RESPECT AMONG PEOPLE UNDER THE UMBRELLA OF METAL

[OldScratch]

I bet you we bullied a lot more fatty. I only had to deal with a few locals(mainly the ones above). I moved here and even weird people find me weird. You can come forward and admit someone bullied you. I have been to a lot of metal shows and no one is by any means is 'tough'. Most people who think they are tough had not had to deal with people who are actually deranged and tough.

Bullied?!? We used to regularly attend shows in NYC(L'Amour, CBGB, Irving Plaza, Studio 54) when I was in my teens in the 80's - height of the Metal Hardcore crossover days. Tough? Sheeeeeeiiiiiiiiit. Brooklyn or the Bowery at 3:00am...you either had your shit together or, well...bullied would be a blessing I suppose. Folks did look out for each other though...

If by metalhead we mean average stereotypical mall goth, there is no respect whatsoever.

Most of the real metal fans I know, though, are cool people.

 

[Pessimism]

I generally like anyone with a sense of morality; I can't stand pissheadedness though, and I sure as hell cannot stand the majority of people. Metalheads are exactly the same as many other poeple, the only difference is their tastes in music.

 

[metal_wrath]

Metalheads overall seem to have a sense of respect to eachother, although some people who listen to metal are not really into it that much, like some people I know, and they fucking annoy the hell out of me, youknow? the ones who never actually "listen" to any metal

Respect and camaraderie are inherent in metal because people gather around the music. No other music genre has people who gather around music for music's sake, all the fans of other musical genres listen to music that centers around their lifestyle, whereas metal fans listen to metal because of the music itself, not because of their pre-existing lifestyle.

 

[Hatebreeder]

I hate poser metalheads (who call anything remotely heavy --> metal).

 

[Ender Rises]

Wrong thread bro.

 

[Hatebreeder]

I'm talking about the whole respect thing. Some people think that listening to metalcore should warrant some respect for them and they get it from a lot of others like them, but they get no respect from real metalheads.

 

[Ender Rises]

Ah, I understand now.

Those claims seem pretty unsubstantiated tbh.

ender's hardly going to care if some asshole forum poster dislikes one of his posts, he's already got being a clueless, socially-inept bisexual to deal with

Eh, they're just observations and conclusions, they're not meant to be the word of truth.

 

[Hatebreeder]

Why do you like men?

 

[Ender Rises]

The hell kind of question is that?
Why do you like women? Because they turn you on.
That is always a stupid question, no matter what dumbass asks it.

 

[Hatebreeder]

Excellent. You pass the test.

Not too hairy, not feminine. More the normal guy, not a kind of guy that you would know is gay.

What the fuck test?

 

[Cythraul]

[Hatebreeder]

What the fuck test?

The test. The test of humanity.
