Metal Sucks

I will say heavy metal is what makes my world go round, but God damn if they don't have some of the most pathetic fans ever. Any redneck can gladly call themselves a country fan and fit right in at any concert or social gathering and not have to try. Black people of any size, shape and form and white people trying to be black can jump right on the rap bandwagon and while I may think you're an inferior person, it's not a big deal. Nobody claims to be a fan of jazz, classical, easy listening, etc., but you can tell the people who are indifferent towards music usually fall into that category. The rock and metal world is where it gets complicated though. There are tons of frat kids of both genders that jump on the top 40 rock radio bandwagon of bands like Shinedown, Disturbed, Godsmack, Creed, Green Day and everyone else that may or may not suck. They are usually easy to identify as the people who attend and look forward to that one really shitty radio festival you can care less about aside from the one good band that got thrown in there to cater to everyone's likings. There are the people on the cusp of pop rock and hard rock/metal who are familiar with the names of Slayer, Pantera, Metallica, Iron Maiden and Judas Priest and wear their retro shirts everywhere just dying to make conversation about their new found love. You can usually distinguish them by their total apathy of trying to get into new music and their knowitall-ness towards those few bands even though they don't know shit. And then you have the metal world. There is half of the crowd that listens to what they like regardless of how they feel or how others think of them, then there is the other half that is totally elitist bullshit of only liking a band or two here and there or the fat fucks and frat kids who are too cool for alt rock and pop so they go to metal shows to express their badass selves. You can usually tell by them acting like 8 year old school girls when a musician comes in their vicinity, not knowing the lyrics to the songs but screaming about how it's their favorite song, and not having any respect for their fellow metalheads. These are the people that piss me off the most. The fat fucks wearing plain white t-shirts that are going to a concert their buddy told them about to fail at getting laid, sweat all over you, jump on you to beg the guitarist for a pick and stand there like total tools the entire night while making absurd comments that make you just want to punch them in the jugular until their face turns blue and you can use them as a pedestal to see the show better. These are the faggots that steal setlists before the show is actually over and either leave at the encore or believe that every band will keep coming back for more and more encores as long as the crowd asks for it. They think just because it's half past the hour that a band can and will play another thirty minutes just because they asked for it. These people make metal suck. They don't buy music, they download it or don't listen at all and they are just leeches at shows that only help the clubs by drowning themselves in shitty beer to feel accomplished and cool. These people should die, and the metal world would be a much better place.
