Controversial opinions on metal

[H.P. Lovecraft]

I'd be curious too, seeing as my standards for my taste are if I like it, I like it, if I don't, I don't (obviously with an innumerable strata of various reasons why and why not, excepting whether some dickhead does or doesn't care for it), if you can't deal with it, bite me and get necked on barbed wire. Yet I do believe I've been accused of being "in-crowd".

Nu-neu!-nu-new-nu-metal.

Controversial opinion:

Everybody that calls people in-crowd on here does so without actually having any standards for who is or isn't, from what I can tell.

If I'm wrong, please explain the qualifiers to me or something. Am I in-crowd? If so, why?

You seem to like pretty much everything, so no, you're not in-crowd. HP Lovecraft, you're not in-crowd either and I'm fairly certain I've never accused you of that (except maybe when you first joined and I assumed you were someone's alt).

Being in-crowd means having taste (specifically metal taste on this forum) so suspiciously in alignment with consensus that it makes one look like their opinions on music were strongly molded by their surroundings. The extent to which one is in-crowd is relative to the community they inhabit, there is no universal standard for in-crowd-ness (though there are certain albums that have greater consensus power than others).

Am I in-crowd, @HamburgerBoy ? I've had people call me that before. Don't know why.

 

[Krow]

In crowd is just a crappy insult some of the faggots on this forum use.

 

[HamburgerBoy]

Am I in-crowd, @HamburgerBoy ?

I believe so, but you haven't been here long enough for me to remember super well. Give me your top 5 albums of the 80s and 90s for starters.

Krow isn't in-crowd, he's his own man, big guy.

 

[TechnicalBarbarity]

perfect examples of "in-crowd" here would be yoda, krow, slayed necros etc. They've been on somewhat of a run since their supreme leader omni was chased away by our neighborhood fruitcake.

Cassette tries so hard that i cant even consider him in-crowd. He's more of a "try-hard".

You're suggesting that I, what, pretend to like bands/albums because certain people cite them as favourites, or underground classics? That's remarkably stupid, even by your standards.

The facepalm when TechnicalBarbarity calls someone else "try hard"....

 

[Slayed Necros]

^ Pretty much.

@Pitiless Wanderer I don't even know who you are, but it's cool that you know my taste better than I do.

of course you do, you're one of queen omni's followers.

yeah because i try so hard to fit in and build my musical taste around what some of the foogazis around here like, amirite? What planet do you live on?

 

[TechnicalBarbarity]

I have more respect for people like Ozz ... who like what they like and dont give a fuck what others think.

"oh lets make fun of him because he listens to Pantera" Need i say more?

There have been studies demonstrating that musical taste is strongly influenced by peer pressure.

I don't doubt it for a moment.

You are a try hard because you have an unhealthy need to appear as a tough guy.

 

[TechnicalBarbarity]

please do explain how i come across as a "tough-guy"? Is it because my posts got your panties all bunched up? Or is it because they instill fear in you?

 

[Vilden]

Case in point right there...
