The Whining and Bitching Thread

Yeah, same temperature where I'm at. Pretty nasty.

This has been the first cold season that has made me actually look forward to warm weather. fml.

 

[Krow]

It hinted at cooling down here for a while, then straight back to 88 degrees. I fucking have it. Me paleface, sun my enemy.

 

[Carpe Mortem]

It's cold over in your corner CIG? Do you guys even have a real winter?

 

[CiG]

Here in Western Australia it is pretty weak probably in comparison to parts of America. We don't get snow here for example, other parts of Australia does though. I think we get like, one random day that's cold enough to snow or whatever.

It's mostly just cold compared to what I'm used to, which is rather brutal heat. Though apparently this is our coldest winter in a century or something.

Failing a warmer spell in the next fortnight, the weather bureau predicts Perth will post its coldest winter since 1998.

The mean maximum for June and July was 18.2C, the lowest since 1998 when a mean of 17.6C was recorded for the two months. The mean minimum for June and July was 8.2C, the coldest for three years.

Is 46 f really wimpy where you are?

Ever since school got out in May, I've felt like I'm losing interest in music. At first, it was minor. All through June, I would play guitar for three hours every day, but I would hit occasional burnouts.

Now, I don't seem to have much interest in music. I'm playing guitar every day, but only for about a hour. I'm doing this less out of sheer desire than perceived duty; I want to increase my musical abilities whether I enjoy it or not. I'm listening to Watain right now. I'm enjoying it, but passively so. That's how I've felt for the past month. I can hardly remember what it felt like to truly enjoy music. All I remember that it was great. I took it for granted, and it felt mundane. Now, my current lack of interest feels mundane. This makes me wonder if it's just an illusion- maybe I never enjoyed music anymore than I currently do; I'm merely tricking myself into thinking that.

This is really pissing me off. I feel like my worldview is and was rooted in metal. The world revolved around metal to me. Why doesn't it seem that way now? Why would my mind, my greatest fucking ally, do this to itself.

I know that I seem like I'm exaggerating or being overdramatic, but it's hard to explain how I feel without sounding that way.

I'd appreciate some advice, other than "seek mental help" or "stop listening to music".

I'm trying to think of why I feel this way. I was grounded from listening music from March to May because of my grades, however, I still listened to it anyways in secrecy. I don't really believe in karma, I've always thought it was a load of bullshit, but part of my mind thinks that this is the result of karma. I must be a slave to it.

Aren't you like 12?

 

[PrincessHades]

Aren't you like 12?

Actually, I'm 16. And what the fuck does my age have to do with anything I just said?

You're acting like you're having an identity crisis before you really even have an identity.

 

[mutantllama]

lol 46 is pretty much tshirt weather in Maine.

 

[Krow]

WV is one of those fun states where you can have a humid 95 degree day in the summer and dip into the negative not even factoring in wind chill on winter nights.

 

[CiG]

That's just hilarious.

 

[EternalMetal]

You know what else is hilarious? The sheer amount of wildlife that can fucking kill you in Australia. Would love to visit someday though.

We have similar weather in NJ as Krow has in WV, but it also results in having a variety of seasons to enjoy.

 

[PrincessHades]

My school finally fucked the hair length rule that I whine and bitch about constantly.

Thanks for the help.

By the way, you'd be glad to know that I've come to realize that GG Allin is punk. Not hardcore. "Hardcore" was the scene involving Black Flag, Dead Kennedys, etc. GG Allin is just extremely stripped down, raw, extreme punk.

I feel more interested in music now. Sometimes, my interest in music will crash and I will get extremely upset, but I'm fine the next day. I think it's a psychological illusion.

 

[PrincessHades]

Most of his stuff is rawer punk, but his really late period stuff could technically be considered hardcore punk.

Hardcore is generally an abandonment of traditional punk structure. Brutality and Bloodshed For All is pretty standard as far as structure goes.

Some of the songs on the bonus version of You Give Love a Bad Name are hardcore, like Slaughterhouse Deathcamp. Suck My Ass It Smells is hardcore too, but theirs no sense in making those distinctions.

Maybe you're not so bad.

 

[CiG]

GG Allin has like, 4 songs you could at a stretch call hardcore punk. The overwhelming majority of his material is not that.

 

[PrincessHades]

I suppose so. Hey, I've been debating this with myself for years, but would you count this song as metal or not?

He's punk, but most of his fans are metalheads. Punks now are too pussy to listen to GG Allin. Musically, he's as metal as Motorhead is punk.

Sorry, I thought you were talking about GG. Ted Nugent is metal IMO.
