Weird Conversations with Directioners

I recently engaged in a really bizarre troll war with a series of Directioners on a website. I'll change their names for anonymity etc, but yeah. I'll just say, I'm really bad for this, I engage in arguments really easily.

I POST A PICTURE A PICTURE OF FALL OUT BOY AND NIRVANA MERCH THAT HAS ONE DIRECTION'S PICTURES AND LOGO'S EDITED INTO THEM.

ME AND A FEW OTHER REASONABLE PEOPLE TALK ABOUT HOW IT MUST BE A BREACH OF COPYRIGHT.

Amy (yndo): Ya guys are so mean
(RANDOM COOL GIRL THAT LIKES PARAMORE): We're not being mean here, it's them. They stole things that belong to other band! Not cool, not gonna earn my respect. But hey, just proving my point about how they aren't original.

Amy (yndo): Well ya.... But still saying that they (haven't) got talent is rude..

Louise Xx (me): Do you realise how the directioners told a five year old to kill herself? How rude we must be. 
This is not only a violation of copyright but a breach of moral dedication, by a band that are autotuned to such an extent they'd be unrecognisable in person.

Amy (yndo): Well your saying the directioners are rude! Don't say the one direction is rude and untalented cuz that's not true or else they wouldn't have been signed

Me: Really? They wouldn't have been signed? Do you realise the X Factor is an over decorated talent show who'd sign anyone with a nice face for the pure purpose of selling bubblegum fake pop to a bunch of musically illiterate preteen children?

Amy (yndo): Not really.... 

Amy (yndo): To be honest that is your thought!!! So many great artists got signed cuz the X Factor

Me: Lists? Little Mix, the band who's been enveloped in controversy due to the excessive voice altering? Jedward, the young Irish kids who've mistakenly been turned into a mockery by people they were instructed to trust? Or the hundred and one other nobodies that the show wheeled out?

COOL PARAMORE GIRL: Amy, get of the board please. You arguing your point is pointless, and now you're making me mad. Just get off.

Amy (yndo): INSULTS ME THEN DELETES POST

Me: (refusing to give up in the troll war) And perhaps you should research grammar rules to improved your advantages in arguments rather than personally insulting people for simply not liking a band.

Amy (yndo): Darling.. If I wanted a grammar class I would take it!!

Me: I suggest you do because I really can't take you seriously when you don't use it. And please don't call me darling. 

Amy (yndo): Well that's just you...!!

Me: What is it exactly that's 'just me'?

Amy: Well... your opinion!

Me: And that would be? The opinion that grammar is important, because I believe that's an opinion shared with the English education system, or the opinion that every X Factor export is talentless, because I know there are a whole lot of hate boards and an entire Rage Against the Machine movement that would support that.

Amy: Haha listen, I'm on summer break and away from school... I can do/say anything I want!! Ok? Good!

Me: Perhaps you should practice what you preach and leave us to obtain the opinion that 1D are a calamity upon our society.

Amy: I DON'T PREACH! Maybe you should start learning what could hurt other peoples religion!

WHAT. THE. ACTUAL. FUCK.

Me: It's a phrase. It doesn't refer to religion in any aspect. I'm an atheist anyways, so I didn't mean it in a religious sense.

Amy: Well other people might not know that!!!

Me: The general population is aware of the phrase 'practice what you preach'. Anyways, this conversation is dead, considering the fact that you've resorted to personal insults in the hope you'll gain precedence over me. I'm gonna go listen to a worthwhile band such as Nirvana, goodbye.

Amy: Haha, you are funny!!! Byeee darling!!

COOL PARAMORE GIRL INTERJECTS WITH EXTREMELY INTELLIGENT VIEW ON DIRECTIONERS WHO PROWL FOR HATE BOARDS.

Compared to TROLL WAR TWO, this girl was a fucking genius. Paramore girl is also involved in Troll War Two. We're like a team against shitty music.

I POST RANDOM DISS ABOUT 1D

H: (Asks me why I hate 1D)

Me: (I repeat myself)

H: (Accepts it, tells me she disagrees but respects opinions.)

Me: No probs.

