Indie music as a whole. For the most part it's all based on style, elitism and rehashed sounds. It's really just a badge for those with insecurity issues who need to show the world they are different even though they all listen to the same music and wear the same hipster clothes. I should know-I was one of these people for a decent part of my youth and I cringe looking back. The only modern music I listen to these days is proper hip-hop and if I'm constantly discovering older music and indeed classical music then I couldn't give a toss. Sure, there is obviously a small amount of decent indie music that is passing over my head now but I can live with this if it means I don't have to have my senses raped by the nonsense that comes with it.

I still get to hear a lot of modern indie music and I don't like any of it. I've grown out of it. I don't hear anything original anymore. It's pretty funny when you hear people chatting about the "intelligent" or "poetic" lyrics of some idiot pretty boy style icon from a band. Put these lyrics up against some of the great poets of old and proceed to have a great laugh.

Even my boards username comes from a band I don't really give a shyte about anymore. it's like a tattoo I'll be stuck with until I'm perma-banned for going on a rant...like this one!

Modern life is rubbish.

The only thing more retarded than metal as a genre are the people who listen to it.
I'm taking about the 'proper' metallers, the one's who rust in the rain!!

So what bands/music do you give a **** about?

Advice: if you don't play an instrument, learn. It will reinvigorate your love of music.

Do you want me to list out all the artists I listen to? Big LOL. See this is exactly the immature elitism I'm talking about.

That's just my personal opinion. Each to their own.

Nope, because they're an empire and their foreign policy is having a terrible effect on world stability.

Inside their borders they can do what the fu*k they like for all I care.

Somebody prob said it already but Joe Bloggs jeans or xworx or Naff or that whole thing. I have to say though, the pair of two tone jeans I had, blue denim when seen from the front, black from the back (no jokes please), were and are still the coolest things ever. Wish I still had them, may need some slight tailoring though. I remember wearing those, ditch drinking at the back of Dunnes Stores during the fleadh ceol, all at the age of 14. Ahh, life was looking good, the fun, the opportunities! What a winner!:p

So you want the mad mullahs to have free rein to do what they like?

Like it or not horse, the US is the world's policeman.

If you want anarchy to exist and order to vanish , well fair enough.

You probably have nothing to lose, unlike most folk who desire a free and fair society.

The fcukers in the squats have nothing to lose pal.;)

At least we'd have some discipline under the mullahs.

I used to like him in Back to the Future. I think he's retarded now.

Christopher Reeve was another, but he died.
