The awkward moment when they can't even stylise Green Day properly just kinda sums up what these people are all about really



I stopped looking at youtube comments a long time ago if it's to do with music. Commercial rock/indie fans think they're underground, metal fans embarrass themselves

MCR fans think they're underground

yeah it makes me laugh when metalheads say the metal community is the most intelligent of all the genres with the stuff they post on youtube. creeps me out to think I used to be like that but thankfully I quickly grew out of it

Just looked up the most viewed Cannibal Corpse video



"Some fat kid with no social skills at all kept telling me how heavy metal or whatever rules and specifically told me to look up this band. I looked it up and saw this and I was absolutely blown away at how shitty this band is. I couldn't make out a word they're saying. Those stupid instruments with strings on them are really unnecessary because you could make the exact same sound with a computer. People that listen to music like this are suicidal emos who cut themselves."



"this sound makes my neighbours suffer m/."



It's just stuff like this really. I still listen to metal sometimes- Opeth have been my favourite band since I was thirteen. I just really dislike the metal aesthetic in general OH SO BRUTAL, ur not kvlt enough, my hair is longer than yours, oh i love dimmu borgir..



Frankly, I'm glad my phase of being like these people is long gone.

I just don't get the hostility to other genres really, especially hip hop

And the whole notion that metal is the indisputable best genre. No music fan isolates himself to a
single genre more than a metal fan

The only hip hop artist metalheads like is Public Enemy and that's because they sample Slayer and collaborated with Anthrax.



Five years ago, I woulda turned my nose up at any hip hop without even giving it a try. Do you like it?

I do but I only really started listening to it about a year ago. 2012 was the year of hip hop for
me, both with new and old albums. aoty was a hip hop album too

But 3 years ago I wouldn't have even given it ago

Wouldn't've wanted to be one of those 98% of teenagers who switch over to hip hop instead of the
strong who stay faithful to metal m/


Would never have dared seen if I liked pop or r&b either. Would never have allowed myself to nurture
my irrational semi-love for Katy Perry

Album Rating: 1.5

Which one was your aoty? Damn, well at least those 2% are keeping it real listening to Cradle and whatnot.



Not a huge r&b fan myself. Irrational love for Katy is cool, my guilty pleasure is Call Me Maybe. I also harbour quite a love of Gaga's The Fame Monster. Don't judge.

I was originally going to ask, tongue-in-cheek, which one out of Kendrick, Mike or El-P was your aoty but well that'd

have made me look stupid. Haven't heard it. I didn't listen to quite as many 2012 releases as I would've hoped.



Think mines was Heaven - The Walkmen with All We Got Is Each Other - Ghost Mice in second, but M9's Magna Carta is

making a real push for the #1 spot. You should give it a listen if you get a chance.



Oh, be like that. I'll just be over here, in the corner, head in hands

Killer Mike was in my top 10 but I found El-P and Kendrick overrated

But same, I don't listen to nearly enough music.

I might listen maybe

lady gaga and call me maybe aren't that bad to be fair

Album Rating: 1.5

Kendrick > Mike > El-P for me



Yeah, I'm hoping to make a better job of it in 2013. Made a decent start at least.



Do it. British hip-hop represent.



The Fame Monster is a really solid release, not overly keen on her other stuff. Call Me Maybe is just.... dem strings, dude!

Did they ever work out who was being the dick between this guy and the ex-gf that was giving him shit?

Not sure. Either way, he did something to seriously piss off the rest of the band, which is why they split. I think he had an alcohol problem or something like that.

Had no idea TKB had released another album and split up. Can't drum up the energy to hear this.

Streetlight Manifesto>

To be honest, for me nothing they did topped "Save the World, Get the Girl"

I've not even heard that album in full, but I love Punk & Poetry

Loved P+P for ages but it wore off when I realized the kids are more angry about restrictions on illegal downloading than anything else in the world. Punk rebellion isn't what it could have been.

Do you mean they're in favour or against illegal downloading? Cos I saw an interview with some members of the band and they were saying piracy was killing the industry

Not the band themselves. I just found the sentiments of that album very engaging when it first hit, thought it was a great record for the current times. But after working with a lot of young people (ranging from 12 to 22) for over a year I can't see any anger anywhere, except at the fact that mediafire isn't what it once was. I run into anarchists every now and then, mostly in London, but even they're as angry as a grandma hopped up on warm milk. Still a well-made record, it just got depressing to hear after awhile.