H: (Repeats earlier comment)

Me Okay. Cool.

OH DEAR. HERE'S THE GIRL I WAS ON ABOUT.

1L: We'll DA FABULOUIS person has arrived and they never told a five year old to kill herself yet I had to explain to my cousin what self harming was since she was asking

(I earlier referred to the situation in which Directioners launched an attack against Mitch Lucker's 5 year old daughter Kenadee.)

Me: They told Mitch Lucker's daughter to kill herself. 

1L: They wouldn't since its about not cutting or killing yourself ain't possible mate

Louise Xx: I'll link you to a post with the evidence to prove it.

-

1L: (talking about the multiple people saying shit about Mitch Lucker) That shitface isn't a fan no fan would say that only the ones that are on drugs would

COOL PTV FAN: There's a lot of Directioners all up on Mitch and Alex (Gaskarth)'s cases

1L: Really??!!? I'm just a fan who hates on the haters who hate to much

Me: These are all several different people so infatuated with the anything vaguely 1D related that they would say things like that and I find it shocking that you would dare defend a fanbase that threatens small children.

Me: (REALISES GIRL IS INSANE AND TRIES DESPERATE ATTEMPT TO LIGHTEN THE MOOD) Grand philosophical question- if you hate haters, are you a hater?

ATTEMPT IS IGNORED

1L: WELL NOT ALL OF US THREATENS SMALL CHILDREN DO YOU SEE EVERY SINGLE DIRECTIONER ON TWITTER THREATENING PEOPLE!!!!!? I STICK UP FOR THE FANS WHO ARE GETTING HATED ON!!

COOL PTV FAN: No offense to you personally 1L, but about 70% of your fanbase is overly obsessed ten year olds.

1L: I don't hate on a daily basis.

Me: (sick of this fucking bitch) Calm the fuck down, due to the atrocity of the hate from your fanbase, you really don't have any moral ground to stand on here.

1L: The ten year olds don't have social media

Me: And (COOL PTV FAN) is completely correct. And btw Jaime Preciado is cool AF. (Refers to her profile pic.)

1L: Louise u hate on my fan base and idols i will slay you

Me: (uninterested) Oh dear, I hope you don't caps lock me to death.

COOL PTV FAN: Jaime is fabulous isn't he xD

COOL PTV FAN: (referencing my comeback) *z snap*

Me: Haha, thank you, yes he is fabulous, as is Pierce the Veil as a band. (I'm a PTV fan, deal with it.)

1L: No just no


Me: No, to what exactly?

COOL PTV FAN: (flips) Excuse me lady? I haven't offended your favourite band, don't you DARE offend mine.

1L: This Jamie (fucking hell, it was just posted, learn to read woman) isn't fabulous and pierce the veil isn't as well

Me: I don't see any PTV fans threatening Directioners, do I?

COOL PTV FAN: Shut the fuck up and go back to your princess fandom. 

1L: U

COOL PTV FAN: Get the fuck out 1L

COOL PARAMORE GIRL: (Swoops in) Okay! I haven't read all these comments yet but (PTV FAN) chick, shut up. I hate 1D on a whole different level but 1L here obviously isn't a hater (debatable) so leave her alone! You're setting a bad name for the people who listen to our music. You say you want peace but from the looks of it that's nothing the three of you want so just stop. 1L get off this board, it's not where you belong, as for (PTV FAN) and Louise I'll read the rest and explain my POV afterwards.

Me: I agree completely (PARAMORE GIRL), I get way too het up, but in all fairness telling me she was going to kill me really wasn't necessary.

1L: (Post some shit and deletes it)

Me: 1L, this argument is completely hollow, just leave please.

PARAMORE GIRL: (turns on 1L) 1L just no. Get off now. I am a very passive person until you diss something I really care about. No asks you if you like PTV just GET OFF! Enough! Geez!

1L: (Posts something incomprehensible.)

Me: 1L? That wasn't coherent English, and Isa, Paramore rules, your taste is fabulous.

BRACE YOURSELVES FOR THE MOST UNINTELLIGENT COMMENT I'VE EVER SEEN.

