The exception, and most disturbing of shows, is at Dragonforce gigs. Full of kids. Children. Some must be about 14 or 15. I'm sure I've mentioned this before but one kid was stuck at the door with HIS MOTHER trying to convince the bouncers he was 12...

Depends whether the kids are listening to it because they enjoy it or because it's trendy to.RequiemX said:I bet they're proud they've got kids listening to good sh*t instead of Radio Disney. I would be.

Unfortunately it almost is here in the UK, but don't pack your bags too quickly: I think Dragonforce are the new fascination for what could be called the British equivalent of mallcore kids. I don't care that they like the music, but I disagree with the idea of liking something because it's fashionable to do so.RequiemX said:Tell me where Dragonforce is trendy and I'll consider moving there! lol
Why am I not surprised about that?kazahana said:The DF forum also has a lot of moronic posting, and incidentally "jo jo" popped up there recently much to my bemusement.

Eternal Dragon said:Guys who wear black and mosh.....now let me think for a second.........yep its as I thought. They definately aren't prog . I see a lot of metalheads with their cradle of filth and pantera shirts....
Of course I don't know what other people think. I do not have mind reading powers and I don't need them. If someone has a problem with metal or with the fact that I like metal, good for them. I honestly don't care.bball_1523 said:another thing that bothers me is what people outside of the metal community think of us that listen to metal. I'm sure you guys know what they think.
ptah knemu said:I'm actually kindof offended by that. I wear black, but only a black band shirt, usually Dream Theater, Megadeth, Judas Priest, Kamelot. I wear that under a black jacket thing, with camoufloge pants. And I mosh. Kindof. So since I fit into that "stereoype", that cancels out the fact that my favorite bands are more than artistic and that my writing is inspired by everything from J.S. Bach to Jason Becker? I have to be honest. that offends me.
