The African Society Part II

BOOOOOO!

Someone quoted me?

Anyway, music-wise, I've been listening to these guys for a little while. I like their stuff, particularly this stuff:



They're one of the only few artists that could be considered part of the experimental genre of music known as Trip-Core. Simply put, it's a fusion of Trip-Hop, Hard-Rap and infrequently Hardcore toned down. It tends to have more of a grimier impact, is more darker, is quite dream/fantasy like, has slight dark ambient influences and isn't always politcally correct in it's message. All in all, it tends to be decent stuff, but there's just not enough of it out there. I could name other, specific artists, but when I hear it, I hear it.

Oh yeah, I agree. How is the revision going?

BOOOOOO!

Not too well. Finding it hard to actually concentrate but I will get on the grind later on during the month as I don't know what I'll do if I dont get AAA and miss my offer


Canibal Ox are hard. One of the few Underground Hip Hop acts that I actually like along with Madvillain, Blu, Fashawn and Pacific Division on account of the rest of them being pretentious and boring. Actually Canibal can be abit pretentious but its excusable when they make albums like The Cold Vein

OWHHHH!

Funkarifically groovadelic!

P.S. This artist is pretty damm good! The guy painting the artwork, not the singer, obviously -- heh heh.

Get on your grind to meet your offer. Is this for Nottingham?

What's up with all the red (neg rep) ES?

indeeed. I dont know how my mum is gonna cope without me. She keeps telling me that I should go with her and my dad to vote tommorrow instead of doing it myself when I get back to school

TSR Eccentrics Society.

Yep...

To clarify, it's due to all that rubbish that went on for the first five pages or so on that thread and because of the same guys trying to insult me and assert themselves somehow as superior by saying whatever it is they said (you'd have to look-- can't remember it but it was all nonsense).

Really, though, one of them asked for my age. At that point, I knew I was dealing with a few guys with chips on their shoulders. Terrible times...

I must admit, though, it was rather hilarious-- both during the slanging match and in retrospect. I did have a good ol' laugh, though, by the looks of it, they seemed to be getting geuinely miffed off as the whole debacle went on. They really seemed to think they were in high school and got it in their minds that I had set out to be "unique" or "random" or whatever-- no idea, really.

In a few words: they were being morons.

It didn't bother me, so don't worry. Reading through it gives me laughs because it essentially impromptu comedic genius. They probably didn't realise I'm a screwball humourist and experienced this stuff -- and still do every now and then -- time and time again. Good stuff...

What's up with all the red (neg rep) ES?

That's what I asked. Twice. With no reply.

I knew it was related to the Society but they were so mean to you ES. But, I know you just brush those haters off. Some people on here intentionally try to attack you which in some cases could count as cyberbullying. I've had some unpleasant encounters but luckily in 2 weeks time I can say, "Ciao" for my little summer vacay.

That's what I asked. Twice. With no reply.

Look at his response to me. ES and I are on good terms. See you Polar.

Bye, Alicia.

Quotes aren't working this morning...

Oh dear...

Night.

Ciao, grazie.

Nah, I was fine with it because I've gone through that stuff on the Internet before, we all have. The first time it happens, you're pretty much trollbait. The next time you learn a bit more, I suppose. And from then on, it's just about realising it's the Internet and there are jerks out there who take their behaviour and mannerism from real-life into the Internet and/or act like snooker cues just because they can, usually because there's no real-world reprecussions for doing so.

It was fun seeing them getting confused and all that over my responses. One of em' ran off sharpish early in and the others just started to wobble all over the place. It got to the point where they started throwing stereotypes and schoolyard insults here and there. Trivial, pointless and just plain silly, really.

And yeah, there are some people (probably about 15-20% of TSR when they become `aware` of my presence on here) who take it upon themselves to be extra mean or vindictive at me. Maybe it's a crusade of sorts for them or something? The Vindication of the Outlandish-- some kind of ego-boosting exercise, for sure.

Cyberbullying or not, they shouldn't do it in the first place. And since it is technically cyberbullying, they should get reported up for it-- whether that's me or not, we'll see.

Last but not least, I'm sorry to hear about your experiences of this. How was it for you? What did they say? Were you ok afterwards? I hope it didn't manage to get to you too much, it can nasty what some guys and girls can say.

Bye, Alicia.
