritated by metalheads more and more, damn, I know it has been that way since ever, but... damn! I did not made up things, everything is pulled out of experience with my close friends and people I occasionally hang around.

What I starting to hate is narrow minded of many metalheads that thinks they drink from the pool of wisdom and are here with a reason - to teach everyone things never supposed to be known. First thing I am bothered, a lot, is the fact that metalhead is always right, all non metalheads are stupid, laughable, or just hot, even though they'll never say it in public, so it will be smth like, she is dressed as a whore, she is 100% dumber than a donkey, but on the other hand, they are all attracted to that girl/guy. We complain all the fucking time how people have prejudices toward us, while we are probably worst then them, half of you will totally judge fancy dressed dude, even though that clothes may suits him and he is as good or better person as yo, but do not have long hair, combat boots and some old school t-shirt with lot of blood. Most metalheads I know also Totally judge people by their music taste, damn, if someone likes Britney Spears, it does not means she or he is retard..

What I hate about metalhdeads and is bothering me a LOT in last few months is their classification on true matalheads and posers, it seams I can't be a metalheads anymore, since I cut my hair and do not go oftenly on true nekro metal places but occasionally visit some other place where is not played our music and bartender won't ask me dark or light beer, or some heavier alcohol? IT seams I can't pass as a metalhead if I do not wish to drink 2L bottle of beer with my buddies sitting on the street on the public square and make noise so I can be center of attention, I must have true clothes and white shirt is so out, you can't be even a power metalhead anymore, what the fuck, I'd walk naked if I can, it is 50C outside for God's sake and I do not wish to wear combat boots on that weather, damn people!

Clubing is the worst thing, every time you go to some metal pub, same story, there are group of young blood which are on some silly trial, like trial of manhood in tribal primitive societies, they must know all the songs, wear right clothes etc so older ones will accept them, then we have older ones, I am annoyed by them the most, the fact he/she listen to some music for 10-20-30 years doesn't give him/her right to treat other people without any respect, if anyone have respect for the elders, that is me, BUT DAMN, what a fuck, I don't give a fuck for the whites in your hair if you won't show at least little of dignity and threat people as - people! You was not Bruce Dickinson's buddy, you just listen to him more years than we do, that's all. Then you have cool guys, drinking their beer, not saying a thing, giving the looks to the rest like: yeah, I am the cool guy, mysterious, all girls wanna get laid with me bla bla bla, losers, leaving home without those girls alone every night doesn't give you any clue that you're not so cool and that not all the girls are hot on retards that can't make two sentences that makes some sence! Go jerk of on a vampire porn, their as mysterious as you, retard.

Also, the DARK thing, it seams I can't laugh anymore, that's not so metal, make jokes, not so metal too, you must wear only dark clothes, and speak about meaning of life, cause it is intelligent, yeah, some high-school guy with average grades and no idea of future discovered meaning of life after 4 bottles of beer and rahter wasted night.

List of things I'd blow some heads:

Statements like Cradle of Filth are so bad, Danny is such a poser, damn, if you do not like it, forget it, why are you SO important to say who's bad and who's not, and even if you find it necessary to comment, please, come up with something new and not the sentence said by billion metaldudes before you, because it is in to spit on COF and few more bands, funny thing is that at least half of those people start listening to extreme music through COF.

Things in pubs like, I will totally ignore Helloween or Grave Digger, even Metallica, that is for kids, I will bang my head off when some Technical Deat or Ambiental black starts, I do not know the song, but it is awesome, and that is what grown up listen.

I do not listen to famous commercial bands, I listen to UG bands, ym favorite is exotic Black metal band I found on internet from Indonesia, they have male soprano and female growl and they are so awesome - NO, THEY ARE NOT, they are so bad that it hurts, they just come from ex-communist Asian state, that's all, (no disrespect to Indonesians, I think you'll see the point already)

I read only philosophy like Nitze or Plato, Sure ok, how come you can't finish 2nd grade of high school then, AND MILLION of other things.

I'm not born to visually please the so-called "mainstream" people who think I'd be prettier in generic pastel colored clothes, and I'm not born to please stuck up metalheads who think I'd look better in a Venom shirt.

Fuck Venom...

But if you wear a Lurker Of Chalice tshirt I will fly down there and knock your door with some flowers and chocolate.

I want to add that some of metalheads think they are some ghoulish special devil creatures, Nah you're just another decaying matter in this mad world, they got some illusions that they are haunted or possessed by dark side... and they should act devilish its so lame.