IL: Coherent??? What I'm speaking English which is British English


OH MY FUCKING GOD SOCIETY DOESN'T NEED PEOPLE LIKE YOU PLEASE FLY TO THE MOON AND DON'T FUCKING BREED ON THIS EARTH.

I didn't say that, obviously.

PARAMORE GIRL: (Responds to my Paramore comment and chest bumps me via the internet because she's one cool motherfucker.

I refuse to respond to 1L because she's an ignorant twat.

You Aren't A REAL Fan!!!

I think we've all seen the fan police around somewhere, even if they weren't at our side. You get a lot of people going "You aren't a real fan if..."


I'm going to create a set of fan rules.

1) To be a fan of a band doesn't mean you have to like the members. For instance, I've always thought Metallica were brilliant and extremely talented, but I don't like Lars Ulrich as a person. That doesn't detract from the fact that he is talented as fuck, though.

2) To be a fan of a band doesn't mean you have to like every album. I like Asking Alexandria, but I think their first album sucked.

3) To be a fan of a band doesn't mean you have to like their fanbase. I mean, there are a lot of 5SOS fans that hate the 5SOS fandom. 

4) To be a fan of a band doesn't mean you have to hate on people who aren't. E.G, I bought 'The Black Parade' by My Chemical Romance and my friend told me she couldn't stand them because they were too emo. We're still friends. I don't give a fuck- I like MCR, and that's all that matters.

5) To be a fan of a band doesn't mean you have to justify everything they do, or constantly be at their defense. When Justin Bieber was arrested for being under the influence, a load of Beliebers were like "It's only a DUI, it's only a DUI!"
He could have fucking killed someone. That's not OK. Get your shit together.

6) To be a fan of a band doesn't mean you can't have a favourite song by them. I like (the old) Panic! at the Disco, but I like The Ballad of Mona Lisa more than any of their other songs.

7) To be a fan of a band doesn't mean your favourite song of theirs can't be their most famous song. I love Of Mice and Men, but my favourite song is Second and Sebring, their most famous song. It's still a good song. 

8) To be a fan of a band doesn't mean you want them to be globally famous. Sometimes its nice to be a fan of a band that isn't famous enough to attract poser fans or fake fans.

9) To be a fan of a band doesn't mean you can't think that any of the members are attractive.

FURTHERMORE

1) You are not a fan of a band if you like their looks more than you do their music.

2) You are not a fan of a band if you send hate mail to their friends/girlfriends/boyfriends that you don't like.

3) You are not a fan of a band if you say- "You can't like them, I like them.", I've done this before, and then realised I was being a fucking twat and apologised.

4) You are not a fan of a band if you only know one song. If someone asks you "Do you like (Paramore) you simply reply "I only know (Misery Business) but I really like it."

I realise this was a kind of petty article. Oh well, comment your opinions.

I thought this Danny Worsnop/ Ben Bruce/ Justin Bieber meme was topical and necessary.

UR ALL GONA GO 2 HELL!1!!!1

OK. So, today I was watching the music channel and a load of tour films. One of which was Straight To DVD, All Time Low's tour film.
During one point of the film, there were a bunch of people protesting against the band holding up signs like "GOD HATES FAGS!", and "GOD HATES YOU!" etc etc. Crazy people.
They were all members of the Westboro Baptist Church. They are, in essence an extremist group. Before you all scream your lungs out at me, I am quite away that the majority of religious people aren't like this, but there are some that are.
Anyway. Apparently the group were protesting because of All Time Low's (and I quote) 'sexually ambiguous look' referencing the fact that they have fringes and wear skinny jeans.
The church claimed that ATL as a band are "gender-confused, haphazard freakazoids and a negative influence."
Bear in mind, this is what All Time Low look like. They're actually all quite hot. Certainly not gender-confused haphazard freakazoids.
Like, literally what the fuck?!

Alex Gaskarth, frontman, replied "If embracing all lifestyles will lead me to hell, then I'll see you all there. It's gonna be one happy and tolerant inferno."

I'm not the biggest ATL fan. I'm not the biggest Alex Gaskarth fan. But wow. I couldn't have put it better myself. Someone buy that guy a fucking drink. 

