#10 and #51 contradict eachother. and some of it gets real repetative, other then that i'd say it's a pretty accurate description of all the poser kids i went to highschool with. quality brockton lifeforms. :tightiewhities:

21. You're under 20 years old and claim to like "extreme music."
cmon just cuz some fans r younger means they cant know what real metal is?
[Feb 11,2003 3:09pm - TheGreatSpaldino ""]
honestly... i have had a couple kids come up to me in school and go "DUDE!!!! did you know that Incubus used to play death metal?!"
i wanted to maim and kill them...
also... i never realized that Korn ripped off Morbid Angel. i am going to investigate that.
and you mean to say that Cannibal Corpse DIDNT invent death metal?! :shocked:
[Feb 11,2003 10:40pm - TomNehek ""]
I'm only 18, and I own 200 death/grind/metalcore cds. I listen to more metal than most older metal dudes I know... so fuck that! How many people even listen to Mortal Decay????! I know I do!
Also, why do people think tool is Nu-Metal/Mall metal? Tool is awesome. If you look at their Music and live show, its nothing at all like that of any other Nu/mall band. They actually have vast musical knowledge.
[Feb 12,2003 12:06am - TheGreatSpaldino ""]
people exaggerate Maynard's lyrical "genius" . Tool is a quality band that is worth a listen from time to time. although, i would take Shape of Despair or Desire or Empyrium over Tool for a relaxation session but thats just me...
[Feb 14,2003 4:45pm - Harkins ""]
32. You think death metal is Satanic????????
[Feb 14,2003 7:09pm - Hoser ""]
Ya I'd say that this post is pretty accurate. However, I say "Y'all" all the time, but I have a valid excuse: I'm an inbred southern boy (NC.) I also think that sheep are attractive from time to time, depending on what I dress them in.
Thank God that people like us exist.
[Feb 14,2003 8:25pm - exhumed4death ""]

[Feb 15,2003 2:45am - Terence ""]
20? I used to listen to death metal when I was 12, with Morbid Angel's Covenant..., way back in 92, im 21 now. The terrible irony is that I bought it at Strawberries. hah.
[Feb 16,2003 9:02pm - TheGreatSpaldino ""]
i have been listening to metal since i was 8... it doesnt really make much difference who was the first kid in their grade to wear a megadeth shirt (i was to be exact) or whatever. just enjoy the music and not be a fucking lamer about it. :NEWHORNS:
[Mar 13,2003 4:31pm - RickOfFarmtown ""]

[Mar 14,2003 3:56am - TheGreatSpaldino ""]

[Mar 14,2003 9:32am - Joe/NotCommon ""]
i just woke up so i didn't read the list, but I assume it says 'when you mosh you try to do kung fu and only hit the people who aren't in the pit because you are a pussy'

#132, you think you are the most discriminated against because of the way you look, yet you say you dress a certain way "to be different".
***greatest post EVER!

Despite all the trolling, there's no doubt in my mind that RTTP is overall a much smarter forum than it was in the days of this thread.

Damn.
