06.03.09 | That's when you get all pretentious and intelligently put them in their place for liking crap and explain why they are idiots and you are better than them. |
jingledeath
06.03.09 | sad |
kitsch
06.03.09 | everyone at my high school used to love arcade fire |
jrowa001
06.03.09 | something similar happened to me in my college English class when i wrote and presented about an Opeth song and everybody had a dumb face as if what they were listening to was the worst thing in the world. but all the other kids played mainstream rap and pop music. they had stupid presentations since their songs had horrible lyrics |
ninjuice
06.03.09 | They really said that? WTF is wrong with female vocals? |
Waior
06.03.09 | Yeah, this happens all the time unfortunately. It's a bit depressing, isn't it? It really is. |
kitsch
06.03.09 | btw arcade fire isnt that good |
po0ty
06.03.09 | The large majority of people don't listen to that much music- nevermind metal or music with harsh vocals. no matter how good the instrumentation when people hear the growls/screams they get turned off rightaway |
Waior
06.03.09 | well, of course. it's an acquired taste. nobody pops out of a womb and hear's death growls and thinks "wow, that rules." |
Knott-
06.03.09 | the large majority of people don't LIKE music. they tolerate it and dance to it. |
Fugue
06.03.09 | I agree with Benzum |
foreverendeared
06.03.09 | "the large majority of people don't LIKE music. they tolerate it and dance to it." well, no offense but that's a pretty stupid thing to say.
oh the story is definitely a downer. i've had similar experiences of my own and it can be very frustrating. |
kitsch
06.03.09 | "well, of course. it's an acquired taste. nobody pops out of a womb and hear's death growls and thinks "wow, that rules.""
when i was 3 my dad says that my favorite music was slayer.
he would put it on and i would go crazy.

bloc
06.03.09 | seriously, what grade are you in if kids laugh at music? |
Waior
06.03.09 | well, kitsch... you still popped out of the womb three years too late for that. haha
people will always laugh at music. |
foreverendeared
06.03.09 | "seriously, what grade are you in if kids laugh at music?"
you'd be surprised by the common person's musical ignorance |
bloc
06.03.09 | hell, i come from toronto, i am aware of shit musical tastes.
but where is this fool from? california? i can imagine people laughing there. |
kitsch
06.03.09 | dude you cant be that literal |
Waior
06.03.09 | go big or go home |
myhigherpie
06.03.09 | I had to present and sign a song in my sign langauge class and I picked the earth will shake and as soon as he screamed they all started to call me emo -_- |
bloc
06.03.09 | yeah, the act of being "emo" was big in my high school. if a guy just wanted to be alone and enjoy peace and quiet in solitude, he was a damn wrist-cutting emo. fuckin pissed me off. |
Shrapnel94
06.03.09 | I am in high school, so I am one freshman out of 20 other kids, whose grades range from freshman to senior. I am 15 and I live in New Jersey. |
illmitch
06.03.09 | i wish we still had shit like that in college i would make everyone listen to like gucci mane or something |
Cubik125
06.03.09 | 1, 2, 4 are amazing and i've been meaning to get 3 but I can't find it anywhere. Everyone in my high school just listened to mainstream rap and country... pep assemblies sucked. |
Serpento
06.03.09 | shit, even my hippity-hoppity friends know stuff like Arcade Fire and the like. sucks. |
joshuatree
06.03.09 | fuck man niggas disrespecting that arcade fire |
shade
06.03.09 | People are stupid. Oh, well. at least you get +10 "I'm so indie" points, lol. |
BallsToTheWall
06.03.09 | Every presentation i've made over the past past few years have all been about metal and the sound samples. I suppose nobody piped up due to my constant edgieness but had this happened, I'd probaly choke a bitch. Do that next time. |
handoman
06.03.09 | people irl are so gay |
Electric City
06.03.09 | damn thats pretty sad |
Tulannical
06.03.09 | i would have liked it! I'm a freshman too. People's music taste in general in high school pisses me off cuz its so bad |
pneumoniahawk93
06.03.09 | I know what you mean. I had a similar experience 2 days ago, where I used Hexagram by Deftones to desribe terrorist bombings, and I got sent out by my teacher for using contraversial music. |
TheNewWhack
06.03.09 | I totally popped out loving death growls. |
myhigherpie
06.03.09 | ya I showed bloodbath to my class like, 6 months ago and they all thought satan was talking at them through the music.
funny shit. |
Greggers
06.03.09 | Today my mate started playing At the Gates on his phone in the common room and someone shouts out "turn that off its making me wanna slit my wrists".
The ignorance of some people really grinds my gears.... |
myhigherpie
06.03.09 | lol r u serious?
shoulda told that fucktard off.
I know I would've. |
fireaboveicebelow
06.03.09 | then make him slit his wrists, I fucking hate ignorant people |
myhigherpie
06.03.09 | metalheads don't cut themselves... they cut other people!!! |
BallsToTheWall
06.03.09 | Generally a metalhead with a certain edgieness to him keeps people quite because they think you'll put something out and attack somebody. I know because i'm edgy as hell. |
myhigherpie
06.03.09 | I wish I was as edgy as you balls.
