you got tricked

Man, metal rap was HUGE here in 98/99. I started college here, and I was floored by how many of these ATL urban art school types were all about the Korn and Limp Bizkit.

Did you ever see some local band called Justin Hale (or however they spelled it) around that time? Jesus. They were everywhere. They always opened for PH Balance, I think. There are some aspects of college that I am definitely NOT nostalgic about.

(':whiff:')

I honestly don't know what to say. If you can't see the major influx of metal as cool on obner, then there's nothing for me to say. Other than when's the last time you've been to the eye doctor. Or you've just confirmed Rad's long time contention that no one reads obner beyond their own posts. Or maybe you're just dead set on arguing with me regardless of what I say.

whatever. go start a nostalgia thread about the alan parsons project.

Maybe you can help me out then. Other than one or two lengthy threads from a little while back, I really haven't seen a huge amount of metal discussion on this board. I think it just happens that two of the few dudes here who still start a lot of music threads (Twilight and Dalen) are both pretty big into metal. And there have been a couple of big metal fests lately which sparked some discussion, but I don't think those festivals are the result of some hipster trends. I mean, maybe, if Scion thinks that putting on a big festival of metal bands is going to attract their kind of crowd, somebody must think there's a big hipster metal trend going on. Really I think that was just a very misguided marketing ploy, although one that supposedly made for a great free festival.

Metal is hugely popular in several parts of the world and has been for a long time. Maybe in the US it's become sort of in vogue again among the kids, and that's what you're annoyed with. I just don't see that as a big issue with this board specifically, especially compared to some other places.

There aren't evev any metal pages on the first page, unless you count this one. It just seems like a weird time to complain about it.

you must be deaf and mentally handicapped

I don't know what you're talking about. it's just that metal is cool and I'm old enough to not like something just because I want to have a cool image. (I am cool by nature)
altogether metal is not really strong represented on this board, you may check the last year album top ten. I'm sure everybody who comments on metal in a positive way here, would have done that 10 years ago as well.

it must be some strange phobia which let you see everything biased... do you have this "problem" with other music styles, too?

Huh? You must really not pay attention much. What do I like that is even remotely like Alan Parsons.

i gotta agree with Drinky on this one. there are maybe 10 people on here who talk about metal.

it's as ridiculous as saying "Obner thinks country is cool now"

shitty music.


also, rads should probably kick you out of his apartment before you start dressing like him and kill his puppy.

hey, old country fucking rules (and those who choose to make country music and follow the ways of the old are pretty awesome, too... check out james hand. he played at this record store where i used to work, and it ruled)

so people like metal. who gives a fuck. fred durst is the real problem here fellas

yes. yes, yes,


yes.

and i feel that there is a difference between liking something because its trendy and admitting to liking something that you might not otherwise do at another time. i would die for Boston, and i love them unironically with all of my heart. i probably wouldnt be so quick to shout this out 5 or 10 years ago but at this point i could really give a shit. once you get to your 30s you just stop caring

oh fuck it, the post i wrote didn't make sense.

but i like journey

Shitty music...That's hilarious. I bet you just crack the boys up at the post office.

Do you have a spread sheet with all your tired and over-used insults? I think you used the Rads/follower jokes up with Gar 2 years ago. But if you think I follow his taste that's only further proof that you're not reading the board.

hey i didnt say that!

I was just sitting here finally watching this past Monday's 24, and my ears started burning!

OD: Iron Maiden 'Power Slave'
ODD: Tori Amos 'Under the Pink' cause i'm all over the map!

stop thinking.

and why would i want to read this board? i don't care about half the people on here.

Save all your nerd love for the boys at the comic and star wars collectible convention?

ladies

and you said my insults were tired. you owe cap'n royalties on that one.

Speaking of conventions, on Sunday I will be attending the Chiller Convention in NJ. All horror and toys! LOL
