this is pretty sad[views:22339][posts:151]__________________________________ [Mar 2,2011 7:59pm - Boozegood ""] boxxy said:wow, i can't believe i was reading all of this thread. I realized that i was wrong to try, and decided to make a statement based on what i HAVE read.. Alex is right, it's absolutely stupid to get mad because a band, or type of music you like is being marketed in new ways that you're not used to. What is REALLY going on is this: You love to be different. You can't stand to think that you might be into something that's actually popular, because that would make you NORMAL. And seeing a band or type of music you like marketed to a demographic that you consider to be normal... hurts.... :( Where the hell did you pull this out of? That line of reasoning doesnt even make sense. If I am ohsoscared of being 'normal' ('conforming') or liking something popular why would I dress like a metalhead and love Iron Maiden? Burzum mesh shorts would be gay and I am sorry if you can't see why. |
