[QUOTE=Da_Machine]How is Mudvayne a poser band?I can agree that using Mudvayne using makeup in the early stages was just an attention getter.But their music has always stood out.They don't try to sound like anybody at all.[/QUOTE]

I totally agree. The music in Mudvayne is very complex. Ryan (Bassist) is simply amazing, and his basslines stand out as some of the best Metal basslines in years. Chad(vox) is a very well-rounded singer, and goes from singing to screaming with seemingly no effort. Matt (drums) is an impressive drummer, who is very creative, and makes his drums fit with the song perfectly. Greg (Guitar) is a great guitarist, and his guitar lines fit perfectly with the singing and the basslines, just completing perfected music. They work hard to create their music, and it is extremely well written.

*Is listening to Lost And Found atm*

[QUOTE=Steerpike]

Second, Slipknot can't sell-out since they never really had that much integrity to begin with.[/QUOTE]

Yes they did. Mate Feed Kill Repeat was a good album. They have funk and jazz mixed in with metal. They got rid of all that when they added like 14 members.

[QUOTE=spenser93]good charlotte, people that follow trends.[/QUOTE]

So people who listen to Good Charlotte are posers? Regardless of what they think of themselves? Interesting.

And I wouldn't say the people who listen to Cradle or Dimmu Borgir and think they are goth are posers. I think they're more ignorant than anything else.

(edit) I just realized you meant Good Charlotte are posers.

I can't believe such a stupid thread has so many replies.

[QUOTE=spenser93]good charlotte, people that follow trends.[/QUOTE]
So if you listen to a band that a lot of people listen to, like AC/DC, Pink Floyd, Black Sabbath, or Tool when they were very very popular you're a poser.

Wow, very touchy thread....

Anyways, I'd say a poser is someone who follows the latest musical trend, or someone elses taste just to be cool. It could also work opposite where the kid follows someone elses musical taste to be labled as the odd or different kid...I know to many people like this.

*hopes he doesn't get flamed*

Mudvayne sucks

*cough*badpost*cough*

just because you don't the music doesn't make them posers. if they like all their songs they're not posers. posers are people that like zeppelin because of stairway to heaven and that's the only song they like. or they like metallica because all they're heard was enter sandman. someone who is not a poser likes a lot of there music, likes similar styles/bands, etc.

I'd only call people like that posers if they claim to be big fans of the band. I almost never say "poser" anyway, because the word is mostly used as a form of elitistism(sp?).

Idk... the people that work at my cell phone company are posers... they come up and they're like "you out of minutes" and I'm all "but I just bought minutes" and they say "$1 a day and 25 cents to connect" and I'm like "you guys are posers" and then they start rapping... its quite ridiculous

[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]


even though I am not a fan of slipknot, I almost agreed with you, but then I read the last line and was like "nah"

no genre sucks.

?

Quit the job then and tell them 2 burn in hell. Thats what I would do of course Im going 2 college. Some people wouldnt be able 2 afford that.

No offence fallenstar, but you have to be one of the worst posters I have ever seen on these boards. You offer nothing new to your own thread, and merely seem to come in to say "That band sucks, they are posers", funnily enough the bands you say this about are the ones that it is "cool to hate". Perhaps you should be looking closer to home for a definition of poser.

No offence of course...

[QUOTE=fallenstar]Mudvayne is not complex they are posers as well.[/QUOTE]
You are exactly what poser is , you define it perfectly. :thumb:

[QUOTE=cramboli]Hey I attack the wannabes by tellling them there music sucks like the good charlotte idiots who think good charlotte is (goth) metal.

plus if I didn't beat up the posers then metal would suck in my general area...[/QUOTE]
PREPOSTEROUS! good charlotte is some DEATH METAL

i have some,

one is downloading music(if you don't get why i think that's being a poser, ask me)

two is saying you're a huge fan of a band because you like two songs/buying a shirt for that reason

three is worshipping someone that just died from a band when you never heard of them before. for example a bunch of people here in my city worship dimebag only becaues he died.

four is saying you're part of a specific culture. for example saying you're a metalhead, emo, goth, punk, ect. when you dont know anything about the culture or you think you are cool saying it.



those are my definitions, if you missunderstood something you can ask me. and if you dont get what i said, ask first before saying "..what you just said makes you the real definition of a poser" because you most likely understood something.

