I used to be well into metal... now all I like is Nightwish and a bit of Disturbed I tend to skip everything else if it comes up on shuffle in iTunes.

Indie... basically... alt as well.

Noooo! When did you go over to the dark side?
You can't headbang to Indie!

I used to be a "Sweatie" at school but then I lost interest because I tried to be "normal" so I got into indie music and then when I went to uni I discovered some new bands and I'm like totally different now from three years ago.

Second year of college... especially at uni as well...If you aint a rah here... you listen to Indie music.

Listened to Gwar - *******ing an animal yesterday... took me back a few years... hilarious stuff.

What's a rah? I can't stand indie, never have and probably never will. You know you wanna come back to metal, no one can ever truly leave it alone
Why did you stop with the metal anyway?

A rah is one of those posh snobby, 'daddy paid for me through uni' kind of people that wear ugg boots, tracky bottoms, uni hoodies, backcomb their hair to make it look scruffy and eat sushi regularly...
As I got more into metal... I listened to more and more bands... and it dawned on me that most of it is just screaming and shouting... no lyrics and mostly samey samey kind of stuff. I'm a big fan of lyrics so I wanna hear them.

...and a sweatie I believe is a mosher... a smellie... someone who goes around in baggy jeans with chains on and a black nirvana hoodie....

My musical life isnt very eventful it went something like this:

pop-rock, alt-rock, 'mosher', death metal, hardcore -----> all kinds of extreme stuff.

Somewhere along the line though i did go off track to post-rock, ambient, experimental indie and freak-folk.

Haha yeah, everyone starts off on stuff like Blink 182 and the Offspring. And from there, for me anyway, it was nu metal, alt-rock, metalcore + death metal + hardcore.

Oh, so you get the choice of being a stuck up rich kid or an indie kid? Wow, tough life dude...
Yeah, I know what you mean about lyrics man, they're one of the most important parts of a song to me. And I can really connect with the lyrics from metal songs. If you wanna hear them just listen to a lot of metal and you can soon make them out or else read the lyric sheet. It's true that metal was getting a bit stagnant for a while but there are some amazing bands out there that are pushing the boundaries. Indie sounds pretty samey to me tbh.

Lol what a great stereotype!
