This journal entry is "fluff" journal entry to keep you occupied untill the next one with metal news ect. I'm not sure who made these "anti core" t-shirts (pic above), but I agree whole heartedly. Emo needs to die a horrid death as well. All of us extreme metal heads hate those genres, the American market is over saturated with that crap.Yes, us metal heads complain about that crappy music and culture, middle class kids that pretend to be homeless (crusties) and emo kids that are "sad" (take your meds) there fore complain about their middle class lives (or these people just don't have a life). We also complain about emo kids that wear glasses (and womens jeans) that don't really need to. If you're reading this journal and like emo, hardcore and metal core, then you're reading the WRONG journal.
Hence this controversy when MACHINEHEAD won the KERRANG awards over some trendy emo (here today, gone later on today, crap emo) bands. The ultimate whining from emo fans can start with looking in the mirror at their own self destructive behavior.

"Everytime an emo kid cries, a VIKING comes from the heavens and dismembers him"-anti emo joke on the net..
Buy a t-shirt, as mainstream, mall core culture self destructs.
US. grind band CATTLE DECAPITATION have t-shirts for sale "Gore not Core".
World famous death metal artist TONY KOEHL (he has done CD covers for many great death metal bands) has some new t-shirts "Keepin' it Brutal".
So here's to the death of core (hardcore, metal core), emo music and culture.
BTW, this years OZZFEST was free for fans as the bands played for free as well. FROM LORDI (Gwar like band from Finland): "We are not getting paid," Mr. Lordi said. "But there's no income. How can you pay the bands if there aren't any ticket sales? It's pretty simple. This is really a promotion for us.
UPDATE: 8/27/07:Imagine the ground score from the kids that "picked up change" at OZZFEST in NJ this month, not much according to the news media. This month in August, police arrested OZZFEST concertgoers in New Jersey for throwing spinkicks and windmills in the pit. If these kids would give each other some space in the pit, there would not be a problem. I'm not sure if these arrests were due to the cops OR the fans ignorance of mosh pit culture, or the old push pit vs. karate pit issue. Two people died of drug and alcohol overdoses at the NJ stop of OZZFEST.Also,on the WARPED TOUR, (punk rock/hardcore festival) a small riot in Washington broke out as festival goers took issue to concert conditions as porto pottys were set a blaze. In the ensuing melee, many concert goers were arrested. I guess middle class hardcore kids couldn't take the smell of their own SHIT. BTW, the lineup for the WARPED TOUR looks awful, and perhaps people took issue from what is NOT COMICAL.

FROM THE COALITION AGAINST HARDCORE DANCING:
Ninja "Hardcore" Dancing
The Moves
Okay, here are a breakdown of the more underground dances. You can practice them at home in your room, show your sister, or show your mother what a smart individual you have become. Make sure you have a lot of clearence, you dont want to kick your little brother in the head. How would you explain that to your parents? "Mom i gave little Billy a spin-kick to the teeth!" Here it goes:
Punching Air
So next time you're at a show and the best breakdown ever is coming up, make sure to show the band how much it means to you by punching the fuck out of the air. FUCK THAT AIR UP. People may ask you "What did the air do to you?", you just smile and continue beating the fuck out of the air. You're not stupid, you just hate air.
The Spin Kick
Alright, the band played their two first songs and they are taking a break. Now its your chance...walk right up to the pit (dont run because that would be gay) and throw a round house kick. Just kick that air. Make sure no one is in the way, because you dont to 'hurt' anyone.
Throwing Down Beatings For Fun
Are you one of those typical fat slobs that hit these hardcore shows because you're friends with someone that is good pals with the uncle of the bass player for terror? "HEY I KNOW THAT GUY!"...you know shit. "I'm going to hurt as many kids as I can in the pit!" You're a big man. Im scared. Shit Dick.
The Lion March
Before you start kicking the imperceptible ninja's asses, you need to pace around like you need to deplete your lizard. What you need to accomplish this move is 10 glasses of water and a 'The Bled' CD. Knock back that water as fast as you can. Once you are done, wait until you have to piss. When it starts to sting, start pacing around. Do this until you’re about to soil yourself. Once you start to piss, start throwing your arms around like a dipfuck. Do this for the whole CD. By the time the CD is done, the 'accident' you had earlier should be dried up. You can go see From Autumn to Ashes tonight without having to change pants!! But make sure to repeat the process.
Iron Fists
Holy shit, this guy looks like he could really fuck me up. Look at the power! FUCK! I would never want to get hit by one of those. Anyways, this assclown put the 'X's on his hands because he is 'straight edge'...Because thats what hardcore kids do these days. "I'm 100% straight edge VEGAN". GOOD FOR YOU, I DONT GIVE A FLYING FUCK. It's bad enough you're telling me, now you have to go and write all over yourself
The Two Step
This one is a classic. "Listen to the new Norma Jean album, its PURE two stepping!" What the fuck does this mean? How does this explain what the music sounds like? Next time im at the record store and some idiot tries to use one of these terms to describe a band's sound, I will beat the living shit out of em.
Slob Core
Are you sick of the same old exercises? Tired of spending all your cash on useless weight loss supplements? Well, I have a solution for you! If you weigh over 400lbs and are interested in weight loss, look no further. What you need is an Atreyu ticket and lots of floor space. Oh, don’t wear a gray shirt. You don’t want to look like a slob.
Picking up Pennies
Broke? Why get a real job? Its time to bend down and pick up all those imaginary pennies off the floor. Once you have collected an appropriate amount, you can go home and show mommy and daddy what a good boy you have been. “Mom, Dad, come quick. I’m a fucking idiot!”
The Karate Chop
"Mom, mom, I want to learn karate!" Why? So you can go to the next As I Lay Dying show and chop air? How about if I give you a fucking karate chop to the balls? This kid looks like the typical 'scenester' you would find at these shows dancing like a fool. I dont get it...In my day the SCENE was your local scene. LOCAL BANDS. now the SCENE is fucking hardcore? How does that work? Its like INDIE bands not being INDIE by winning 2 grammys?
Impressing The Girls
"Hey, want to go on a date?"...This guy is showing off his moves to the best looking girl at these cock infested shows. Just look at his face! He is getting laid tonight forsure. Pinky out! Charming.
The Wind Mill
Is your air conditioner busted? If so, what you need is an Underoath CD. Put on this CD and start throwing your arms around like a fucking idiot. Do this until your space is nice and chilly. It might take a while, so make sure you set the CD on repeat. But pace yourself, you don’t want all the blood in your body to dash all the way down to your fists of fury.
Thanks-Stay Metal, Stay Brutal-\m/
