[QUOTE=xrockerachickx]posers r anybody who is like Avril Lavguine (however u spell that), who think theyre ALL hard, but really r some lameass kids O GOD! WTF[/QUOTE]

I think you should be more worried about how to spell "are" than Lavigne.

[QUOTE=Da_Machine]How about the masses of people who think "the black album" (really called Metallica) is the first Metallica album?[/QUOTE]

haha, now thats funny.... and anyways, the black album was made also for people who weren't into metal. its more of an all audience album anyway right?

[QUOTE=Tyler_]You're not funny...[/QUOTE]

I beg to differ.

:upset: Please don't type like that. This is not AIM. You don't need to shorthand everything and punctuate all your sentences with abbreviations.

How much time are you saving? A quarter of a second. That's not saving time, that's just being lazy.

Then be banned. If you want to be a part of these forums, you need to speak/type legibly and put thought into your posts.

At my school, a poser is someone who doesn't wear H.I.M. bracelets according to the majority of the people (75% love H.I.M.).

A poser is simply someone who tries to be someone they're not, plays an instrument because they want people to think that they're awesome, and listens to a brand of music that everyone likes because they want to fit in.

Oh, and there's nothing better than showing up a cocky poser on an instrument in front of loads of people.

You can't spot a poser by looks. Once you talk to them you know if their a poser or not. I mean as most people said, a poser is someone who wants to fit into a scene. They buy merch from hot topic say they love them. Then you talk to them and they turn into idiot. they don't have their facts right, they no nothing about the band exept how to download all their songs.

Man, that sounds like my drummer...

He plays guitar in his spare time...he believes he is better than most people, even though pretty much all he knows is power chords.

I love tapping on the guitar and watching the look on his face...its priceless.

HAHAHA I love doing that! They ****ing buy all this amazing **** and suck so bad, say their amazing and bah! They should see it comming..


Posers = Igorant beyond the point of ignorant people.

[QUOTE=high_voltage_acdc]To me the closest thing to a poser are the kids who go to Hot Topic every week, listen to Slipknot and Dimmu and CoF and then think they're hella metal. But then again, who am I to judge them?[/QUOTE]

an educated metalhead, what?

It funny to see their faces, even on the simplest tap riff. To their untrained ears it is amazing.

I showed up this kid yesterday playing Until It Sleeps, and he played Dammit. He won, because all of these "emo" kids were standing in his corner watching him play with a $3,000 Schecter. They all said that he was the best because they didn't know what song I was playing. ****ing douchebags.

Hey Steerpike, when you said that thing about Cory Taylor, I think he really meant it about the masks. I mean sure Clown did it first but alot of bands have a single person in the band that wears the mask but the other members are normal "looking", so they could have just left him with his stagefright. Also a mask is artwork, and artwork is the reflection of the artist on the inside.

Not saying he's completely credible with that statement, but I'd believe him.

i have 2 friends whom i adore dearly, but they're posers. :lol: :lol: :lol: they everything poser. they liek slipknot and say they listen to pretty heavy s hit. thats they i have never invited them to my house. theres this 2 guys at my tech ed class...and they are part of the "goth" crowd at my school. we were fu cking aorund the computors in teh modules, and i just sat down and all of a sudden i heard some gay alternative s hit. they said it was breaking benjamin's new music video. i promtly went back to my module and turn the speakers up and put on Behemoth's "Conquer All" video and said "eat s hit Kumar." :smash:

And people who are "emo". I mean, come on. Who the **** are they trying to fool here? "Oh, my girlfriend left me so that means I have to slit my wrists and cry in the corner." Jesus, get a grip.

I am the best guitarist in my school, I show everyone up, because the 2nd best that everyone looks up to only knows God of Thunder and Sweet Home Alabama, very sloppily I might add... Eugenes Trick Bag amazes the simple minded Kentuckians, but not as much as Sweet Home Alabama. Well, I'm the best now anyways, now that one of the seniors who was an amazing shredder has graduated...

I agree.

[QUOTE=Steerpike]Regardless, he still sounds like a pretentious jack-***.[/QUOTE]

I'd say so. He's the embodiment of poser hardcoreness, i think.

Reflection of the artist inside...bulls[COLOR=White]h[/COLOR]it. If it was a reflection, they'd have different masks, not ones with grotesque faces or 10 inch spikes sticking out of the top.

Exactly! Besides, they're all rich and famous now. The only thing they could possibly complain about is the fact that the majority of their fans are clueless pre-teens who are operating under the delusion that listening to metalcore makes them rebels.

With that in mind, what makes Cory think he's fooling anyone?

Exactly. They need to find a new fanbase that isn't all preppy/preppunk girls and hardcore boys.

Also, they are metalcore? My girlfriend said they were too...i always thought of them as extremely heavy nu-metal.

I consider them metalcore, but I'm hardly an expert on the genre, so don't take me too seriously on that.

[QUOTE=Steerpike]I consider them metalcore, but I'm hardly an expert on the genre, so don't take me too seriously on that.[/QUOTE]

Yea, metalcore seems to be like nu-metal...people throw bands in there, regardless of how they sound, to show that they hate them and the whole genre.

Metalcore for me = Killswitch Engage. Best example i can come up with.

Slipknot is nu-metal though they tend to be heavier than most bands in that genre. They arn't metalcore because of a lack of hardcore style playing. Some metalcore that are poular right now include Bleeding Through, Eighteen Visions, Atreyu etc. Some pretty good metalcore of current would be Bury Your Dead, Walls of Jericho, 100 Demons, and Dead to Fall.

Okay, so they're not metalcore, they're just really bad nu-metal. Got it.

hahaha no way not possible ever.

edit: wait yeah

[QUOTE=Steerpike] they're just really bad nu-metal. Got it.[/QUOTE]
And that's sayin' somthin.


I'm sorry but I like some of their stuff, and they kill live.

[QUOTE=Steerpike]Okay, so they're not metalcore, they're just really bad nu-metal. Got it.[/QUOTE]

i think i got it, the [B]majority [/B] of all metalcore bands are just nu-metal dudes with crappy guitar solos.
