Says "The pink criminal Online"
Way to display decent credibility, at least I know I am posting with a child now.
"Pink Criminal" is a nickname picked up from a Swiss exchange student i went to school with, "Pink" being because of my general lack of pigment, hence my skin being rather pink instead of tan and "criminal" because Australia was founded as a prison colony. Put them together and you get "Pink Criminal." Nice, you dont have anything to use as a rebuttal from what i've said so you go through my profile to find something to use. Grasping at straws.

I'd say it's a grammatical mistake more than a spelling mistake. And i'm not changing it because i'm trying to be cool and rebellious, i'm not changing it because it seems that people seem more worried about a small grammatical error in my sig over what we're talking about in the threads.
I'm not. I pointed it out because it's an irritating grammatical/spelling mistake that someone of your age shouldn't be getting wrong, then I moved on. You are the one who chose to focus on FeceMan.
I choose to read your posts, sure, but the least you could do is be respectful enough to learn the apostrophe rule for the word "You're".
-AC
And i do, i use it when i post. The "If you dont like Frenzal Rhomb, your a whore" thing has been there since i joined and its never been something i've seen a great need to change/correct.
I've never been great with grammar, its no secret. But I'm not going to be pushed into changing something so irrelevant because a couple people cant get over something I put in a my sig when i was 16 that has a mistake in it.

I didn't even notice your sig, funnily enough.
It was, infact, your posts.
-AC
The sad thing is, you aren't changing it because you see it as bowing to peer pressure, despite being factually wrong.
Either way, you do it in your posts, and that's why I pointed it out. You should honestly know better if you're (see, you-are) going to post to others.
Infact, getting back to my original point about your original views of the thread subject; You're ignorant. This only proves it.
-AC
The "peer presure" thing is another case of you missing the humor.
Theres a difference between ignorance and having a contradicting opinion to your own. Sure i dont agree with you. I do understand with what you've said about the emo stereotype, i agree with some of it. But i am entitled to have an opinion without being told that i'm stupid or ignorant.
And i've pointed out that i do know the difference between "your" and "you are," now your being condecending and frankly, childish about it.

Everyone knows what the emo image is, so I wont go in to that.I think it's ridiculous. Having teenage depression does not make you emo. I know people that wear tight, black pants, are suicidal and cut themselves and HATE emo music. They love bands like Black Sabbath, Metallica, Led Zepplin, Red Hot Chilli Peppers, etc. That does not make them emo.
It's stupid. I have yet to meet someone that is actually emo.
One of my friends got a new hair cut, he died it dark brown and got it parted with an angled fringe. One of our friends teased him for being emo. Having a hair style does not make him emo.
YOUR ARE ONLY EMO IF YOU LISTEN TO EMO MUSIC!!!!
To me, emo is not a look, it's a music GENRE.
This whole "Emo people are whiney teenagers that listen to Simple Plan, wear black clothes, eye liner, ***** about how bad their lives are while cutting themselves" is such a ridiculous image.
I'm so tired of hearing about it.Not once have I ever come across a so called 'emo' teenager.
I have a lot of friends that are like this...I'm teased and called the Queen of Emo's but I'm a 21 y/o woman who is vampiric, I hate all those 'emo bands' and I just get called that because Im a councellor and want to help them outta this phase.
I agree that it's cruel to distance yourselves and make fun of these kids, they're crying out for help and no ones helping them!

Sure it was. You don't know what paraphrasing is and I'm somehow the one missing things.

No, you're entitled to an opinion. It stops there.
If you act in a way that is stupid, that is ignorant, I'll tell you so. That's what you're doing.

As we see, your not having ANY trouble telling what i mean. Its not detracting from what i'm saying, its not making my point any less valid and its not making the post unreadable, yet you keep coming back to it. Why bother correcting it a donzen times when its not changing the point of what i'm saying? Because your petty and it makes you feel big? I dunno, f*cked if i can figure that one out.
The fact i think paraphrasing is a load of horseshit is brought up (and i'm told what i know) for no apparent reason. Not only are you missing things, your being petty.
And once again, i dont agree with you and get told that i'm being stupid. Atleast your consistant.
Originally posted by Alpha CentauriSo what? The vast majority have had a shared opinion for 30 years, big deal. It's an opinion nonetheless, it's not a fact. I'll take John Lydon, Ian Mackaye and Joe Strummer's opinions over the "vast majority", thanks.
It's a fashion associated with punk, and calling it punk is as stupid as calling someone a "metal" or a "pop", or even a "rock".
You wouldn't do it, because it's simply retarded. For metal, people use the term "metalhead". As in, someone associated with metal music, they don't call the clothing "metal".
Majority opinion never concerns me because:
A) It's still an opinion.
and B) Never usually a very good one.
So you can sit there saying "The fashion is called punk!", and I'll say "It's not.". You can't prove me wrong, but the evidence is clear that it was simply a fashion associated with punk.

