122. Your only use for vinyl records is as a frisbee.

I'll see your pretentious, self-fellating hipster nonsense and raise you an unintended interpretation of this entire article as extremely ironic:

 

125. You say anything you don't listen to must suck.

What the hell is mallcore? Is it yet another unnecessary subset of the punk/rock/metal spectrum? Your ways to identify didn't really help me. Then again I like indy and rock, so maybe the problem is the whole punk-rock-metal mashup is closed to me.

I'm sure there's a clause missing about opinionated, full-of-themselves teenagers compiling lists of stereotypes to post on the internet in the mistaken belief that this highlights their own 'individuality' and is somehow 'cool' or 'hardcore' or even funny :rolleyes:

 

 

Oh, and re-read the forum rules with regard to the 'unmentionables'.

[SerpentofShadow]

While I agree with the majority of those, there are a few I heavily disagree with. While the author of that does make a decent amount of accurate comments about the mainstream bands, what he is claiming is more underground and really fit the descriptions of metal, death metal, and black metal I think are contradictions to his arguments. I would go into more detail but I don't want to get too heated over this. Especially because there are only about 10-12 at most that I actually disagree with, haha.

 

Edited: Was also thinking that, thank you Theta Orionis. :)

And if you get offended, you're stupid.

 

Thanks for that. :glare:
