Posers

...I am so freaking sick of hearing everyone whine and bitch about this stupid band isn't metal, and this band doesn't deserve to be called metal, and nu-metal freaking sucks....

...GET OVER IT...there's no point in whining about how many people like it and how your "underground" bands deserve much more respect...

Right...there's no point in whining about it. You weren't whining just now about people whining where you? Am I whining about your whining about the whiners? Yeah...OK.

What I wanted to say was: I've missed this board with all of your incredibly thought-provoking views.

Hoser: I know that I'm a different person at work, or with different groups of friends, or in front of my parent's friends, or in certain public places. Which of these is the "true" me? Is there ever a "true" me?

Damn! Way to make a point. (btw, I say the true you is when you're alone.) The first time I gave that any thought my home life and my work like came together for a brief moment and I could feel the different sides of myself trying to be one...they weren't THAT different, but I could feel it.

You are how you are because of influences somehow preset in your mind when with others. When you're alone is the closest you'll ever be to being.....yourself.....I think anyways....

Well it's only human nature to catagorize stuff I mean think about it… what isn't in some kinda catagory? even people we have white black mexican ect… so this nu-metal, metal thing will always be argued about because it it's not than the nu-metal and traditional metal will be the same and we all know that they don't sound anything alike.

As far as posers your only a poser if your trying to do something because you care what everyone will thing about you, like if their going to laugh at you or something. As far as everyone being a poser I don't believe that but you do have to change the way you act around certain people no only to respect them but also so you don't embarrase yourself.

Like when you have an interview for a job you have to act like a civilized human being other wise your not going to get hired. I hope that you understand what I'm trying to say if not ohh well I tried

we all already know how much mallcore (or nu-metal if you're lame) sucks.

Haha, yeah the term "mallcore" is leaps and bounds ahead of "nu-metal" in terms of coolness.

I know a kid at my school who buys rap cds for just the popular songs, hes so many cds and he just listens to the ones that are played on mtv. Im sure a lot of people do this, but im really emotional with the music, I step into it and come out wearing all black and with spikes

Yeah I know a lot of people do it too. I sold one of my cd to my friends sister and she wanted it cause they started playing one of there songs on mtv and she didn't know anyother song that was on itl, and I'm sure she isn't listening to them either

once again, our Canadian friend Hoser nailed it. We aall KNOW that we arerequired to act certain ways in certain situations in order keep up the image of a well-rounded socially acceptable individual. Example: I'll pretty much argue with anyone about anything, as I've always liked debating issues, but if a cop pulls me over, it's "Yes, sir-no, sir-, whatever you say, sir". You see? We do whats socially expected.