thats all great, only i never implied fact. i wish i had made that more clear before you wasted all that time typing. what you or i call punk has little conscequence on what punk has been turned into for the mainstream.
i see what you're trying to get at, but 'metal' is the most overused word. for instance, i scratch my head when i hear people say that led zepplin is the 'original' metal band. horseshit. and you're a bit too young to remember all the glamrock hairband shit that was almost universally passed off as metal while what i considered true metal was overlooked and seemingly nonexistant to the mainstream.
its all opinion, but history is written by the majority...and im sorry to say, but punk will most likely be remembered as stretch jeans, studded leather jacket, mega-spiked hair, and all that crap. dont argue with me about it, im just the messenger and equally disgusted

It's not a matter of me knowing what you mean, you now know how to spell it. Is adding an apostrophe and an extra letter really so hard? I am making the effort to read your post, the least you could do is be literate.
I'm not missing anything, Tabby. You're (there we go) the one who chose to dodge things in favour of defending your (see?) grammatical flaws. So it becomes clear to me that you either don't want to be on topic or you're generally too ignorant.
I'm not calling you stupid because you disagree, I called you stupid because when you look at the evidence, it's clear that you're wrong. If it's not clear that you're wrong, then you're being ignorant.

Agreed entirely, but that doesn't mean we have to accept it.
Especially being a long-term music fan yourself, I'd assume you know better than to just agree with what majority says, and I believe you do. I'm not saying that I'm trying to change what the mainstream thinks, they can and will think what they want, but that doesn't mean they're right.

I knew the age thing would somehow come up.
Why does my age mean I have the inability to know about it? I wasn't there, so? I wasn't there for The Beatles either, or Zeppelin. Doesn't mean I haven't got knowledge about them or the era they were dominent in. If anything, not being there makes an opinion more objective. You'll hardly find a fan of The Beatles who was swept up in the hype of being there that will say "They're overrated.".
I spend most of my time researching these things and I know very well what I'm talking about, when things happened and how. I'm not saying I was at the front row watching Led Zep at MSG, I'm saying I know enough to talk about it.
I know that for most of that era Bon Jovi, Poison and Motley Crue were being passed off as metal, while Anthrax and others were overlooked. I'm not an idiot. That's why Geffen were so reluctant about signing Guns 'N' Roses, because "hair metal" was "in". It annoys me too when people act like Coldplay are some thinking-man's rock band, purely because they know no better, but I'm a firm believer in the whole idea of if you're being spoonfed meals, don't complain that the food is bad.

Well, yes. I'm not debating what it will unfortunately be remembered as, I'm aware of that.
I'm aware people will call punk a fashion before they call it what it's meant to be called, a music genre. I'm aware "emo" will be remembered as floppy fringes, tight striped shirts and cutting rather than Ian Mackaye's bands and those great bands that came with them. I'm not debating that this is how things WILL play out, I'm just saying the following:
A) That's not how it actually is, if you bother to look it up.
and B) Something being labelled "emo" or "punk" doesn't make it so, and I know you agree. It's not evolution just because some numbskull decides to call it that.
So yes, I've never debated that history will show these things inaccurately due to the vast majority viewing them incorrectly, they will. I'm just saying they shouldn't, and that instead of accepting emo as a "fashion" and a depressed condition (which is stupid anyway), at least do a little research.

*You're. I.e: You are. It takes seconds to type.
I agree with him, for the most part. We're both equally disgusted, he's just more accepting of the fact that history will portray that which is true in a false light, so it would seem.
You're wrong, and I've proven you wrong. You're also vastly ignorant and you're being very stupid. I won't afford you any respect if you're going to ignore the evidence supplied to you.

wow, you are in rare form....ok fine. only i said "remember", and did not say "you're too young to know this", of which such a reply would most likely be warranted.
i dont REMEMBER led zepplin because i was to young when they were still together. however i am KNOWLEDGABLE of them.
seriously, chill out. theres a difference between knowing history and watching it unfold. where you see it now as a "matter of fact" thing, i scratched my head for almost a decade at how an entire genre was quickly brushed away and disacknowledged by the mainstream, and even demonised by the government and media....and not "demonise" in a "ROCK ON" awesome kind of way either.