I just come off as quiet when I try to be edgy lol.
My teacher thought I listened to country because of how quiet I was and because my jacket was brown lol. |
BallsToTheWall
06.03.09 | Just start drinking alot of caffeine. |
Waior
06.03.09 | I wish people knew I was a metalhead. Then they'd stfu.
Toooo bad. I'm sort of in vain of myhigherpie |

shortone323
06.03.09 | Feel your pain. In my english class we had to present a song/poem. Suprisingly I didn't get too much mainstream garbage, but I was looking for something good, with lyrics that wasn't mainstream crap. Settled on goodbye my love by lovehatehero, some girl goes "screamo" even though there was maybe one scream in there. And no one even seemed to notice the solo lol. Couldn't imagine if i had done before their eyes or in a moment of pure craziness, demons by darkest hour. |
ThyCrossAwaits
06.04.09 | people are uncultured flaming idiots. hated Neon Bible actually, but All Time Low just blows so hard... |
kalphiteman4
06.04.09 | Your story reminds me of when i brought in 3's The End is Begun for my history class one time (my teacher let us bring in cds to put on in the background), and some people just went and turned it off. I brought in Opeth's Ghost reveries the next day and like 8 kids asked to go out into the hall because the music was too annoying. |
myhigherpie
06.04.09 | it's ok man... you're better than them. |
CompanionCube
06.04.09 | i laugh so hard when i imagine the kid in your profile pic trying to be edgy |
natey
06.04.09 | i feel your pain. "In the Backseat" fucking rules. music theory class is the best place to show off your taste. everyone was awed by "Swedenborgske Rom" and a good Stars song for the most part.
who the fuck would want to write to falloutboy |
TheNewWhack
06.04.09 | for edginess whiskey>coffee. especially if you're drinking it at 8:30 in the morning.
^^^ that. |
BallsToTheWall
06.04.09 | Actually i'm naturally edgy, Just my nature. |
PayneTiger777
06.04.09 | It really pisses me off when people with shit taste in music get genres completely wrong just because of a scream, but then again, they are retarded. |
natey
06.04.09 | chillax bro you don't need to use slurs |
WhiteWallStargazers
06.04.09 | My school actually does have some elite people but the majority of them are either into rap or post-hardcore/hardcore crap like Drop Dead, Gorgeous |
ziroth
06.04.09 | the most elite thing anybody at my school listens to is Pink Floyd. But that's just judging from the Dark Side of the Moon t-shirts. Actually in the latest school newspaper there was a Dark Was the Night review and it was pretty sweet but I don't know who wrote it. Other than that I don't know if anyone knows what indie is. |
BenedictVII
06.04.09 | I wouldn't have cared about your story if it wasn't Funeral. Don't worry when the end comes all injustices will be made right |
MassiveAttack
06.04.09 | Used to have presentations on bands I enjoyed ranging from Soundgarden, Massive Attack, Melvins, etc. Nobody EXCEPT my teacher (who was an obvious hippie) knew who they were. A+ on final 'cause she loved Massive Attack. Hoorays. |
ziroth
06.04.09 | How do people not know who Soundgarden is? Ugh |
MassiveAttack
06.04.09 | lol dude you have no idea how sad things were. I knew only a few kids who actually enjoyed shit other than what was played on the radio during that time. IE: Green Day (American Idiot), Yellowcard (are you fucking kidding me!), I could go on, but I won't. I remember talking to a girl in my class about Yellowcard. "You won't give a fuck about them when they release another album". She told me I was right the next year rofl. Other than the lack of musical integrity especially the Homecoming dances with all the fucking annoying one-hit-wonder hip-hop artists that inhabit high schools across America, High School was a good time. Kinda miss it =( . |
ziroth
06.04.09 | Yep, the majority of high school students have horrible taste in music. |
natey
06.04.09 | lately i've become sort of a music missionary at my school. one kid is hooked on Mars VOlta and At the Drive-in, another is getting into Moving Mountains and post-rock, while the other kid is digesting Dredg. all are slowly being treated to post-rock. baby steps. |
MassiveAttack
06.04.09 | I played GSYBE! in my car one day and all of my friends said it sounded like funeral music. And I said fuck off soulja boy. Only one of 'em knew Sigur Ros (which he loves to listen to when he gets high). |
ziroth
06.04.09 | You need to come to my school, before it's too late. Don't know if you can turn them though, they're sooo closed minded |
thediamondcanopy
06.20.09 | I feel really bad because I'm the reason all these fucking kids run around with Chiodos and The Almost t-shirts. I let my friend borrow All's Well That Ends Well because he like the Red Jumpsuit Apparatus and as a desperate move gave him some more "progressive" screamo. Got that kid hook and started taking his friends to shows.
Now I listen to a lot of the original screamo stuff and post-rock, stuff that motivates me to be a better musician. All these kids see is a Myspace page and flashy ads. I'll admit, I did get him into some good stuff though... |
myhigherpie
06.20.09 | thediamondcanopy, you should really check out Circle Takes the Square. I have a feeling you would like it. |
Cerbyrus
07.02.09 | when in doubt, play some progressive rock |
