Whats the deal with indie kids being into metal? (1 Viewer)

[brianoak]

This isnt directed at anyone in particular by the way.

Why is it suddenly acceptable?
Its always the same bands too i.e Mastadon,Converge etc etc.

Would a Slayer T-shirt wear the print off a snow patrol one when placed in the same drawer?

does it really bother you that much?? maybe they just like a different range of t-shirts

I blame Bam Vagera.

What's Bam short for anyway? Bamber?

 

[RED(tape)MENACE]

The champs rule.

 

[Pantone247]

I don't really like metal

 

[Vinnie]

Who decides whether they are indie kids into metal or metal kids into indie?

I fucking do too.Ruined the integrity of Turbonegro and Clutch.

Hag:its not so much the t-shirt as some people being into a select section of music of that ilk and acting like they invented it or something.
I think comes down to the fact that I dont beleive most people are half as open minded as they would have you beleive..

a lot of the time it's 'ironic'.

which is pretty crappy.

(i don't listen to all that much metal, but i do like the stuff i listen to, or find it intriguing or interesting or whatever, and not in a 'ha ha, this is, like, so bad it's good' way.)

mastodon are kind of 'heavy rock' as much as metal (no doubt someone will dispute this but anyway), so that's why the indie kids feel a bit more comfy with them.

the other side of the equation is people - usually punk types - insisting that certain bands are 'hardcore' when they're plainly metal. it's like people just can't bring themselves to admit that, yes, they're listening to metal.

Debatable.

yeah, the stupid ones... all that is a case of "I'm into metal but all the girls in the metal scene are mingers (what few girls there are) so I'm going to be all indie cause the girls are better looking.... then I can be 'ironic' about my metal past"


true blue indie kids, like me, get really uptight about this kinda crap

 

[Unclealo]

Debatable.

Well some of them. I know loads of people who grew up on thrash and wound up listening to stuff like Yo La Tengo. Does this count?

I didn't even know there was such a thing as an "indie kid" until pretty recently
