[QUOTE]the point im trying to make is, i like above mentioned bands musically, but have been labelled by many people as a 'semi-goth' or a 'death head', actually at one point i was known as "deathmetal" at school... (admitedly i wear a lot of black, but thats preference, no goth-ness here)...[/QUOTE]
As long as you don't claim to be a death head, I find no merit in claiming you a poser.

cheers

[QUOTE=super/mars/volta]Also Rob halford and Phil from pantera two metal guys that take it like females so you may want to reconsider your line of thinking.[/QUOTE]

Phils Gay???????? thats news to me

[QUOTE=scoot_14]Punk. What a weird word. So many people hate it. And so do I.[/QUOTE]

Shame that Bad Religion : The Empirer Strikes First was probably the best album of 2004.

:rolleyes:

And Steerpike, did i force you to listen to The Freaks Union?

You mentioned them in the Punk Education Thread and after months of searching, I finally got some downloads.

My faverouite Melodic Hardcore band, they plain own. What songs do you have?

Don't Let Go, Ignorance, M11, Out of Time, Ska Face, and Wake Up.

Wake Up + Out Of Time = Great.

Get Blue Day and Demons Wont Die too.

i wear a lep zepplin shirt, not because they r my favourite band, but because i respect them.. am i a poser?

Yes.

Everyones opinion is different. I consider posers to be people who want to be different but if you don't conform to be one of them they won't consider you of them(I used to hang out with some and I obviously didn't want to waste money on gay hot topic clothes to look like a complete idiot) Also saying things like "You gotta dress like the music to hear it" or acting hardcore my guitarist was making fun of the kids we used to hang out with, he was looking at the musicianforums magazines and he was like "OMG goth firebird bass, its goth so its so SCARY, lets buy it OMG coffin case for a guitar thats SCARY" and more stupid crap like that or one time we were listening to iron man and the kid who is goth used to hang out with me and my crew a like 2 years ago but he met this girl who was a poser goth w/e i dont even know and now hes whipped although he doesn't get any and he isn't going out with her and he is still whipped.... AH. Anyway he says that he can't take it and puts on hatebreed its crap, when his ex leaves he puts on like sabbath and zepplin and loves it... The moral is that if you aren't yourself you are a poser.(but theres some tweaking)

[QUOTE=88_Fingers_Joe]Yes.[/QUOTE]

:confused:

If he listens to the band and likes them, it doesn't make him a poser...
If he DOESN'T listen to the band, and just wears the shirt...THEN we have a problem...

[QUOTE=supermusicman]but then the only reason you me or most people got into rock/metal is because of other people and to rebel[/QUOTE]
I find that annoying when people say that when you listen to rock or metal you're rebelling, i just like the music :cool: . My parents like it too(the rock), so there's nothing to rebel.a

EDIT: This thread is why i think they should have a separate forum for metal than rock, they are two so different things, and i have no idea what you guys are talking about with all these bands.

consider a poser to wear make up and girl pants. Looking like a female is not metal. Now I bet some smart *** will say "BUT DOWN025 IN THE 80S BANDS DID THE SAME THING NUHAHUHU" well atleast those bands kicked ***.


You're an idiot. As are other people in this thread, the user above me as an example. Marilyn Manson didn't set out to get attention, that's what happened. Why? He got popular. That's what happens. The more Dimmu or Cradle Of Filth get popular, the more shootings and satanic rituals are going to be blamed on them as well. I also fail to see how Marilyn Manson wears "girl clothes", or how you can still pretend to be intelligent while giving fabric a gender specification. And this, my friend is coming from somebody who can't stand Marilyn Manson.


I'm the idiot? #1 fabric doesnt have a specific gender, but clothes do and so does makeup. Eyeliner, lipstick and whatever the other stuff girls use belongs on females. Its to make females look pretty. Capris, tight pants, smaller then your size tight band shirts and lesbian haircuts on guys does not make you metal and neither does dressing like a woman. It makes you look like a jackass. Also about your other comments, stop trying to preach your gospel bull **** like it is supposed to be accepted because its ridiculous and that is all it is straight up 100% BULL ****

[QUOTE=fallenstar]I have some pretty good ideas what a poser is, but I want to hear from you posters. What do posers act like. What is really a poser. Why do people hate em, so\\ much. What do you think of posers. Please post your Ideas.(thanks) :smash: :evil: :evil: :evil: then :cool:[/QUOTE]
good charlotte, people that follow trends.

