J: they sound like an STD!
M: haha they do a bit :) remember, we saw them play supporting testament?
J: oh god, was that them?! ;/
M: yeah, they were that awful metalcorey (LOL metalcorey haha) shit when we saw them at islington. they're from reading or slough i think. TM's ex housemate had a hoodie of theirs :/
J: maybe that's the sound of new thrash. i've seen that term thrown about recently, new thrash, or modern day thrash. bands don't sound like thrash as we know, so if that's the future progression of thrash, then i'll stick to 1986 thanks.
M: nu-thrash :((((
J: yeah, but then the modern bands playing old thrash get ripped on for being posers, i think a lot of people are getting sick on the thrash revivial, too. i prefer it to the sleaze bands tho, the gays that behave like nikki sixx, etc. I don't include crashdiet in this, but they're sorta in that boat :/
M: poor crashdiet :( but i guess with thrash or sleaze revival, there's good and bad bands in each, it's just a shame there's more bad than good
J: i think people are just sick of bands wearing denim cut-offs with patches, tight jeans and hi-tops like it's the 80's again. kinda like how hellyeah is formed mainly of nu metal bands, one of which being mudvayne, who wore makeup on stage, but now in hellyeah behave like they've been cowboys all their lives.
M: yeah, it's just conforming to an imagine in the same way as any other band or type of music. i think people are tired of people just turning up in some kind of expected uniform and people are pretty wise to that kind of shit now. if machine head turned up in spikes, greaves, leather trousers etc it wouldn't make them behemoth but so many bands seem to think that's a good move. people don't wear what they want, they're wearing what they feel they're expected to and it just looks as manufactured as boyzone or some other horror
J: i think you can only get away wearing the shit i mentioned if you're from south america or related countries. other than that, if you're from the UK, America, then you just come across as a chump in 2009. Or you look like you're on your way to a fancy dress party.
> people don't wear what they want, they're wearing what they feel they're expected to and it just looks as manufactured as boyzone or some other horror
it's true, that's why i hate it when metal fans claim to be individuals, when they all look like the next man
M: same with a lot of subcultures tho :( same with goths and all that shit - trying to be so different, but just creating another uniform
J: individualism isn't rife in metal :)
M: no, not at all! annoying though, because they do go on about how important it is in metal, shit like that. but if you're not the same as everyone else, you won't fit in, simple as
J: you wonder why i hate most metal fans :) :)
M: no, i get it, i'm just more tolerant of wankers than you. plus i own both a slipknot and a korn t-shirt, so i understand that looking like a wanker can sometimes happen by accident ;D
J: and i own a ramones tee shirt, though not by choice, nor is it mine :)
M: HA!!! that's WAYYYYY worse than all of my bad t-shirts put together, even with the dragonforce t-shirt taken into account ;P
J: i've never worn it tho :P
M: yeah, but it's still there, tainting the rest of your clothes with its awfulness ;)
