Why does it hurt your feelings when people don't like a band you do?

maggot 04-24-2007 12:40 PM

Because she's pathetic.

It's not in our minds.

Was that a fairly recent interview? Because the only one that comes to mind is from 1996.

Like I noted, I don't give much of a damn about them selling out. I like their music and respect the band. It's just a case of hard work paying off... in my eyes anyway.

Yeah, they were on SNL. They performed on MTV a good number of times. Go ahead and say it all you want.

At least they haven't started to sell their shirts at Target... yet.

It was somthing called sarcasm

maggot 04-24-2007 04:32 PM

Someone's defensive.
It really just makes you more pathetic.




Anyways, it was a fairly recent interview, but I can't remember where it's from.

xbloodyxsnowx 04-24-2007 05:40 PM

Why am i so pathetic ,you don't even know me so who are you to go saying i am pathetic? If it helps i will stop talking about AFI.

xbloodyxsnowx 04-24-2007 05:45 PM

And if AFI did say they sold out i am disguisted with them but still love their music.

maggot 04-24-2007 05:46 PM

You're so pathetic because you're defending an attack based on opinion.
You can't beat an opinion. There is no fact.


And the AFI fanthingdom is a tad annoying, please do stop.

xbloodyxsnowx 04-24-2007 06:04 PM

Come again on the fanthingdom and i am sorry for attacking your opinion i did not see it that way...that is kinda pathetic...
BTW would you mind if i asked how old you are?

maggot 04-24-2007 06:05 PM

I'm an angry teenager.

xbloodyxsnowx 04-24-2007 06:06 PM

I'm sorry..... so you hate me?

xbloodyxsnowx 04-24-2007 06:07 PM

Why are you so angry if you don't mind me asking.

Underwater Ophelia 04-24-2007 07:13 PM

Because you're making yourself seem spineless and stupid.

maggot 04-24-2007 07:44 PM

My age has nothing to do with hating you. I mildly dislike you, though, as you're spineless and stupid, as UO said.

xbloodyxsnowx 04-25-2007 07:13 AM

Right, well why don't you go kill yourself and i'll watch

xbloodyxsnowx 04-25-2007 08:11 AM

That was immature and childish of me to say that. I am not spineless I just try to be nice. So if defending myself, and being nice makes me spineless, then who cares.

I'm so sick of people whinging about their popularity and move into the mainstream. If you don't like their new sound just say it: you don't like their new sound, because there should be no more to it than that. People so often forget the entire purpose of music - it's entertainment, not politics. Save your knicker-knotting for more important matters.

(And there are far too many threads like this.)

Well said. I'm right with you Cicero. I love AFI, too....However, I believe that the late 90s-AFI were much better than Decemberunderground.

Kitten of the Catacomb 05-02-2007 01:36 PM

Regarding the argument, I think it's in everyone's best interest to shut up about it. Opinion is opinion. Just accept it, and move on.

Everything before Decemberunderground was better than Decemberunderground. Late 90's - early 2000's was my favourite era. From Shut Your Mouth and Open Your Eyes to the Art of Drowning. Black Sails is my favourite album though.

Heatherzilla 05-04-2007 04:37 AM

I <3 AFI. Although I also manage to like Fall Out Boy so you might not want to trust my taste in music.

raineofblood 05-04-2007 04:37 PM

what happened with AFI happens with most good bands once they get popular. *tsk.*

Do you honestly think that anybody on an internet forum where they discuss goth culture and subcultures therein really care enough to hate you?

At the most they'll find you irritating, so why be a drama queen about it?

Anyway; to avoid this being spam, I hate AFI.

I hate their music, I hate their blatant commercialism, I hate that AFI and Slipknot fans walk around in eyeliner with dog chokers around their necks calling themselves "goffick" and being ultra defensive when someone questions it.

I particularly hate that they are called Goth Rock, and sometimes even Metal. Is it any wonder that music genres get stereotyped when such crap is piled into that genre, when it doesn't even belong to it?

And by the way, Despair Faction? Why don't they just call themselves Heaven For Razorblades To Your Wrists and be done with it?

Kerrang is one of the worst culprits for labelling AFI as goth punk or goth rock. I love AFI to death but anyone with half an ear and less of an eye can tell that they are not even remotely gothic. You would think that, as a music ( ha! ) orientated magazine they would at least be able to get the genre right.

Mine are Black sails and Sing the sorrow :)

If I'm not mistaken it is merely a play on words of the song title "Despair factor". No need to get so worked up ..It isn't like anyone is asking you to join it or anything.
