30 Hits From Hell

• Why do people get on MSN, then set their status to away and put something like "Out at the mall" or whatever? Just go offline, we don't care what you're doing.
• Whenever an ultra-conservative counters an argument on a message board, it's always with an entire essay's worth of text that was blatantly cut-and-pasted from some other source. We can tell you can't think for yourself, thanks. And all their arguments come back to "preserving our white, Christian heritage." Maybe your country is obsessive with traditions, but not mine.
• When some pseudo-science discovery is made, like "You need 200 orgasms a year to remain happy," it makes every newspaper. Yet when something serious comes up, like "There might be dioxide leaking into your neighbourhood," it never gets out because "they need to do more tests" and other stonewalling to save big business' ass.
• It shouldn't take a "punk renissance" for good music to be re-released. "12 Hits From Hell" by the Misfits should have been released years ago. I don't see why Caroline Records doesn't - they could make so much money off those little goth kids.
• In fact, there is no creativity in the music or movie industries. The movie industry is mindlessly remaking older movies, particularly classic horror flicks, while the music industry continues to crank out rip-off '60's/'70's garage bands, in hopes that the kids won't notice.
• I hate people who are only liberal if there is a following for it.
• Everytime you masturbate, one of your favourite bands "retools their sound" into something horrible.
• It's hard for me to sit through really long songs. I love Black Flag and Danzig, but I find myself fast-forwarding through the majority of their tracks to the good part. Don't drag your songs out to 6 minutes for no reason, for the world's sake.
• I don't get people who only listen to one type of music. If I only listened to ska or emo, I think I'd be going crazy.
• Speaking of emo, I don't like the majority of it. Not because it's cool to hate emo, but because I don't like slow songs with pretentious lyrics that all relate back to love. I mean, confusing lyrics can be great, but when they all mean roughly the same thing, it defeats the purpose.
• I'm mostly a geek myself, and so are most of my friends. While I haven't been the victim of bullying myself, I've seen quite a bit of it. Schools do next to nothing about it, taking the attitude that the victim should sort it out themselves and it's just a part of childhood. Why is it they do nothing about a problem serious enough to lead kids to killing not only themselves, but others, as we saw with the Columbine massacre, yet have enough time to pick out what clothing items are "gang-related" and obsessively monitor that?
• Please, people, your lame fad diets aren't helping you at all.
• There's nothing I hate more than "pretty boys" in rock music, i.e. Yellowcard. Looks don't matter to the quality of your music, but when you dress the exact same way a boy band does, it's fairly noticeable. Get the hell out of my genre.
• I hate guys who are supposedly good-looking to all girls. You know how all guys are supposed to like super-tanned skinny blondes with big boobs, short-shorts, and tank tops? All girls are supposed to like square-jawed guys with dark hair (don't forget the frosted blonde tips), six packs, tight jeans, and fake vintage t-shirts. I absolutely hate guys like that; they are the fake, plastic male equivalent of giggly vapid sluts.
• Lo-fi is god, but when it's so low-fi you can't hear the vocalist and the instruments are some horrible mesh, you are too fucking low-fi.
• I hate girls who claim to be bisexual just to get attention from guys, or even worse, to seem deep and marginalized.
• We're coming back to emo. How can every song be about heartbreak? I hope the emo kids realize it's probably fake. I mean, c'mon, how can eleven different girls hurt you so badly you remember enough to write a song?
• Remember when everyone was complaining about the Sex Pistols reunion being a blatant cash grab? Compare that with the Dead Kennedys and Misfits reunion. At least the Sex Pistols have all their important members. And don't tell me Sid Vicious was important, because let's face it, he's more useless than goths.
• I hate that industrial rock groove. Damn you Danzig.
• Don't you hate it when you're on Kazaa and you just can't find that one missing MP3 that you need to burn your CD? Then again, I don't even share my files! Ooh, the number one mortal sin! I'm so bad-ass.
• When a rich school expects you to do well on a math contest when you are blatantly horrible at math, go anyway and bring their average down. Suckers!
• Always underachieve on standardized testing to mess with your school's standing. Especially if they're always bragging about how great they are.
• My town is a hellhole. I know everyone says that about their town, but mine really is. We're jam-packed between an outdated nuclear power plant and a steel plant that's one of the worst polluters in North America. There's nothing to do here at all. It's all endless houses or ugly looking strip malls. Seriously kids, seriously.
• You aren't going to find your "true love" in high school. That person who just broke up with you wasn't it. And when you do find your true love, it's just a mixture of hormones that can't even be considered a true emotion, according to recent scientific study, but more of an obsessive compulsive disorder. Hey, don't shoot the messenger.
• I hate women's clothing. I wear all guys' clothes, because I have no desire to be slutty, and it's twice as comfortable. If it's baby-cut or tight fitting, I spit on it. Plus, guys' shorts are of an actual reasonable length. Yeah, I still wear shorts. I'm like an English schoolboy.
• Indeed, I have a Livejournal. I feel I'm doing my part to make that cesspool a better place. And when I say "cesspool," I mean it. Everyone there whines about how they're unpopular and their true love broke up with them. I coulda sworn I already ranted about this; I'm having deja vu. That's right, your favourite friend is going to take out the trash by adding some ranting excitement to that godforsaken place.
• I am a fan of Gamecube. Screw your crappy jockfest games; I'm all about quirkyness. Some people would say it's refreshing.
• I think if I was a guy, girls would be lecturing me about how I'm immature. Yet for some reason, they bite their tongue around me. I think they fear my glory.
• Most women always talk about how men suck, but I much prefer men to women. Women annoy me to death; they get away with so much. I relate far better to guys. I always feel sorry for guys stuck changing to impress their bitchy girlfriends. Thanks, bitches, for ruining another good, immature guy.
• File-sharing is my teacher, mother, and secret lover.
