What makes you think that is even remotely cool? That is awful. It's like taking your own life without actually dying

A frightening large portion of kids where I live apparently dig this. I live in the provinces, though. I doubt this is a hit in more urban areas, and if it is, I have lost all faith in humanity.

Chances are it's huge in the city.

At my school there are frequent fights between "lightside" and "darkside" gangs who fight because they listen to different types of trance.

Let me emphasize: They fight because they listen to different types of trance.

I just wanted to say that.

Oh for the love of god Armageddon should have come yesterday....

Haven't you heard? Since like two minutes ago, sitting is now teh lamest thing! The thing that's cool in the streets is standing on your hands while hitting a piņata with your penis. It's awesome!

I was just being a bit sarcastic, but it still has some truth in it because after all Belgium created the genre. From there it got to my country (Netherlands) where it also got popular, and now it seems to go overseas and such. Don't worry guys, jump isn't considered 'cool' here anymore since 6 year olds try to imitate it on the streets.

Oh and I'll forgive you guys though since you have Arno, dEUS, Fixkes and Amen Ra (not to mention K3!)

Pretty much anything is cool when you're on Ecstasy, which is why I always hated myself for actually enjoying shit like George Akosta when my friends and I would take it in our living rooms.

Don't even ask me why I didn't put on Underworld or Future Sound of London because I do not want to think about how absolutely awesome that would have been.  It's been 2 years since I've done X and I don't like it when I miss it.   :cry:

Honestly, the video* made me want to burn my own eyes out.  I feel ridiculous watching somebody dance like that.  But I listened to the song without the video, and I can kinda dig it.

But let's not even get me started on ridiculous gang fights.  I go to a high school with members of the Bloods, Crips, and MS-13, all sandwiched between Baltimore and DC.

This place defines the pointless gang fights.  Fucker might as well be in Oakland or something.

My wife works in Washington Hospital Center, so she gets to see the aftermath of all that shit.  MS-13's trademark machete attacks, gunshots to the head, all kinds of horrific stuff comes to her.  Bonus: every once in a while, some gang member who fails to kill their target on the first try will try to get into the hospital to correct the error. 
Title: Re: I am officially too goddamned old now...

No, correcting the error of only grievously wounding the guy instead of killing him outright.  They'll try to finish the job properly before the victim has a chance to recover from the first attack.

Post by: Katherine on 01 May 2008, 19:42
Machete attacks?  I cannot fathom that. 

Okay, yes I can.  I actually saw a man cutting his grass with a machete.  In Upstate New York.  From now on, I will just assume that means the guy is in a gang, not just crazy.
