Have you noticed the name and general subject of discussion of this forum?

Nah, Annsi, you need to step a level with the gayness

+1.

I love stereotypes. Me and my girl actually got into a pretty sweet discussion about stereotyping and profiling the other night.

Well, as Jarrko pointed out, we're brought together primarily for our love for metal and audio. Of course there are commonalities which we all share. And as for the hair, it's something which many find a trademark for metal, part of the subculture I guess. There's a level of conformity but its so trivial in its superficiality, its all in good fun. Its one thing becoming a clone just to fit in, and its another finding something you like which is similar to other people because it has some relation to the main subject of interest; in this case metal. Being actively "anti-stereotype" is falling in a stereotype yourself. It's quite a conundrum. Certain things define subcultures and interest groups, of course; its when you force yourself into one simply for all the superficial reasons when one's legitimacy becomes questionable. Being part of a community with common characteristics and tastes is pretty normal, there are obviously limits and as long as one maintains his/her individuality, I don't see any problem with it.

Haha, nice pics

Haha, woops! Sorry about that, I could have sworn I read it and wrote it correctly.

My dad's old surname was "Anttila".. he always got letters addressed to "Antilla", "Antila" or "Anttilla".
Then he switched his surname to "Heinänen", and we started getting letters addressed to "Heninnen", "Heininen", "Heininin" and even "Heinonen".. its insane!

Its one thing if you have a Russian surname like "Cztrýprtâ" or something, but how hard is it to spell "Anttila"?!

Iron it.
It's what the girls are doing.

Seriously!

O no problem at all. I just wanted to point it out. Coming from someone with sort hair, I thought it was worth a little laugh, but by no means am I trying to insult anyone on here.

lol@stereotypical short-haired metalcore scene kids.

 

[cloy26]

really? Cause most metalcore kids have straightened medium length hair, if you want to go that route. At least everyone that I know.

and are you trying to insinuate I am a metalcore kid? lol
