I dont know if yer joking or not but I liked grunge alot, with the noteable exception of Nirvana - I can honestly say I've never ever listened to a song of theirs other than when someone else was playing it in a car or whatnot

I'm dead serious sire. We need a grunge, nu-metal, white rap, or other mainstream type to rise from the ashes and reclaim every faggoth who has slipped away from their "rightful" genre into the one which we all love. I can't even go to a concert anymore without throwing up in my mouth.

you might have a point there....maybe limp bizkit served a purpose after all, albeit the least noble purpose to which a band could aspire. well i guess somebody's gotta take one for the team, and it's time RC stepped up to the plate and did its share for metal. we're starting a rap/grunge band:
jerry i don't think you have a shaved head but all good rap grunge bands have one dude with a shaved head so start clipping

i'm sciencing as fast as i can
I agree with this thread, I'm very sick of going to metal shows and seeing douche bags all over. Moshing and pushing me while I'm watching really pisses me off. Also I hate when you are standing next to a dude that has long hair, who hasn't washed it for a year, and then whips it in your face from headbanging uncontrolably.
Have you guys seen douchebags with corpse paint on at a show?

I can remember going to a show at a college back in Febuary, and there were TONS of emo kids there. They pretty much ruined it for all of the bands too. They went into the bathroom and punched/kicked a bunch of holes in the wall. No more bands can play there. There were about 6 little kids there too that were moshing with everyone else. I'm talking about kids from 5-10 years old.

HAHA I actually shaved my head about 4 months ago. Heil Hitler.
Damn I'm dress well.
At Blind Guardian I was being whipped in the face by an oily faced teen whose hair resembled Susperia's bikini line. Wtf, can you not feel the resistance of your split ends banging up against my forehead? It was as if my nose hairs were being invited back to the mothership!
Not only in concert, but I've seen faggoths dawned in corpse paint walk in to the Amoeba on sunset.

Judging by the responses, everyone knows the answer already...when metalcore and emo unleashed a plague of douchebags upon the land. I prefer to let them wallow in their bad taste instead of actively despising them...another trend to drive the public perception of "metal" back underground would be welcome, but it will be every bit as annoying. If there's one thing I'm certain of, it's that the mainstream never learns and scenes are for know-nothing fanboys.
You guys arn't alowed to talk shit about the 'scene' that you all constantly distance yourself from. The 'scene' includes the lifestyle, which you all vehemently tell to fuck off because it 'doesn't matter'.
You ARE the people at shows that make people throw up in their mouths.
Listening to metal doesn't make you part of the metal scene, it makes you somone who listens to metal.
/elitist rant. True though.
Jeeeeeeesus chriiiiiiist and people ask when the 'scene'/forum 'jumped the shark. Sheesh. People bitching about headbanging at a fucking metal show. Give me a break. You bitch about moshing AND headbanging, in the same post. Disgusting. Go sit at the bar if you are that much of a metrosexual. It's not a god damn acid jazz show.

so "living the lifestyle" includes having long hair, wearing black band t-shirts whilst bugging mom and dad for a lift to wherehouse music to buy the latest opeth album with dishwasher chore money?
how does one join?

No, 'living the lifestyle' = actually being part of your local scene. IE: hanging out with local bands, supporting them, going to practice spaces, buying their merch, partying with the local 'scene', knowing people, helping put on shows, help promote, blahblahblah all seems pretty obvious to me.
People here seem to associate the term 'lifestyle' with some dumb airheads fantasy like you describe. I know doctors and lawyers as well as homeless bums, college professors, normal old family folks, even one 60 year old black dude that is at every show ever, and always comes to buy records at the shop I work at. All part of the 'scene' (ugh) in Boston.
You would think it would all be pretty obvious, really.
The scene does not = the fucking internet and going to shows sporadically.
Yes, this is a discombobulated rant, but someone has to know what I'm saying.
