Wait, no no no. ACROSS THE ROAD is what kills.

Oh man, Zyprexa. I think you're gonna have to marry me too. (Sorry Leech ;) )

I'm glad you made her feel like shit too though. Like you said, you don't just walk upto someone and say that. :evil:

I get a lot of hassle for how I look, (Unsurprisingly, to be honest. I'm not blaming anyone else here.) But I tend to find deathglares are my best friend. Even when people decide to try and tellme I look like shit or whatever, stone cold silence is a brilliant way to get someone to feel amazingly awkward. Or eyeing them up distastefully and laughing. That's pretty good too.

Damn - Bleeding from the eyes? Gotta make sure I keep some distance from those scenes now. Although, with my college, that's going to be one hell of a task.

Polygamy is sweet. Let's everyone on the message board all get a group marriage license and form a community. We'll call ourselves "Devins Gate".

Let's do some scene education:

Males: Enjoy women significantly smaller than themselves so they can boss them around, and a lot of times abuse them. In a fight, they will bite, pull hair, scratch, and sometimes threaten with a $15 (7P) knife. This is easily taken away from them. They do not know how to fight, EVER, despite claims of black belts in Tae Kwon Do (which a lot of times in America is generally useless anyways). Most of the fights they get into involve women who are unable to defend themselves, and other scene kids who are also unable to defend themselves. Love attention.

Females: Will sleep with anyone bigger than them. Literally. Love to think they're bisexual. Attempt to sound abstract (hard to do with a dick in your mouth), attempt to seem aloft from other girls, love shiny things (seriously), psychedelic BS (not joking), and cute, fuzzy things (Dear god...). Love attention.

Scene kids like:
Attention
More attention
MOAR ATTENTION
Pretending to have read books
Making claims
Irony
Wearing headbands
Pseudo-castratoism (that's where you start wearing tight pants pre-puberty and it has a noticeable effect on your voice)
Saying they listen to metal
Being straight-edge (which means no drugs/alcohol)
Cocaine
Improperly utilized odd time signatures
EVEN MOAR ATTENTION LULZ

Scene kids dislike:
Anyone who's actually read the books they say they've read
Anyone who can make a legitimate claim they want to make
Other scene kids
Being referred to as a scene kid
Anyone who gets more attention than them
Bros (the women will still sleep with them, though)
"The mainstream" (What?)
Zyprexa
4/4, 3/4, and 2/4
Mike Portnoy
Decent food
Reality

(Note: Zyprexa will be rotated out and put back into an infinite circulation, to be replaced by whoever next talks down about a scene kid. This happens on average about every 30 seconds)

One thing you forgot on your list there - They love Ketamin too! :P

Seriously though. Sometimes wearing bright clothing and my usual crazy hair, means apperently I am scene. This makes me want to explode. The minute I act like the people in those videos, is the day I've gone completely off the deepend and need to be put down for my own good.

What are you talking about? That's an anesthetic. Southern rappers use anesthetics (Mainly codeine), not scene kids.

It's because it draws attention to you. Remember, scene kids don't like people who get more attention than them. You get a lot of attention. They don't like scene kids. So to them you are scene because you draw attention and they don't like you.

Understand the logic? :P

Aaaah. I see the logic there. Well, I couldn't care less if I get more attention or not, I'm not looking for it anyway! In fact, its more like a character. I hide from people. :help:

But anyways - The scene kids where I live love Ketamin, Coke, and Alcohol mixed together. I really don't get it. Two negatives make a positive? :?

You might be scene since you hate being called scene. The only way to avoid this is to consider yourself scene. If anyone ever considers themselves scene in a non-ironic fashion, the universe will explode... but at least you won't be scene anymore.

Then they're not scene (Which I'm sure they will insist on... making them scene). Scene kids are straight-edge, while at the same time doing stimulants and hallucinogens. Unless they're doing it to be ironic, in which case they are highly scene, which means the universe just exploded.

Also two negatives make a 8/3 chorus, followed by a 5/3 breakdown (What?)

To be honest, a lot of those "Scene" bands who use "odd time signatures" typically stay 4/4 and dont even know it. They couldn't begin to actually count a 12/8 or a 17/16. Meshuggah is in 4/4 almost all the time after all!

I really, really do despise these "scenes" all over the place. They are sad, sorry means of getting attention.

I know real straight-edge people and they are not like these scene fucks. Some of them are really down to earth people who just dont like to drink/smoke/do drugs.

Thank you!

I was under the impression that usually Meshuggah's drums are just 4/4 with a polyrhythm (though you'd know better than me).

Thank you! It is a sorry means of getting attention. Most of the time these kids come from rich, opportune families.

And thank you!

Interesting fact: All frank Zappa and Mike Patton do/did are coffee, and in Zappa's case, cigarettes.

Well typically Meshuggah's drums are just 4/4. His cymbal hand usually holds a steady 4/4 8th or quarter note rhythm while his snare hand typically hits on the 1 or 3 of the bar. His feet on the other hand, follow what the guitars are playing. Which is still 4/4, but a very different rhythm than what his hands are playing. This gives the illusion of odd time signatures when it's really just odd groupings and accents. You'd have to really delve into Meshuggah's work to get a feel for what I'm saying.

Now a song like Organic Shadows has a section where it really is odd timed. It's around the first lead part, his cymbal hand plays some odd 32nd note rhythm that I highly doubt is in 4/4

I don't like to smoke or drink or do drugs either, it just seems to happen regardless. :(

Oh he won't mind at all, I can assure you. I'd be more worried on your side of the bridge. Poor Phase! :wink:

See, that annoys me even more. I don't begrudge anyone their dress code unless they insult mine; the way you look is actually cool (regardless of what you define as cool!). You put thought into it and it ends up being notably artistic. I can understand people in pubs who have dolled themselves up for hours sneering at somebody who's wearing a hoodie, jeans and runners but in your case it's more than likely jealousy that they won't have the innovation or intelligence to make themselves look as remarkable as you do.

It's funny how people choose to express their 'individuality' by adopting a pre-determined set of looks, and values; as well as adopting that insecure, shitty personality. :?

I would hope that I'm not the only one thinking that these girls make themselves look really appealing to pedos...

I mean, I know that rape etc. is never the victim's fault... and all that, but -pre-pubescent/teenage girls taking photos of themselves, wearing next to nothing AND posting them on the world wide web is just a horrible idea. There are sick people watching that stuff - and they don't ever seem to think about it, it's like they're oblivious...

ugh.. enough scene kid bizness, what an unfortunate trend :roll:

Oh yeah ^^ lots of people couldn't count their way out of a box, that's BS.

And since when did nerdy ass time signatures become fashionable?! :shock:

Actually, this may cause some kind of explosion. Don't let this happen.
