I was on vacation when this thread first appeared so I had fun going back and reading it. I think the best insight was Krampus saying that we are all versions of normality and the 99% of people who are "normal" is not real. It kind of pisses me off when people whine about how most people are so lame and uninteresting. It happens all the time on the internet, and doubly so on metal forums. It strikes me as rationalizing not having friends. Everyone has different tastes in people and everyone gravitates towards people with similar interests. You are not special because you gravitate towards people who also don't like popular music or whatever.
