Wellll..... I think kids these days don't even know what metal is.
Dude, you're what, 17 or 18 years old? "Kids these days"????

I agree, maybe 60 percent <i>are</i> listening to metal, but they probably listen to other stuff too, and alot more of it.
God forbid people have more eclectic tastes than True Believers (read: narrow-minded) such as yourself.

This new society is just catching this "metophorical heavy bus" to popularity.
I bet that sounded really clever in your head.

Because being "different" is cooll these days, maybe they would say blues. Since heavy metal isn't such a rariety anymore.....Arghhhhh bloody Generation X or whatever. Just stop listening to my music and i'll be happy lol
Of course, the real reason you're cut is that you're not so different and edgy yourself when every second kid walking down the street is the same as you.

Pretty much.
Everything is just IMO, don't get too edgy about it =]

Well about your opinion... It's pretty pathetic to be honest with you and just shows how shallow your mind is. Who cares if every second kid is listening to the same sounds as you? Perhaps you garner something from the music that they don't, listening to music is a highly individualised subjective experience...

If you're given a questionnaire and asked "do you listen to blues or heavy metal" which sounds cooler?
Actually that's a contradiction. Because being "different" is cooll these days, maybe they would say blues. Since heavy metal isn't such a rariety anymore.....Arghhhhh bloody Generation X or whatever. Just stop listening to my music and i'll be happy lol

I like Karnivool =]
What the fuck? I'd be stoked to have a mate to talk to about seeing Celtic Frost or something. All of my mates hate extreme metal.

You whinge about how no one listens to metal, yet you namedrop Karnivool?

I listen to Metal AND Classical, does that mean I'm pure awesome?

Edit: 70's progressive rock is pretty damn cool too. And general 60's/70's rock. Mmm.

Yay! But why am I failing 2 unit maths?
There are several different types of intellect, and it may be the case that music doesn't help the arithmetic intelligence

i've always heard that music and maths are related.

like people that are good at music are most likely good at maths.

i'm talking classical music here.

Why buy one when your dad owns 7? :D Actually it might even be 8 now.. i think he bought himself another for last christmas.

And yeah, i do plan on learning guitar once i finish my HSC... I do too little work as it is, without learning an instrument in my list of things to do..
