...i know you hate it when people post as anonymous...
but seriously darren get a grip...dont be such a f'n hater..you must not have anything else to do with your life... it was inevitable..this shit was always going to happen, the problem is not the little kids with the sideways trucker hats! they're enjoying themselves listening to music they like... get over it dude the problem lies with people who say they are punk and think that no one can touch them and they're so cool cause they were punk for 10 years not 3. its f'ked up....why dont you just enjoy your life and not worry about your image, are you going to spend your whole life being angry that punk got popular...what a big fat waste of time

[darreneatworld]

no, that's not what i said at all. i don't run around thinking i'm punk...like i said, i don't call myself punk anymore.

and i'm not worried about my image, because i don't really have one.

and i'm not angry about punk becoming popular, because it's not actually punk that got popular, it's a horrible deformed incestuous third-cousin of punk that got popular yet still gets called 'punk'. if punk got popular on its own merits, then there would be no problem with that.

interestingly enough, i don't have much else to do with my life right now. i'm on holidays. if you know i don't like anonymous comments, why don't you say who you are?

wow. you listen to music because other people don't like it? and then you bag 17 year old 'kids' (you haven't been 18 that long yourself, remember?) for doing what they think is the same thing? darren, the problem doesn't lie with people listening to music that is popular when they think they're being 'underground'. the problem is with fucking ANYONE listening to a style of music because they think other people don't like it. jesus christ, are you that pathetic? i had no idea it was that bad. anybody thinking that the 'point' (music has to have a 'point'?) of indie (or any kind of music) is to be some kind of 'outsider' is a fucking joke. don't care about your 'image'? then why conform to the goo/switch bullshit image of the people you supposedly hate? stretchers in your ears, black clothes, how are you any different from the people you are criticising at all? the simple existance of a sideways trucker hat allows you to criticise someone else's music choice

[darreneatworld]

fine, you can have your opinions, but why do you keep bothering to post them all over my journal, if it angers you so much? i don't do it to you, nor do i write anything deliberately to spite you.

[darreneatworld]

i really, really don't want a fight about this, either. the only reason i delete any comments is to stop fights. so i dunno, just agree to disagree and continue thinking i'm a poseur, i don't care, i just don't want to fight about it.

[themorninghate]

oh yeah, i forgot about this. what i was meant to say was that... this is why being an elitist is good.

p.s. you are all gay poseurs cos im better.

yep.