The Baptist church themselves rally against gay marriage on a regular basis. They're fucking twats.

Perhaps I am already bias due to the fact that I am an avid gay marriage supporter (BTW, FUCK OFF, I'M A STRAIGHT WOMAN, I JUST DON'T HATE ON PEOPLE WHO CAN'T HELP WHO THEY ARE) and atheist but this entire scenario makes me blood boil. I have no bones to pick with religious people, but people who are intolerant without reason don't belong on this blog. I'm extremely vocal.

ITS 2014 PEOPLE, GET YOUR SHIT TOGETHER. I'M AWARE THIS INCIDENT OCCURED A FEW YEARS BACK BUT THE WESTBORO BAPTIST CHURCH IS STILL IN PRACTICE

Oh Dear, I Like Metal, Now I Worship Satan

I think the title of this post explains a lot. Just before I begin, NO, I do not worship Satan. Worshiping Satan would effectively be buckling under and admitting that there is a supernatural force that influences our universe, and I don't like being wrong. I'm an atheist.

Satanists
Their shared features include symbolic association with or admiration for Satan, who Satanists see as a liberating figure. It was estimated that there were 50,000 Satanists in 1990. There may be as many as one hundred thousand Satanists in the world.

This definition has quickly been revamped to;

Satanists
People who like heavy music.

These things are very different. Now I found a series of articles explaining that metalheads are ALL effectively Satan worshipers.

"Well, only very few people worship Satan openly and consciously.  A great number of people worship Satan indirectly without them knowing it. There are lots of musicians and bands out there whose songs directly or indirectly hail Satan and by participating in the singing of such songs you will be worshiping Satan, yet being completely unaware. I did a search on metal bands and to my utmost surprise I found out that most, if not all, of the metal bands represent Satan and Satanism (the worship of Satan)."

Taken from a completely troll-free Christian article. This was someone's serious belief.
The examples of 'Satanic bands' use in this article were bands such as Slayer, and Black Sabbath. However, people even think the WAY less heavy bands are still Satan worshiping.

"Known for their uncanny choice of tight-fitted clothing and mop-shag hair stylings, the band Asking Alexandria has attracted many fans who are addicted to the occult.  Journey to the food court of your local mall and you will see countless herds of unruly teenagers walking around hand in hand, boys in tighter jeans than a Vegas showgirl, eye-makeup and blood-red lipstick smeared over the necks of one another — no matter the gender — as they commonly engage in neck-lusting sessions of blood and sniffed drugs between the tables at Chic-Filet and Johnny Rockets.

These kids are the same volatile group that are addicted to JKR Rowling’s bloodbath series, Twilight.  And by no coincidence, when you hear the music produced by this band you can tell it is of Satan and celebrates vampire worship and LSD-ridden blood orgies."

If you haven't noticed, my current band obsession is Asking Alexandria. It was Bring Me The Horizon about a week and a half ago.
Anyway.

"In the following song, A Moment of Sincerity, you can hear a human’s voice go from normal to possessed. Is this Satan whispering secret commands to his followers, the fans of this band?"

Also on Asking Alexandria- Asking Alexandria from the Final Episode era. Asking Alexandria, when they were still a really shitty scene band.


Come one people. I like a heavy bassline, I'm not part of the occult.

Spamming My Favourite Celebs Will DEFINITELY Make Them Love Me!!!

If you've ever been on a celebrity twitter account, you'll probably have noticed that some people can be a little... over-zealous. It's common among fans of One Direction to spam them with twenty or so requests for follow backs because it would 'make them happy forever' etc etc.
However, what some people don't seem to realize is that you're a needle in a haystack. Most of the time, they won't even see your tweet, and sometimes, if you spam them THAT much, they'll block you. For instance;
This was copied and pasted from Twitter. I only took the username out for anonymity.

There was a series of other tweets reading exactly the same.
If anyone did that to me, I'd tell them to piss off, but they simply can't purely because of the sheer amount of spamming their fans do. Not only this, but the language.
Hey, baby!
YOU. AREN'T. DATING. HARRY. STYLES.
Someone said to me yesterday someone said "It never ceases to amaze me the amount of sexually frustrated thirteen year olds who fantasize about having sex with the members of 5SOS and One Direction." and that perfectly encapsulates the entire situation.

