I'm very lucky. My girlfriend loves Metal (she even likes my more extreme tastes, which is fantastic) and my mum tolerates it (and my step dad just plays his own music louder to cover it up - thank goodness for headphones).
Thing is, my friends hate Metal. They hate me having long hair. They think my singing is ridiculous. And I really don't care that much, because I just shrug or laugh. We all have our own tastes, after all.
I KNOW I have an awful taste in music. I'll readily admit that. I know Sunn 0))) is nearly pure noise, and that the vocals of Cliteater are over the top and impossible to understand. I know that, I accept that, and I don't care. It's just great fun, which is all that matters.
Laugh all you like at my musical tastes. Just don't bitch and whine when I laugh back (such as saying U2 play basically the same song over and over again in every single one of their albums - oh noes, I didn't go there did I?!?!).
But I take offense to people insulting my hair. I don't point and laugh at every single stupid trendy hairstyle I see (mostly because I'd die of suffocation due to the sheer stupidity of it). At least my style is natural and not styled into a cone shape.
And yes, I smell. I smell of pure man, not of pussy. I'm sorry if that offends anyone, but I really can't be bothered to cover myself in cheap perfume. At least I have fresh breath.
(Oh, and if no-one gets it, I'm not directing it at anyone. It's all just an example of what I would say to people.)
