How about you have a little calm down?
I dont know if you know me, but i am not in the slightest the most serious person ever. Im not telling them what to do at all. I never said i was doing. Im plainly saying it pisses me off to see it. And i know this guy named Andy. Scene as anything who wears a Cannibal Corpse shirt, and hes never heard a single song, admittedly. Stuff like this, and Gus' story, well its annoying to see. Youve interprited this in a very very different way by the looks of things.

The people who wear band shirts from bands they've don't actually listen to to try and be cool are very annoying, little better than the arses who wear classic rock/metal t-shirts "ironically". They should all be run over. With a Tiger tank.

And The Prof has spoken.

It really is a fuss over nothing though. At the end of the day these people don't affect you in any way shape or form so I'm really not bothered by them. Sure they're a bit annoying, but that's about it as far as I'm concerned. Getting offended by the way other people dress is a little bit too much for me.

Actually they do affect people. The amount of "scene" bands I've seen snag support slots with good bands after writing just 2 or 3 songs when good local bands have been told "the line-up is full" who then bugger off as soon as they've played and don't even bother watching the headline band is ridiculous.
When you see genuinely good bands formed by people who have spent years (and a hell of a lot of money) going to gigs to "support the scene" being kicked in the teeth in favour of some bunch of scrotes who formed a couple of weeks ago, can barely play and don't even stick around to watch the other bands then yeah, it does affect people.

Yeah, but they're not affecting people by just wearing band shirts. They're doing it by being in shit bands.

It's all part and parcel of the same thing though. They'd still be trying to get support slots with Disturbed rather than Suffocation or Necrophagist if they didn't try and latch themselves onto the death and black metal scenes.
You say it affects no-one but you get clowns like this blatantly stealing band logos:

You get gigs by the likes of Deicide full of hardcore dancing idiots (many of who have never even heard the band before but just want to go "to see the guy with the inverted crucifix burnt into his head") who throw their arms around with no care for the fact there's not actually space to do so and hitting people in the face. Basically they're just fucking annoying.

I own a Cannibal Corpse shirt, not that big of a fan either, I pretty much only like the Vile album, BUT even though I wear a shirt from a band I'm not that big in to, It still pisses me off to see someone wearing a shirt from a band they don't even listen to, I mean, I don't walk up to them and say "Fuck You" but it kills me a little inside..

hmmm, I see what you're saying. I fucking hate the whole hardcore arms flailing malarkey but still....I'm never going to say certain types of people shouldn't be allowed to go to certain types of gig (with the definite exception of chavs. They shouldn't be allowed anywhere).
But they definitely shouldn't get support slots with bands they don't deserve, but isn't that more of a problem with promoters putting bands on they think will make them more money rather than bands that deserve to go on? Wouldn't the same sort of thing happen with other types of band if these people weren't around?
Don't get me wrong - I wouldn't be disappointed if these people disappeared overnight but I can't really say more. I'm just too tolerant for my own good!
oh and is that url really the one you meant? Or do you have a secret taste in electro music

It's very much the url I meant, look at the band logo on "their" t-shirts.