Pretty interesting read...

I ask though (only as a question), if you listen to Metal (in any genre) - is there a certain persona/requirement that must be followed/fulfilled ?

Are there certain requirements that must be met, to be seen as a Metal enthusiast ?

Is there an expectation to be followed ?

If so, why would it be necessary ?

(This is in no means questioning methods or lifestyles of others)

I say this, as the more I read into Metal Storm's discussions - I find myself asking these questions...


My listening habits (after making the Metal genre(s) switch 10 years ago) has brought only isolation and it has been a solo endeavour from the very beginning, the never-ending search for music is always constant - leaping from one genre to the next (and its sub genres etc). It has been an incredible journey and I look forward to the future...

I don''t own many physical copies of CD's/vinyl - but it is an increasing pile (the rest is in MP3 purchasing), and I own a couple of Metal tees... That's it...


Would I be recognised as a Metal fan or enthusiast ?

Kind of like how I go to your mom's bedroom when I want to feel good about myself!

I always wear my most metalist of metal clothes too. Only leather patch-work jackets with patch-work denim vests over it. Ripped up black jeans, studs and spikes everywhere.

Wearing Metal tee's in office honestly is awesome. like in any other office, we have some offbeat shit formal clothes to cover our body up and so do out attitude..bleh.

anyways, on the first day, i wore a Slayer t shirt to the office and boy! i was catching up some really vicious eye looks on me. Boss told me "Okay. first day and I suppose something wrong out here...Yes your clothes." I was like okay puppy.

but its fun to wear some Metal accessories to office and do some real office work. It's like push the fucking sales up buds, we need some aggrandize profits.

You sound like you're asking for the health benefits of a job.
Dude, Metal is all about expressing yourself and being yourself. Don't care what others think or do. That's typically how metal came to be. I don't wear any metal attire (band shirts, leather, long hair), yet I own over 100 CDs. The music is what's important. You can like whatever you want. Don't let anyone else tell you different.
If you can't deal with all that, either don't bother listening to it or listen to it in your closet (metaphorically speaking).

Lol @ the health benefits comment - I completely agree with what you're saying though.
To be honest I've never really given it much thought before, but seeming how the community of MS has different backgrounds/interests etc. I became interested in the subject as a whole, to get different opinions etc. or what is important to them.

Pretty much. Be yourself - an individual. Make up your own mind and don't let others influence your opinions. Accept that people will always laugh at you no matter how much you try to conform. And some people will laugh at you for trying to conform. It's a no-win situation and there's no point in caring about what other people think about you. Listen to whatever the fuck you want and chill.

In fact, that doesn't mean you're restricted to metal. It doesn't even mean you have to listen to metal at all. I guess it's more of a life philosophy that seems to be better represented by the metal legions... :/

Ok the opening post... Man you ARE RIGHT !!!!!

fuck... you're a genius, I wouldn't have said it better myself.. not only sometimes, most of the times they anoy the fuck out of me.... at shows, at work, in the street... at bars everywhere, some of them obviously are nice.. im not saying they are all morons, but when I see one judging for physical traits or musical tastes it makes me wanna punch a face. DUDE ! you're doing exactly what you fight against.. lol anyways. And for the jokes though -_- I don't see what you mean there, I thought everyone liked jokes.... who doesn't like a good laugh ! eh eh

though I must say im not perfect myself, I gotta admit I hate the whole pop culture, but lots of my friends do listen to pop music and shits I hate, that doesn't make them assholes or idiots... just different than me thats all.

oh and the guy who said he loved his Cds, man I feel you... I never download, I order.. fuck I love my cds, I have to get the physical copy else I don't buy it -_- you can think its lame I don't give one simple fuck. If I could polish them, I'd probably do it lol... and for the whole individuality thing, yeah ur all probably right, but eh, I love wearing my bands shirts and ripped jeans ... does that make me one of those anoying fucks ? I don't think so, its just personal tastes...

They can be rechargeable but in the series of Walkman I think it ain't possible and if it is, it comes in the higher value which people tends not to buy it.

Rechargable AA batteries for Walkmans can be bought, just as there are recharable bateries for ipods.

Like Lithium batteries can really work out for I Pods which I think for Walkman inevitably doesn't work at all.

You need AA batteries for walkmans, and recharageable AA batteries wrok fine for walkmans. Ffs I used to use them myself until my walkman broke down.
