I was just down at the local shithole having a beer with Silky and all went well. On my way home, I stopped at another local shithole to buy a pack of cigarrettes.

Low and behold:

I see this faggy, scraggy mid length haired faggo with a white belt. So I'm thinking to myself, this kid must be "Grind." Because that's what I heard on this website. Grind kids wear white belts right? Then it dawned upon me that Grind now has it's own fashion. Fashion is fucking gay and we should leave that to the Cosmo models. Instead, fashion has now entered my beloved metal. This is where I draw the line.

Fashion and metal are 10000000000000000 miles apart. Always has been. Now some fag is trying to fill the status quo by wearing his "colors" (white belt.) I'm sure that Scott Hull of Pig Destroyer doesn't even think about wearing a white belt. And he is pure grind.

Conclusion: The fucking faggots have slimed their way into my beloved metal and are going to put a label on it like every other corporate WHORE. I would have loved to see him bleed all over his faggy white T-shirt too....fucking scenester queerbait.

chances are he's on this site...

I'm picturing scott hull in a white belt right now...
damn that's hot!

also music and fashion and pop-culture are ALL intertwined.

Rev,

That is such a smoking picture of Scott Hull. You win the Life Magazine award for that one....notice that there is no faggy white belt in that picture?

What I'm getting at is that if you think it's about the clothes that you wear....music, and Metal in particular are not 1st and foremost. Metal and music isn't about fashion...it's about the fucking music, and love for it. If you're in it for fashion, you're in it for all of the wrong reasons.

but if you wear a white belt and girls pants you will get laid. and that is what being in a band is all about.

umm... maybe get laid by another guy... but from a girl's perspective, ew!

Hoser, you're right, people should wear whatever they want. But that means that if they want to, they should wear a white belt and girl pants. I am pretty sure that the whole reason there are a lot of people into hardcore that wear girl pants is to express the fact that all the people they are friends with don't give a rat's ass what they wear. And it's not like they only wear girl pants, most of them have guy pants too. So all I'm saying is, you could tag anything as being a metal fashion, and therefore a "faggy" trend, like band shirts, tattoos (don't you think that at least 50% of all metal musicians and fans have tattoos?), hats, boots, LONG HAIR, etc.

I always make fun of the fashion scene fags. Then I say to myself "wait a minute, i have semi-long hair, denim jacket, bullet belt, band shirts, and patches, so arent I also following a fashion" then I say to myself "yeah, but my fashion is cooler than white belts and girls pants and a backpack with nothing in it" Why do hardcore kids and fashion kids always have backpack?

I heard that they carry around their dirty laundry in that backpack. They stuff it right next to their Trapper Keeper....

hoser im e-mailing you right now
