    Well unfortunatly if you do like some rock, say Korn for example, you are still looked at as a "follower". First and fore most, just because it's played on the radio doesn't make it a fad. Just like when a band that has been underground for years finally gets songs on the radio, AFI & Bad Religion for example, doesn't mean they "sold out". They just finally reached the pinnacle of public notice. OR even better, if you find their cd's in a major chain, doesn't mean they sold out. Only bands that sell out are bands that abandon their style and literally say "F" you fans we want something else.

    I also get a kick out of it when people call me a fad follower. Especially when it comes to rock like Korn, Tool, Marilyn Manson, NIN etc. Little do most people know, I listened to that stuff pre Jr. High. (94ish) Hell I was into Nirvana in 4th grade. (nevermind was just released). Funny one was my liking of the Insane Clown Posse. I know they aren't for everybody so no comments please. My first day of high school, I walk in wearing a shirt representing them. Next year it doubles, then the following year it's worn by people that have NO IDEA who they are, or what they sing about. Boggles the mind.

      solution to your radio problem... get dual exhause and say screw the radio.


      i'm not a fan of much 'pop' music at all.
      the only rap artist i like is eminem, the lyrics he writes are genius
      if i ever listen to the radio sataion i'm listening to one of the classic rock stations, even then they are going soft.

      these emo kids out there piss me off too....
      even country is getting bad, the best country song i herd on the radio lately was east bound and down by jerry reed. haha, i was on the bus going to school and it started playing.... so i started singing and remanicing of smokey and the bandit.

      i'm a redneck.
      i drive a american car with a v8
      i listen to classic rock
      and some more stuff but i'm too un-orginal to think of anything.
