He listens to really embarrassingly bad indie music almost exclusively and thinks Tool is the greatest thing to ever feature a distorted guitar in the history of mankind. I am sure no one is surprised by this.


He said "it's slow tempo stuff, right?"

I queued up some Nasum and he goes "I don't like the vocals. They sound like Limb Bizkit."


Anyone have any similar smh tales of a coworker/friend of a friend aside from the everyone's-heard-it-once "I heard you're in a metal band. Is it like Metallica?"

I was informed that the 'new hire' was coming with me to be trained as a courier.
She was no older than 24. Everything new to her was met with wonderment that edged toward naivety.
So I asked her about music, hour long car rides tend to force the topic.
'I, um. I listen to the radio.'
So we listened to Ampere (twice), Daughters, HUSH, and Dark Night Of The Soul.
'So. Like, I mean, you're, like, a hipster, right?'
'Sure. Get the fuck out of this car.'

And yesterday I asked a guy at work about grindcore and he was so rude! The band he played had to be bullshit; sounded like when I put my Limb Bizkit 180gram Vinyl Repress of 3 Dolla Billz Y'all on 78 speed. I had to calm down with the usual methods: Avocado Toast and selfies. hashtagyourhipstercoworker. hashtagmakerttpgreatagainagain.

I walked into my worked last week and a guy asked me If like to slam...I was confused thinking I was about to get my dick wet in his asshole and vice versa but apparently he saw a video of Onyx's hit song slam.

By the way..

lol

people that exclusively worship tool are in a category by themselves. it is astonishing that anyone who is not 14 years old and 1997 is the current year still finds them interesting.

taht said, can't explain metal to normies. they just don't get it. "so uhh its like slipknot right man"

Tool makes me sad. Maynard is so interesting in interviews and then makes the most boring music.
