Yeah.
Screams and growls aren't even that hard to understand if you pay attention.
I can understand if you can't tell what a squealer is saying, maybe, but growls and screams are easy to understand depending on who's doing it.

Oh my fucking god, I saw that video a couple weeks ago, pissed me off SO bad.

"I'd like to see a rocker or a 'metalist' try and do a hip-hop beat, they'd go crying back to all their baby metalhead friends"

They have no idea what they're talking about. I was so unbelievably angry after I heard that.

I consider anything after 2004 to be new, lmao.
Anything between 1997-2003 is fairly recent.

Ugh, god.
Just the other day in my car, that Since U Been Gone song by Kelly Clarkson came on on the radio, and my sister goes "Wooooow, this song is really old."
I switch the channel, and People Are Strange by the Doors comes on.

Not a word from her.

That's cool.
The only people around here that know about IWABO are me, James, and our friend Mike.
No one else knows about it.

Yeah.
Right now, the growing scene (thankfully) is deathcore, metalcore, etc. so we have a bunch of decent bands around. Most of the area is still into the nationally accepted stuff, but as soon as the scene changes, so will everyone else.
And I'm sure all the decent bands will dissipate. Or at least most of em will.

Also.
I saw "Britney Spears" in the video title and I x'ed out. Eugh.

I think it's about time the people who listen to real music started cracking down on all the juggalos, scene kids, new-age ganstas and whatnot, just like we've always been stereotyped to.

I always get labeled as a metalhead elitist prick, when I never even talk to anyone outside my little clique, much less about music.

Oh Christ, I fucking hate juggalos and juggalettes.
Scum of the planet. There's no reason their favorite band should be a god damn religion.
ICP is WAAAAY too big.

Ah man.
I go to a school where I'm in this clique where we're the only kids who listen to decent music in the school.
I talk to no one else, period.
It's ridiculous, our schools are so crowded.
I was in a 9th grade class with 3000+ kids total last year.
That's not counting the rest of the HS.
Ridiculous.

Hahahaha, holy fucking shit, I wish my school district would do stuff like that, that sounds too fun.
My school is lame as hell though.
