nothing real new to say, except that i agree that this
sounds like its coming from a 16 year old and is realy self
defeating. oh and if you want to become a writer, you need
to be prepared to face much harsher criticism than this
message board.

sorry if that was a little harsh, but really:

some people like to belong to stupid little groups and
subcultures, they like to have a certain image for
themselves.
some (a smaller number of) people dont

some people listen to whatever their 'group' listens to....
they listen to what they are marketed.
this includes teeny-boppers and nsync
and those "grunge" people and 'insane clown pose' or
whatever the fuck they like

other people like music because thye like it, and it doesn't
matter what genre its supposed to be in or who is supposed
to listen to it

i think u'll find that MOST people into shit like Autechre
and Squarepusher and into it because they like it and thats
that

becuase it certainly doesn't help u fit in to a crowd (ahem,
they aren't exactly popular)
and it doesn't helpe u craft some image (wtf would
Autechre's image be!?!? they dont really have one! i dont
konw what an autechre fan dresses like, or what the guys in
autechre even look like or dress like)

AAAAAND i think u'll also find that MOST people on here dont
only like this shit cus nobody else knows it. first of all,
its no fun liking music no one else does... and second of
all, almost everyone on here also likes some more popular
music too (it would be not to..... theres so much of it, ur
bound to find something u like!)

oh, and (ill just keep using Autechre and squarepusher as
examples here) dont help u fit in with the
rave/club/party/basically electronic dance music people, cus
its not that popular even among fans of electronic music!
i know lots of people who are into electronic music......
DJ's, people who go to raves and parties (i dont mean little
house parties, i mean parties like raves)
.....people who are really into the whole electronic music
scene, and who really know thier shit.... ..... SOME of
which SORT OF fit into ur "rudie" description.. (almost all
dont)

anyway, none of them have even heard of autechre, they dont
listen to squarepusher or aphex twin, and..... bla bla bla i
think u ge

[continued]

... bla bla bla i think u get the point

basically, all im saying is:
the artists we discuss on thie board AREN'T really the kind
of music that identifies w/ a particular group, thats all
i think ur little "group vs group" issue is just irrelevent
here.
maybe post it on an 'All Saints' forum and u'll get people
thinking, but not here

most of us are beyond that bs (i hope!)

reading this thread again today only amplify's my feelings
in wanting to beat sence into that somewhat empty box known
as your head.... just cause there are so many know it all
lossers who always come to tremendously idiotic conclusions
that degrade others with their simple minded comments and
thoughts.... its easy to judge someone.... for example i
could say that you are just a depressed little teeniebopper
who only wishes and dreams that he could be like the mall
rats who think their cool and walk around aimlessly within
large crouds to pretend like they have more frends (which is
proportional to popularity) than they realy have..... but
those mall rats could realy just be normal people trying to
buy things with their friends to numb the boardom of the
shoping mall....
oh well i was going to say more but why would i waste it on
you... i hope one day you say the wrong thing about someone
and they beat the shit out of you for it...

Fuck ''cliques'', fuck all those subcultures... I've been
such an individual my whole life. Total fucking loner,
nobody understands me or will accept me, and I refuse to
whore myself out and wear clothes just to fit in, hell, my
mom buys my frickin' clothes. I don't need to make a
''statement'' to anybody. I think I'm impossible to pigeon
hole, I don't look or act like a certain group, and my music
tastes are pretty eclectic... I just like what I like.

Of course, being MYSELF has not won me many friends, but if
someone's not going to accept me because I don't spike my
hair or something, stupid tool isn't worth it.

Not directed at anyone, just a rant. God knows, there's been
a LOT of them on this topic. ;-)
