No, these people are awesome, and serve a very important purpose. It's really fucking annoying when a load of people come in and hijack your preferred genre with commercial shit, that bears no real relation musically with the genre it claims to be. Especially since this marginalises the music that was originally in that genre, so that it hardly gets any airplay any more.
Also, a less important side-effect, is that it gets embarrasing to say that you like said genre, because then people automatically assume that you like "Cutty McCutterson and the Cutters", and their latest album "I cut myself for attention because I am an angry 16 year old in the body of a 28 year old, and everyone in my band wears stupid fucking masks to make teens think we're frEaKy. Also, the font my band name is written in, probaby has a backward letter or looks like it was scrawled on the jotter of an angry teenager. Not to mention the fact that everytime I get interviewed, I go on about how my music is like if you bottled up the head of a dead dog, and then shit in the bottle, and then after 100 days the bottle exploded from all the rancid gasses inside it, because that's how extreme I am"
It's the kind of stuff that comes out of the hardcore scene that pisses me off. Straight edge vegan morals ethics diy, also you must have the same political views as me or you are not a true fan of hardcore ok.
Don't get me wrong, I don't have a problem with everyone who is straight edge, or vegan, or holds certain political views,it's just some people take these things to annoying extremes. I get great pleasure from browsing myspace on occasion so I can laugh at these people. The best ones are the ones that have something like this on:
DO NOT MESSAGE ME IF YOU ARE GOING TO MOAN AT ME BECAUSE I AM STRAIGHT EDGE AND VEGAN OK IT IS MY CHOICE THAT IS WHY I FEEL THE NEED TO PUT IT ON MY MYSPACE IN BIG RED TEXT AND IT IS NOT FOR ATTENTION
ALSO DON'T TAKE DRUGS IN FRONT OF ME BECAUSE I AM VERY IMPORTANT DID I MENTION THAT I AM STRAIGHT EDGE