[QUOTE=fallenstar]DONT SAY THIS AGAIN stop posting on my thread NOW![/QUOTE]

Why NOT! He's only posting the TRUTH! :rolleyes:

[QUOTE=Steerpike]... Oh yeah, it's all coming back to me. Truth be told, I let that one go a long time ago.[/QUOTE]
Out of curiousity, is it becuase you stoped caring, or becuase you just gave up?

A poser is someone who has never played a musical instrument a day in their life. Sees a few of his buddies and some kids at school playing the guitar, so they go out and blow $500 on a brand new guitar. Go home, play for 10 minutes and never touch the thing ever again. And then everytime a few guitar buddies are talking about which solos they can play, or which songs they should learn, the guy constantly trys to join in and brag about how they play that song too.

/sigh I know people like this :rolleyes:

[QUOTE=EddieVanHalen769]Out of curiousity, is it becuase you stoped caring, or becuase you just gave up?[/QUOTE]

Because I reasoned that it wasn't worth holding a grudge over.

If you wear corpse paint, too many chains, listen to Slipknot/Static-X/Mudvayne/ETC., and label yourself a goth or metal head, you're a poser.

And thats pretty much it I guess... Also if you buy a band shirt but don't know who the **** they are or if you listen to JUST one song, don't know the song title and claim they're one of your favorite bands, you're a poser.

[QUOTE=slit_21]ok I dont see why everybody is dissing on slipknot, they are probably my favorite band next to SoaD. Now I understand about people wearing slipknot shirts so look "goth", thats just plain retarded. but I have a couple of slipknot shirts that I wear once in a whil e but that shouldnt make me a poser just because I wear there shirts, Hell I have a Pink floyd shirt too that I wear and yes I listen to them. so basically what I'm saying( to all those people who didnt want to read the begginging of my post) is that yes you are a poser if you wear a shirt of a band and you dont even like them but if they are your fav. band it is alright. o yah i almost forgot, Yes punk does suck harcore[/QUOTE]

people like you make me sick, im bet you cant even name a real punk band, so how can you say it sucks, im going to end my flaming here becasue i cant stand reading your post any longer

people people....stop argueing...just let the attention whores(posers), do theyre thing, darwin will kill them off, no reason to get so pissy

**** Straight thats exactly what i was thinking
i know many fags who do that

the worst think is when a faggot (as mentioned above) askes you to jam and when you say no they go around saying your afraid to jam with them cause he says hes better. but its funny how people nod their heads in approval when this person says this about you and the the person the fag was talking to comes right to you after and laughs his a$$ off at the queer

Wow, I just got "put in my place" by somebody with 8 posts. I know you think you're original and a hard ***, but it isn't impressive. For one thing, if they're wearing capris or have a lesbo haircut, it's a good 80% chance that it isn't metal to begin with. If you think that sort of thing is the "metal trend", then you have your genres mixed up.
On a sidenote, most makeup comes from certain types of processed dry mud, and belongs to no specific gender, and if your arguement is simply that makeup belongs to girls simply because they started wearing it first, then you're proving your ignorance without any help from my cynical sarcasm.

[QUOTE=Slaugher Of The Soul]If you wear corpse paint, too many chains, listen to Slipknot/Static-X/Mudvayne/ETC., and label yourself a goth or metal head, you're a poser. [/QUOTE]

/has worn corpse paint before (for my Backyard Wrestling Organization)
/chains? those pants are expensive.I might consider wearing them though
/I like Slipknot.Static-X,and love Mudvayne
/Would consider self a metalhead.Not necessairly label,but it's hard to deny.
/as stated before in this thread,I may listen to them but I also listen to some stuff that are about as extreme and underground as you get.

I am not trying to brag and I am just trying to prove a point.Such vague generalizations as yours do not work.

I would say a good way to label a poser would be by what they don't listen to, not what they do. But as already stated, there's too many ways to be a poser to name. You just know when someone is.

Thanks to all. I agree with most. But punk is not metal so dont label metal as punk. Posers must DIE!

[QUOTE=Steerpike]That's kind of a vague question. I'm not really sure how to answer.

I suppose in the most general sense, a poser is someone who pretends to know what they're talking about but really doesn't. They do this in an attempt to look competent, cool, or have some other some other desirable adjective used to describe them.[/QUOTE]
thats exactly like what i just posted in anothr thread a kid i was tlaking to on aim was acting just like that and people started calling me as retarted as him
