Person: "What sort of music do you like?"

Me: " Oh you know Metallica, Trivium, Offspring..."

Person: rudely interrupting "Oh so you like all that screaming heavy metal crap" person turns up nose and sneers at me.


Okay i don't know about anyone else but i grow tired of people making false assumptions of me when i say i like metal and heavy metal. They immediately think of screaming, shouting, hissing men into their microphones for me this is not the case and i always have to promptly invisage in their stupid little naive heads that that is not the case with all heavy metal bands that bands in particular like Offspring, Metallica and even bands like Tool and Trivium aren't all about the screaming and shouting and you can actually hear the lyrics understand the words and even understand the meanings and stories behind the words.
It really peeves me especially when my mother in law and/or my wife tell their friends and cohort that i like metal and say it in a disdaining way that demotes not only my beliefes but the bands i listen to as well especially after i tire of telling them and demonstrating that this is not the case of all the metal bands i listen to yet they continue to do so.

And in any case i find bands such as Slipknot etc that do doe this revolting my ear folicles to the state at which it affects my inner ear that begins to dismember itself. I listen to heavy metal for the intense percussion and the deep and low bass and melody of the music itself.

So i thought i would just put this awarness out there, goodnight.