ANOTHER SITUATION- haters. Before I begin, a pose a philosophical question.
No, but seriously. NEWSFLASH CHILDREN, your idols couldn't give less of a fuck about people hating on them, there's no need to protect them.
E.g. if someone posts a statement such as "Young Kellin Quinn looks like an emo Harry Styles." (Harry Styles wishes, Kellin Quinn is the lead singer of Sleeping With Sirens, his voice is kind of annoying in my opinion, but there is no denying he's one beautiful motherfucker) there is no need for you to start up a fight.
^Kellin Quinn^

For instance, after I made a tweet that simply read "Jesus, I don't know why you'd like One Direction when there are bands like Pantera, that offer ACTUAL talent.". Harsh, perhaps, but nevertheless I got about twelve responses that all went along the lines of
"Ur jus jelus cuz 1D hav soooo much talent."
"STFU EMO!"
"Who dafuq is panterra r they like the vamps"
"Haterz gonna hate!"
"Ignor her @onedirection, dont let her hurt ur feelins"

Calm down!
Another thing is the trending topics. Now, I often look at the trending topics because I'm extremely interested in politics (yes, a 15 year old who likes Pantera and politics, they do exist) but there is nothing worthwhile- it's all #LOUISTOMLINSONAPPRECIATIONDAY and #WELOVEYOUZAYN and all that shit.

THINGS ONE DIRECTIONS FANS MUST LEARN

THE WHOLE FUCKING WORLD DOES NOT REVOLVE AROUND ONE DIRECTION AND THE MANUFACTURED EVENTS IN THEIR UNDESERVEDLY DECADENT LIVES. 

ANYONE WHO RESPECTS MUSIC HAS PRETTY MUCH EARNED THE RIGHT TO TREAT YOU ALL LIKE SHIT, SINCE THE COMMENTS MADE TOWARDS MITCH AND KENADEE LUCKER.

If you aren't aware, frontman of the deathcore band Suicide Silence Mitch Lucker passed away a while back and was met with comments from Directioners such as 'thank God he's dead, what an emo fag.' promptly followed by insults towards his daughter Kenadee such as 'If Kenadee Lucker misses her dad so much why doesn't she just kill herself too and stop whining.'

Oh yeah, Kenadee Lucker was five.
Five years old.
Five.

My closing statement?

One Direction should really go fuck themselves for all the good they spread across our already quite talent-free society.

Stray Away A Little, Chad!

There are always going to be bands that aren't like every other, that bring something new to the table, who almost always are treated with respect- Nirvana's raspy, lyrically brilliant brand of grunge, Queens of the Stone Age's softly spoken songs filled to the brim with metaphor and endless intelligence, Metallica's... everything. These are all bands who didn't follow the crowd, and changed music for the long-term. Not to mention that with every successful band there are a series of bands that follow with a similar style yet a few brilliant twists, and some who are almost exact copies. For instance, when Fall Out Boy made a splash in the pop-punk scene, out came Panic! at the Disco who took what Fall Out Boy did and give it a personal twist. Once Panic! gathered speed, out came All Time Low, who took what Panic! did, who took what Fall Out Boy did, who took what Blink-182 did, and gave it their own splash of personality. Then, All Time Low gathered recognition, out came 5 Seconds of Summer, in their attempt to be exactly like ATL except with far less moral principles on selling out.

Anyway, after Nirvana's grand splash, out came Canadian Nickelback, who weren't from the Seattle grunge scene, yet repeatedly declared they were in fact, grunge rock. Perhaps they aren't. Perhaps they are. Despite the genre argument, they haven't brought anything new to the table either. I don't hate Nickelback. Their music is perfectly fine. They seem like nice blokes.
But there's been a thousand and one Nickelback's before and they'll be a billion and one after.


ALSO.

I'm sure you've heard all about Avril Lavigne's supposedly racist antics, but you haven't heard that her husband, Nickelback frontman Chad Kroeger co-wrote that song!
