I think you're correct there Brunon, imo.
I think Periphery are an amazing group of musicians, Misha writes wonderful melodies over some astonishing riffs, and the drummer Matt is sooo good.
You know what it is for me? I don't like it when people give themselves their own nicknames, I have no problems with it other than grade school stuff where someone is decides that everyone now should call him 'Cobra' or whatever... I'm ok with it if it's given to you by someone else (Beav) or whatever and it sticks, but I just keep meeting people who are like 'call me king of the wind', or 'my real name is Harold, but just call me 'Decepticon' ...' you know what I mean? Again, I'm cool with nicknames if everyone decides for you, but I've always been bugged by self imposed nicknames.
Again, this is an ABSOLUTELY personal thing that has no basis in the djent scene, again... Animals As Leaders, Periphery, Chimp Spanner, Tesseract... AMAZING BANDS And they all deserve respect and success for doing something great.
... it's just embarrassing to be forced to call someone a name they've given themselves. I don't know where that came from for me... some new kid at school ' Hi, call me emperor palpatine' ..or something... then it was always weird to say 'ummm, excuse me emperor palpatine, but could I borrow your blue pencil crayon?'
I just worked with people that had self imposed nicknames this year, and when I asked their real name they got totally bugged out, so I had to grit my teeth and call them by a dumb name they gave themselves and it just makes the interactions uncomfortable.
So...yeah. I've got issues.
I apologize if it seemed like a slight against the actual scene or bands, I love what they are doing.
