I have openly stated my opinion on this subject in multiple platforms.
Quite honestly I have gotten to the point where I don't care anymore about this local scene and I don't care who gets pissed about it. If I like your band, I'll go see you, this shouldn't be a pissing contest as to how many shows you've attended regardless of the band. How can you expect people to go to shows, just to "SUPPORT" the scene, even if they don't like the band.
How can I be expected to support a scene that is based around shit talking and cliques? I don't give a rats firey flying ass who the "cool kids" are, nor do I feel the need to be a part of any clique. I observe a lot when I go to shows, just sit back and watch, and I see the same thing at most shows. People standing off to the side hovering in their little groups talking shit about the group of people in the other corner. It's like people don't really care about what's going on on the stage so much as making themselves seen out at as many shows as they can. What's the point in paying for a show if you're just gonna stand in the corner or sit at the bar talking shit? When did it stop being about the music and more a popularity contest..
If I have to say I support any group within the scene, it would be the black metal crowd, even though I don't get to attend as many shows as I'd like to, I have the most fun at black metal shows, I see the more people actually watching the bands and I see and hear the least amount of shit talking..
This is just me being real here. I don't think anything will change if this stabbing people in the back, shit talking, clique bullshit doesn't cease. And sadly, I VERY highly doubt it will..

you should probably get a vest. everyone knows you're not cool unless you have a vest. only real metalheads have a vest, and if you don't have a vest then you're probably a wimp and/or poser and you should leave the hall. I have an extensive vest collection full of obscure band patches that you probably haven't heard of because I'm a total metal hipster. also if you get a vest it should probably be leather and not denim. not only are denim vests for people stuck in the 80s and canadians, but leather makes you look much more kvlt and badass and when you're eating gravy and accidentally spill some it will wipe off easier. also it kinda makes you look like you're in a motorcycle gang even if you're not which makes people think your a tough guy, which is important if you listen to lots of heavy metal. its important to look good at metal shows because the only people at metal shows are the others bands and their girlfriends because no one on the street understands why you wear a shirt that says "fuck jesus" in giant letters. everyone knows music is not about having fun but instead how fast you can play or how low you can tune your instruments while not looking like you want to suck a bag of dicks to impress all the other totally non-gay dudes at the show.
so yeah, buy a vest.

I agree with I Like Vests! You indeed need to go to Wilson's leather and purchase one! Younalso have to make the patches so obscure, or else you are not elite enough! Oh, the patches must be grind related too, because everything else is not true metal! Also, make sure you support and go to every show (even if it sux!). If you dont, then you will never be as metal as me! I supported this scene before it even existed! It does not matter if some musicians are two faced douche bags, nor does it matter if elitists run around acting like you are invading their turf! This should be all about the best dressed vest competition! It is about jow many shows u have knotched on your belt, nothing to do with quality, nor the musician's worthiness of having support! If you dont go to every show, and wear your bikers eith no bikes vest with pride, you are one of the weak, and just not brootal enough for this strong running Milwaukee scene! Ya gotta be tiuff to be here! There is a war occuring and only the strong survive! Ya want it to be all about good people and good music, then maybe you should take your hippie ass to a love in, because Milwaukee doesnt like you! Oh, also... Dont forget who really runs and supports this scene! Remember when you see them, roll out the red carpet and bow down! You know this shit doesnt run it's self!

Wow, very strong opinions! And I fully believe everyone is entitled to their opinions. I will never censor this forum, so everyone is entitled to speak up.
