I think they are using their naturally obscure presence in the metal world as a gimmick, and it kinda worked, but not on me! Lousy music~!

Pull out your old photo albums. You looked like a tard at 17! Don't lie.

What, are you kidding? I wish I could go back to my old dress code. 17, I didn't really care about my appearance, which worked to my advantage. Sadly, I became self aware that, although I liked, and still admire my old look, girls looked down on anyone who wore a black t-shirt and a pair of black pants at the same time. CHRIST, what happened to good guys wear black? God forbid, and blue jeans weren't enough either, they gotta be $$$, and compliment some ratty ass, over priced button up. Wear anything less, and you can forget even talking to (HOT) girls at a party. I'm more embarrassed of my current photos, where I look like a dick, because I let wrestling force me to cut my hair, just so I don't feel like the dick I think I look like during practice.

Old Glory? Tell me more. Most shops I shopped at pre-Air Force, like Allston Beat, have gone uber-homo and I'm not down with dressing like that! Hahahaha!

http://www.oldglory.com/lp/main

As you can see, similar to Hot Topic, but without the suck. To get to the one in real life, just get on the Pike until you get to exit 10 - Auburn. It's a straight shot to Auburn Mall (Shadows Fall did a signing there this summer; that's how I discovered it).

Excellent! Do they go beyond XL? I'm a 250lb dude, not fat, and XL just doesn't cut it with me! I need XXL or XXXL!

Hell if I know. What am I, your personal stylist? Look at their website.

What am I? Gay? I don't need a personal stylist!

Just thought you may know. I shall now look at their website lest you yell at me again!

The ratio is 4,000 metal guys to 1 metal girl, at least in Illinois.

It appears that they only go to XL there, as well. Damn those emo kids to hell!! I can fit into an XL and it appears to look fine, but man it's feels so restricted. I like my shit baggy. I'm like a heavy metal wigger!

I must say that experience has shown me that the people who are really, really into metal do not look like they would be at all. I've met so many people that look like they'd be down with Black Eyed Peas and shit, and they like roll into work with Deicide blasting out of their car! Hahahaha. And the people I know who really look like they love metal are the ones that jump on bandwagons like crazy! They have new favorite bands all the time. No big deal, but they always then claim that their previous "favorite" bands aren't that great anymore, they've changed, etc...hehehe.

Azrael · **Posted:** Tue Oct 04, 2005 2:26 pm

yes, that is correct, for every male metal fan there is 1 female metal fan.

Indeed, damn them to hell. I wish I could find that Shadows Fall shirt that said "Eating Emo Kids for Breakfast."

People that hop trends aren't confined to one specific trend. There are posers in metal yes, but many of us dress the way we do, or wear our hair long because we want to, or because we enjoy it. I would bet good money that the percent of people who willingly and happily pay stupid amounts of money to wear to current trendy clothing items and such are far less than those who don't. There is one reason that people dress like that: To fit in. Yeah, OFC wants to get him some, but he needed to fit into that group in order to do so. Similarly, those who would claim that it just "makes them happy" are no doubt telling the truth, but they are not really particular about the look itself. They associate the feeling that they get, the fact that it allows them to fit in with popular society and gain friends based solely on their external and superficial attributes. They repress their own personalities and interests if they don't fit with the image they need, and change on a whim in order to keep the priveledges of that image. These people are not champions of integrity and consistency.

Obviously there are people who will grow their hair and wear black clothes or whatever for the same reasons, but there is a distinct difference between subcultures and mainstream culture, just as there is a distinct difference in why someone would want to be part of either.

Implying that somehow, anyone who doesn't look at all metal is more stable in their music or other tastes than someone who does is absurd. It's possible in a single instance, but nowhere near reasonable when you attempt to apply it on a large scale.

Eyesore · **Posted:** Wed Oct 05, 2005 3:03 am

What I wear is dictated by how much it costs! If I walk by Old Navy and see a sale on $5 t-shirts that say weird shit like "Billy's Alligator Grill - Miami, FL" or something similar, I don't care, I'm buying a couple! Hahaha.

Thus, I have no specific style. One day metal, the next day wigger, the next day neo-hippe, etc.! Hahahaha.
