Cynicism is subjective. Your argument is invalid.[views:12636][posts:50]_______________________________________ [Jan 5,2012 12:53pm - Blessed_Offal ""] I was just thinking about how pointless it is to be elitist, because if I really wanted to, I could talk shit about anything. For example, here's a description of some of my favorite bands. Type O Negative - It's just some tall guy with a deep voice singing about hating himself and wishing he was in the Beatles. Motorhead - It's just some British asshole with a benign tumour on his cheek playing three chords to a 4/4 beat and half-assedly egrunting about gambling. Godflesh - Oh Im supposed to be impressed by some asshole who looks like he's fresh out of chemo standing on stage with a drum machine playing the same riff for 7 minutes and occasionally mumbling into a microphone? My Dying Bride - OOOOOH GOOOOOOOD everythings SOOOOOO SAD I HATE MYSELF AND WANT TO DIE only not really because I am a fucking rock star. Black Flag - Oh I noticed that you had some solos in there, well isn't that cute. Next time try it with some talent, fuck face. DIO - Why would anyone want to watch a midget rip off Ozzys look and sing about unicorns? FAGGOT Blood For Blood - IM BETTER THAN YOU BECAUSE MY PARENTS MADE LESS MONEY THAN YOURS AND IVE BEEN IN FIGHTS Faith No More - Oh we're so talented and eclectic! Everyone is so impressed, and our singer is TEH CRAZEEE! Pick a style or eat a dick. Discharge - attn cal morris: 'and children' makes no sense. You're not making a difference, you're just giving rich kids an excuse to dress up and pretend they're trying to be different by spiking their hair and walking down train tracks with their hands in their pockets. Blessed Offal - Just what the world needs, a band full of drug addicts who can't get their life together, or play their own songs right. |

But the point is, there's actually faggots out there that will stop liking something that they like just because others talk shit about it. |
| ___________________________________ [Jan 5,2012 1:02pm - arilliusbm ""] hahaha I know. I like to overly express opinions on the site though, and am well aware of coming off like an elitist at times. I'm not one at all, could really care less about what other people think or do unless YOURE A DUCK DUCK GOOSER. old school andrewbastard was my favorite black metal elitist. NO PICTURES FOR RETURN TO THE SCENE PLEASE. I was pretty bad at one point too, but blackmetal and FMP does that to some people |
| _____________________________ [Jan 5,2012 1:03pm - Yeti ""] elitism is the only way to go. |

| ___________________________________ [Jan 5,2012 1:07pm - arilliusbm ""] I was right there with him. HOV had no myspace for the longest time. Abaroth refused to have one until a few years ago. I should have never gotten a facebook. |
| _____________________________ [Jan 5,2012 1:07pm - Yeti ""] if elitism keeps people from telling me about bands like Lifelover and Watain and how "you would love them, they are super sick bwack metal" because it makes me seem like a dick, then i wear the badge honorably. |
| ___________________________________ [Jan 5,2012 1:11pm - arilliusbm ""] Youre arent too bad yeti. Some of the black metal people I hung out with at shows in NY and other stuff were fucking awful. This one guy thought everyone was inferior because they never attempted suicide like him. Dude was bragging about attempting suicide and hated people who "loved life." I hope he is dead now. |

| ___________________________________ [Jan 5,2012 1:23pm - arilliusbm ""] Back on topic though.. Musical elitism: inquisition: ohhh man a 2 piece spick band with frog vocals and rehashed riffs from 1995 Beherit: shitty ass finnish band with no talent and crystal clear production now Vektor: want to be voivod, but like pizza and overproduction Alcest: faggot limp wristed rock with an alien frontman who sounds like a girl when he sings Ensiferum: OH MY GOD WE'RE LIKE THE BEST VIKING BAMD BUT WERE NOT REAL VIKINGS BECAUSE WE ARE FINNISH AND RIP OFF STRATOVARIUS Burzum: I like to turn my gain up on my guitar and scream at the top of my lungs with horrible drumming and Pruduction! |
| ______________________________________ [Jan 5,2012 1:25pm - Blessed_Offal ""] I never thought I was better than anyone because of musical taste of knowledge. I KNOW I'm better than alot of people because so many people are in the dark about so many things. But I tend to think that generally speaking, and I do mean GENERALLY SPEAKING, if you're wearing a DMDS shirt and came to see Hirudinea play at O'briens on a tuesday night, you're probably at least somewhat close to being likeminded. |
| ___________________________________ [Jan 5,2012 1:30pm - Alx_Casket ""] I'm like, so above this thread. Let me know when you've all transcended elitism. |

| ___________________________________________ [Jan 5,2012 5:30pm - blessed offal nli ""] king diamond - four regular douch bags playing mid paced spooky riffs as a backing band for one face paint wearing mega douche bag to sing like a girl about ghosts and hanted houses. He sounds like hes crying because someone broke the oath. |

| _______________________________________ [Jan 5,2012 5:55pm - DestroyYouAlot ""] Windir - Sweet, you recorded the soundtrack to Simon's Quest and shrieked over it. Good job being in a black metal band and getting killed by snow. |
| _______________________________________ [Jan 5,2012 5:57pm - DestroyYouAlot ""] That's like being in a tough guy hardcore band and suffocating under a pile of basketball jerseys. |
