The person below

I've always had this theory that being a pirate would be better than being a ninja.

While both groups are extremely well versed at killing, pirates get to party like it's 1999 and their gear is much more fashionable. So on those two differences alone, I request to change my affiliation. All right?

The person below has a tattoo(s) in visible a place(s).

blissed · 12-02-07 13:18:23

I just have a cooked breakfast tattooed on my head.

The person below thinks the word Emo was invented so people wouldn't have to keep saying punk revival and they can pretend it's all new and not 30 years old. They think it's all so boring, and they think the 21st century beats the ass off the last one so we should be celebrating with a culture of original artistic ideas!! I know this seems a little specific but I'm pretty sure thats how the person below feels about it all

stolengirlfriend · 13-02-07 05:11:37

Blissed, your tattoo is pretty gnarly.

Ok, so, as far as I know, the use of the word Emo to describe a musical style was created in the late eighties for bands that had "grown-up" and done something different than what they were known for or just up and left their respective scene in general by making a record that was totally designed to say "fuck you".

The first band I can remember being referred to as Emo was Dag Nasty. It must have been 1987 or 1988. They were a band from DC that had deep roots in the hardcore scene and, in my opinion, put out with one of the greatest hardcore records of all time (check "Can I Say" for evidence). They then followed up with two records of equal brilliance, however varying in style. "Wig Out at Denko's" was a little hardcore and a whole lot more mellow than the prior record. And, for some strange reason, changing your style up just slightly really bugs kids out. The record that followed "Wig Out", "Field Day", was even more out there to the kids. To point out how well it was received, kids in the scene used to call it "Fag Nasty, Field Gay". I'm sure there are bands that did something different earlier than Dag Nasty (Rites of Spring and Embrace - not the English band - come to mind), but those two records really stick out in my mind as a shining example.

Nowadays, that word is used to describe a lot of different styles. Everything from the slightly ska twinged to Descendents rip-offs to shit I would have liked as a scene kid. I think that people tend to like the idea of things being lumped together into categories because it makes it easier for them to make a decision. Because, "hey, someone has already made the determination that I'll hate this before I have a chance to hear / watch / read it". Kinda like packaged steak. Hardly anyone wants to kill their own cows, but they don't really think for themselves about what their eating when it comes wrapped in styrofoam and cling film.

I actually find that style kinda interesting. Even today, as someone that shouldn't enjoy it. Bands like the Alkaline Trio do that shit proper. And yeah, it's not something that I haven't heard four million times before, but that doesn't make it any less enjoyable.

Me. Los Angeles, CA, circa 1990.

The person below has done (or has always wanted to do) stage dives.

aven frey · 13-02-07 05:47:06

When I was young and stupid I use to crowed surf all the time but I never made it on stage, which is probably a good thing because I'm sure I would have wigged out before I jumped and that would have hurt my hardcore rep (I wasn't really hardcore, I just pretended because I wanted to be tougher then boys)!!!
The person below has a painful mosh pit story to tell.

blissed · 17-02-07 20:58:03

I still am stupid actually but I manage to disguise it pretty well unless I'm left in charge of any sort of dangerous machinery, even a car. So I have a sort of occasional clumsiness thats kept me right away from contact sport too, and any sort of mosh at all, except one time I was in a small club in my home town on a band night before the band went on and there was about 15 people on the floor and the stage was made out of wooden carpeted sections 10" high, so like everybody else I dived off of that into a self conscious reluctant tumble of hands,
sorry, it was all really lame and timid and I'm really glad theres isn't a video of it

The person below gets a robot that can do everything they don't like doing for them, even go out to work.

polarchill · 17-02-07 22:44:07

That would be nice, but the girlfriend is afraid of robots.

The person below is going to run around the house all weekend naked.

blissed · 18-02-07 00:22:21

Yeah why not, I'm getting bored of running around naked outside.

The person below has a cock-and-bull story, is full of hooey, or is spinning a yarn.

blissed · 18-02-07 08:12:08

Actually Kirejops I think my story is closer to the truth.

In my version the man gets badly injured and the hooker gives the little girl a nice home for a while and then reunites her with her mum.

Can the person below go to work for me today and I'll stay at home.

True

The person below tickles Elmo in private.

stolengirlfriend · 23-02-07 05:31:12

Well, yeah. But I've also tickled that bastard in public once or twice before too.

The person below would like IFM to start podcasting.

aven frey · 23-02-07 06:43:16

yeah I keep hearing about this podcasting buisness, um what actually is it?
The person below will explain to silly Max what podcasting actually is.

kirejos · 23-02-07 14:47:53

Podcasts are audio files published in Apple's iTunes. You don't have to be a "Mac Person" to download them, they're totally free of charge, and uncensored. If you go to iTunes, click on Podcasts, and then click on Browse in the top right for example, you can access independent radio shows from all over the world in just about every genre and language you can imagine. A lot of REALLY cool underground stuff. Or, you can download audio versions of TV shows, language courses, college classes, debates, rants, documentaries, etc., etc., etc. In a sense, its a new little universe for art, education, and information that anyone can contribute to, or access, for their own personal enjoyment. And all completely free to anyone that wants it. If you click "download", to the right of whatever it is you want, it appears on your desktop, and it's there for your listening enjoyment, easily transferred to an mp3 player. Its scary how easy it is, I have friends that have become virtually addicted to downloading podcasts. It's called "Podcasting" by Apple who wants everyone in the world to own an iPod, and fill it full of "Pod"casts but by now the term has become ubiquitous enough to have entered the public domain as its own thing.

If you had a radio show, what would you play?

For the podcasting thing, I guess should have been more specific. I was mainly thinking that when they created the Quicktime version of the clips that get posted they could just post an alternate .m4v version so that we could take the beauty with us.

.m4v files are iPod compatible for those with an iPod that plays videos. I have some of the IFM clips converted, but it's kind of a pain in the arse to do it on my own. I have to download the clip, convert it in Quicktime, then load it. It'd be much easier to download it once from the site.

kirejos · 23-02-07 16:20:05

Whoops! I thought I was in the question game. Hmmmm.....

The person below thinks I may be spending too much of my time in the IFM forum.

blissed · 24-02-07 04:05:55

blissed · 25-02-07 22:53:04

The person below was little baby Jesus in a church play.

aven frey · 26-02-07 00:16:29

I wasn't Jesus, some issue with my gender aparently. I was however an angel at Carols by candlelight, much to my parents disgust and my grandma's delight!!

The person below went to church when they were a kid and may or may not have been Jesus in a play.

blissed · 26-02-07 01:17:34

LOL... I'm sorry, I tried to tie him to the luggage rack but I got pulled over for animal crualty so I put him in the back seat with my 10 children. You can see we wrapped one of them in a blanket and stuck him in the back window there because the floor was already taken by all the garbage we keep down there. And I swear that my 1979 Mercedes-Benz passed emissions testing and that is NOT smog coming out of my tail-pipe.

The person below me thinks my tractor's sexy, and it really turns her on!
(by the way incase someone doesn't know... it's a country song)
