the hate thread

[ohiogrinder]

I hate that my 10-year high school reunion is coming up. Not only does it signify that I'm getting old, it also means I have to see at least 8 people that I'd prefer NOT encountering for the rest of my life.

I probably wont attend mine either. fuck high school. everyone I went to school with either turned their backs on me or was a complete dickhead.

 

[Krigloch the Furious]

hahaha, I hated highschool with a passion. such bullshit

 

[Dazed and Brutal]

I hasn't bothered me too much so far.

well get this...when I first entered high school, lots of stoners. gateway into music I am into now. most of them mocked me cause I was autistic nerd just getting his feet wet, figuratively speaking. I loved music, to the point of annoyance. then there were all the jocks who picked on me and treated me like shit. I didn't really make any new friends until late junior year/early senior year, but by then it was too late. I had fun, but all my friends moved away. then I attended a vocational school under the Option 23 program (which is when you attend a career school after graduation, mostly people who do this are learning disabled kids like myself). I was a few years older than most of the kids there. first year wasn't all that bad, save for a few confrontations. second year was hell. I dropped Business class for Digital Design and had to be in a class which was a mix of preppy kids and wannabe stoners. they hated me and I hated them. When that was over, I was glad to be out. yeah, fuck school.

 

[The Antihero]

Yeah, but there are some people, good friends I haven't seen in a while that I want to see and with. Otherwise I wouldn't go.

Isis.

Inferior to Neurosis, without the intensity of Cult of Luna, without the majesty of Opeth or the beauty of Agalloch. Or as cerebral as (older) Tool. In particular, the new Agalloch album shows up Isis badly. Not that they're exactly the same, but in terms of creating these sweeping epic soundscapes that shift subtly, Agalloch leaves them for dead.

I can't tolerate the vocals at all, I think they're too abrasive for the music and expressionless. The drumming sounds too tinny (again compare to Agalloch) and they are just plain boring.

I couldn't disagree more. I just saw Isis live last week, and they were intense as fuck. The fact that they don't have that whole grandiose majestic thing going on in their sound is why I like them. I can't get into Agalloch at all. They choose bland chord progressions and time signatures, and end up sounding boring and cheesy.

I liked High School. Most of the people I went to school with were nice.

I kinda feel bad for you bro.

I kinda feel bad for you bro.

eh, don't worry. its in the past, although I found out today one of my coworkers was in my Business class sophomore year of high school. I got a little pissed and punched my workstation cause it brought back bad memories.

 

[Hell Awaits Us All]

all Tool is crap. Maynard is a hack.

tool is one of the best prog rock bands today, quit talking

either you are being truthful or this is some of the most stonefaced scathing sarcasm ever.

 

[Hell Awaits Us All]

it's pretty much the same here, I was very cool with the overwhelming majority of people in the school

I had pretty much 95% of the high school team on my cellphone, I was friends with the star running back/linebackers starting from 8th grade in middle school

I still see some of the jacks, and i'm good friends with them (lot of them look pretty bad now as they have gained alot of fat however)

I would but the majority of their fans ruin it for me. Neurosis > Tool.

Tool is one of the most overrated bands of the past 15 years.

Yeah, their fans are awful.

 

[Hell Awaits Us All]

I like neurosis a lot

can't say I listen to much modern rock, I listen to mostly 60s 70s and 80s prog rock

 

[Dazed and Brutal]

Modern Rock/Alternative Rock sucks, imo.

 

[Hell Awaits Us All]

the mainstream stuff is fucking awful for sure

 

[Life Sucks]

Almost anything mainstream sucks, regardless of genre.

 

[Hell Awaits Us All]

yep
