I found it insulting because you seem to think that there's some age limit to what music people can listen to, some of us will listen to whatever the hell we like and some of us get boring, that certainly isn't true for everyone. If you want to be wearing slippers and a cardigan and smoking a pipe by the time you're 40 thats your call, doesn't mean we're all like that, it might be "tough titties" but it doesn't stop me calling you out on it.
You also seem to have closed yourself off to an entire genre of music, not insulting but it does make you seem narrow-minded, when you clearly haven't listened to anywhere near enough of it, there are some "metal" bands that cover a huge range of emotion in their music, not just anger, this you would know if you bothered to listen to any of them.
If you don't like a genre of music just say so, stop pigeon-holing any band that comes under that label, it makes you look extremely narrow-minded.
I'll listen to anything I like, I couldn't give a crap what genre it is.
Trust me you don't want to be making yourself older than you actually are because one day you will be and then you'll be sorry you didn't make the most of it.
BTW its pretty pathetic making fun of someone because they're older than you... one day you'll be 37 and someone your age (25) may make fun of you too. It isn't very nice. I merely pointed out that I found it insulting that you seem to think that older people shouldn't listen to certain types of music. There was no need to be so nasty about it. 🙁

Let me say this.
Being new to the forums and all, nobody knows you, or your sense of humor. Starting a "My Picks" thread, being a literal nobody, with no credibility or sizeable reputation on this board, isn't the way to start your tenure here. As a sidenote, I'd suggest you avoid verbal fisticuffs with the forums moderator. Just some words of advice.
i have no intentions of getting into verbal fisticuffs with anyone and regardless of the fact that im new on the board and judging from some of the threads ive seen on the forum i already make a better contribution that many other people do and the length of time ive been here doesn't make my opinion any less valid than anyone elses...but thanks for the advice Cinemaddiction...the site does seem to have a better moderator team than many i have been on
back to darrenisgod
i wasn't trying to be nasty but i was trying to be blunt about my point...but as we both know, its all a matter of personal taste...and i dont like metal...yes there are older people that listen to metal...but i think we can both agree that you are in an extreme minority...although i am not saying that this diminishes your enjoyment of the music in any way
i'd like to point out seeing as you know very little about me (because i havent been here very long) that i am certainly not narrow minded when it comes to music...my cd collection stretches across almost all genres including metal,classical,techno,hip hop and country...i get more enjoyment out of some genre's than others but that will be the same for everyone...regardless of what their ego's will allow them to admit to their peers be it online or in real life
as for making the most of my life...trust me...i do...oh ho ho...YES...I DO
take it easy chief
👆
true...unintentional i must add in my defence...i didnt even know i was "debating" with a mod
i do hope the mods here have the courtesy to allow people to disagree with them without fear of banning them because it is this that makes for a healthy forum and good( if at sometimes lively) discussions
i will also state without wanting to be vindictive that it is me who has been on the recieving end of the remarks of "narrow minded" as well as "arrogant"
i felt these swipes were a bit unjustified but i do accept the point that people wont know if im being sarcastic or not due to my little time spent on the forum
anyway...i think its time to get back on topic
ive been listening to minuteman's "resigned to life" album a lot lately...ive had it for a while but didnt really get into it until recently...here is a review for those who are interested
