They had no Godsmack CDs or posters, they only had one Metallica shirt for Christ's sake. Needless to say they had no Static-X or Coal Chamber. You're confusing two types of people and two types of bands as the same thing, better luck next time.

By the way, I never found a Godsmack shirt in any of the stores in our mall...
Nope, you're really not that different. You both think you're rebelling against society and so different from the norm just because you wear black and you're an "atheist" and listen to bands that sing about such "deep" topics when really the topics are just morbid cliche tripe that could be written by pseudo-depressed suburban 12 year old girls.

Mixture of EBM, Industrial metal and techno (to put it in simple terms).

You either have no clue what nu metal is (hip hop/funk ispired metal) or you have never heard a NDH song (you've heard Rammstein haven't you? Not nu metal)...

Dude, however you dress it up, it doesn't change the underlying fact here - that Oomph are rubbish and write about hackneyed trollop!

Now Crowquill knows me personally...

The difference between myself and them is they are rebelling against the 'cool kids' and I am appling critical thaught to religion, politics and philosophy using reasoning and rationality to come to conclusions that may contradict traditional memes and practices.

They are not rebelling against the corporate machine like they may believe they are, they buy thier little wallets and saftypinned badges with band logos, and they buy into the whole goth/rebel image (this transcends bands of course), I do not. I am not a spender, I save about 95% of my paycheck, I'm not some materialist slave like they are.

I don't wear all black, I have no label at all and I fit into no 'group', not even the gothy rebels. I have some friends in each group, and I mostly have friend that like me have no 'group', I'm truly the anti-social one not them.

It doesn't matter how long it lasts, they showed balls and creativity by doing something original.

I find it hard to believe a Godsmack fan is "rebelling against the corporate machine" but whining about pop on an internet forum.

Pop is generally pretty awful, it has it merits in that it entertains the masses, and gives me endless hours of entertainment ripping on it's stupid fans.

The problem is, you're identifing me simply as a 'Godsmack fan' and well, judging me/making assumptions based on other people who are supposedly Godsmack fans.

And what does whining on an internet forum have to do with consumerism and corporations?