[QUOTE=ArmyofDarkness7]one is downloading music(if you don't get why i think that's being a poser, ask me)[/QUOTE]

You're going to have to clarify. I download music to sample new bands and see if it's worth the nivestment of buying their albums.

[QUOTE=Quest]In my point of view, posers are:

-People who simply download music, never buy any albums, and yet still claim to love a certain band.
-People who go into Hot Topic and buy a shirt of a band, yet not own any albums from that particular band.
-People who buy the latest album by a band that's been around for many years, but claim to have liked them for the longest time.
-People who go to a concert of a band they've simply heard of off of MTV, but not actually know any of their songs.[/QUOTE]


well put

[QUOTE=Steerpike]You're going to have to clarify. I download music to sample new bands and see if it's worth the nivestment of buying their albums.[/QUOTE]

what i mean is like, if you download music, thats saying "you recorded this for seven hours, i'm going to take it" as oppose to someone who acutally buys the album, which is saying "you spent nine hours recording this, i appriciate your time and effort, good job"

and also i know people who have itunes just to store their music, not to buy songs or albums, and have programs to download music for free. they dont go on itunes to just hear samples of songs, they just go straight to their download program and hear the song that way. if you [I]still[/I] dont get what i mean, i can explain agian if you need me too

No I understand. In most cases, I wouldn't call getting freebie music like that being a poseur. I'd call it either douche-baggery, cheapskate-ness, or ignorant f[size=2]u[/size]ck-face-ism.

As I said, myself and others download music through Limewire and the like as a way of checking out new artists. I pirated some tracks off of Blind Guardian's NIME and ANATO albums, and bought both because I liked what I heard.

yea i completely understand, i just meant people who do it because they are wayy lazy to just go out to but an album. if you do it just for a week or a little while because you are broke at the moment or something, i can understand



and i completely forget some other definitions i have for being a poser(i'll put it for some genres) the poser part is what posers would say they like to be apart of that culture, as oppose to real bands of that genre:

1. 'poser' metal: slipknot, korn, ect
real metal: Iron Maiden, DragonForce, ect

2. 'poser' punk: good charlotte
real punk: the ramones

3. 'poser' rock: simple plan, uh.. i dont know any other ex. cause i know what real rock is lol.
real rock: ac/dc, the beatles, queen, etc.

I can play every Mudvayne song ever written and I find them boring and unchallenging, and which one is making the money? It's a ****ed up world...
I don't nessecarilly think Mudvayne are posers, but they ARE a ****ty band.

As far as this whole thing about downloading music, I download music, but mostly because I hate getting a CD of a band i've never heard and finding out that they suck. Like Mortification, for example. I got EnVision EvAngeline thinking they were a good band, and it turned out to be the most atrocious attempt to make metal i've ever heard with maybe the exception of Betrayal.
Sometimes I download music just because I have opressive parents that think they have the right to not allow me to buy music of bands that aren't christian. So in turn, 90% of the black metal I like I only have on my computer and that's all i'll have it on until I get a job this fall...

If they're such a ****ty band,why do you bother playing everyone one of their songs? You my friend are trying to look like the bigger man, but hey....its only my opinion so dont get pissed off

I could watch this all night.

Wait... no I couldn't. I don't want to. Take it outside, boys.

i bet you could watch it all night, just imagine if this thread just stops lol, staring at a frozen screen all night long.
I also have no comments on anything else, except that posers over exagerate mostly everything about music
