Heavy metal

Heavy metal (often referred to simply as metal) is a genre of rock music that developed in the late 1960s and early 1970s, largely in the United Kingdom and the United States. With roots in blues-rock and psychedelic rock, the bands that created heavy metal developed a thick, massive sound, characterized by highly amplified distortion, extended guitar solos, emphatic beats, and overall loudness. Heavy metal lyrics and performance styles are generally associated with masculinity and machismo. Read more…|Edit this Artist photo: Motörhead

A few weeks ago as i getting home i was in my complex parkinglot & there's this speed bump (your supposed to go slow over it to avoid tire damage) this driver passes me without even thinking that i was going over the speed bump (i tend to go real slow over it) and of course if i didn't notice him trying to pass me i would have hit him so i just honked at him and started yelling, fucking moron. lol i scared the shit out of the driver, didn't come out of his car at all for a while. Today i was buying some food at my workplace and my coworker was telling me i need to replace my bags (cuz i reuse the plastic bags and i have a few reusable) & i told him long as they work they are fine, there's just a few tiny holes in them and they look worn out but they still work & i told him i superglued my wiper blades on my car, the guy behind me stares at me like i'm some sort of weirdo, but i do it cuz it saves me money and it's using less resources (most of our resources need gas/oil to produce).

He always makes me do that. I do have a low tolerance for idiots though.

crabcorecentral's efforts at trolling are so painfully stupid they make me miss the good old days when Trash73 was the one doing all the anti-metal trolling. Since he stopped and CCC has taken over its like we went from watching Michelangelo paint the roof of the Sistine Chapel to watching a toddler finger paint with shit.

lol that's like calling classical music boring cuz there are no guitars, drums, vocals, blast beats or rapping.
