The Official Throwing the Horns is Played Out, Knock It Off Thread[views:31293][posts:72]________________________________ [Oct 14,2012 9:57pm - Burnsy ""] Lamest shit ever. That shit doesn't mean metal. Throw a fist not your faggot pinky and index finger. The Texas longhorn fans were doing that long before you decided that it meant devil horns. Fuckin idiots. Piss off. |
| _________________________________ [Oct 14,2012 10:02pm - KEVORD ""] Old news. Rich Horror had a Myspace page about throwing the horns being gay. |
| _________________________________ [Oct 14,2012 10:32pm - Burnsy ""] Haha MySpace is awesome. I'm gonna reactivate my account. |
| _________________________________ [Oct 14,2012 10:35pm - KEVORD ""] Justin Timberlake bought Myspace. It's making a comeback. |
| _________________________________ [Oct 14,2012 10:42pm - Burnsy ""] Sounds legit. My new band isn't gonna have Facebook. We'll just spam phantom MySpace pages and be forever underground. |

| _________________________________ [Oct 14,2012 11:06pm - Burnsy ""] Adorable. |
| ______________________________________ [Oct 14,2012 11:38pm - Arrow NLI ""] Disagreed. Not gonna change something I've done longer than some of you have been alive to be fashionable. Sounds like the antithesis of metal, to be honest. |
| ________________________________________ [Oct 15,2012 12:21am - egg mcmuffin ""] Burnsy is just getting old/being lame. Throwing horns 4 Eva |

| ____________________________________ [Oct 15,2012 7:21am - arilliusbm ""] It's overdone, yes, but shouldn't die. It has become synonymous with metal for quite sometime. It had other uses before the Texas Longhorns, as well. Quite frankly I'm more for the elimination of hipsters than the flashing of a sign. |

| ________________________________ [Oct 15,2012 7:57am - Burnsy ""] egg%20mcmuffin said:Burnsy is just getting old/being lame. Probably this. I'm not old enough to be getting old though. Shit. Disagreed with Arrow that not throwing them is fashionable. I consider it more fashionable that people throw them just because other people are throwing them. I know the horns have become synonymous with metal. I guess I'm just not a hand signal guy anymore, and no I'm not racist against the deaf. The farthest I'll go is pumping my fist. I'd rather get rid of backwards hats before I'd get rid of hipsters before I'd get rid of the horns. |
| ________________________________ [Oct 15,2012 8:41am - KEVORD ""] Don't backtrack Burnsy. Throwing the horns is poser bullshit. |

| ________________________________ [Oct 15,2012 8:47am - KEVORD ""] LOL, We were throwing the I love you hand sign at Devildriver on Saturday night just to be dicks. |
| ____________________________ [Oct 15,2012 8:53am - ? ""] KEVORD said:LOL, We were throwing the I love you hand sign at Devildriver on Saturday night just to be dicks. sounds more like you were being a fag |
| ______________________________________ [Oct 15,2012 8:57am - karl hungus ""] The only thing gayer than throwing the horns is when some faggot vocalist says "LET ME SEE YOUR FUCKING HORNS" |

| ____________________________________ [Oct 15,2012 9:24am - arilliusbm ""] Clapping is worse than horns. |

| ________________________________ [Oct 15,2012 9:38am - Burnsy ""] Hahaha I was thinking that during agalloch on Saturday, Jim . Remembering you yelling at everyone to stop clapping and them listening. After the show, a buddy of mine that I went to the show with goes, "I was feeling the music, having a great time, the crowd starts clapping so I start clapping, then some asshole off to the side yells, 'STOP CLAPPING!'" |
| ______________________________________ [Oct 15,2012 9:44am - karl hungus ""] Alx and aril are both 100% correct lol |
| ____________________________________ [Oct 15,2012 9:57am - arilliusbm ""] People clapping DURING a metal song to match up with the beat = Worse than duck duck goose. |
| __________________________________ [Oct 15,2012 9:59am - chrisREX ""] I like horns more than when people do the rapid-blast-beat-air-karate-chop-hand-thing. |

| ___________________________________ [Oct 15,2012 10:02am - posbleak ""] Worse than all of these things is when people headbang from the waist Guess what, you look like Shake [img] |

Ah thank you, I meant to include that mannerism in the OP. That and the shreddy hands. Curly hands is okay I guess but shreddy hands are right the fuck out. |
| _____________________________________ [Oct 15,2012 10:03am - arilliusbm ""] The only thing that should be yelled is "Oi." |
| _________________________________ [Oct 15,2012 10:03am - Mark_R ""] what are these things? I'm sure I've seen them, I just don't know what terms are used for them. Is curly hands like when you make the "come here" finger gesture with all fingers in quick succession? |
| _______________________________ [Oct 15,2012 10:09am - ark ""] EVERYONE AT SHOWS DO THE SAME THING OR I WILL LAMENT THE OLDER DAYS OF METALS |
| ___________________________________ [Oct 15,2012 10:17am - chrisREX ""] wtf are shreddy hands...like when the guitarist does a solo and people give him spirit fingers? |
| _________________________________ [Oct 15,2012 10:20am - Burnsy ""] Haha yah Chris. That. Just a neologism. Not in the official metal dictionary to my knowledge lol. |

| ___________________________________ [Oct 15,2012 11:47am - posbleak ""] Bending down to windmill is one thing and I don't care as long as your hair stays out of my drink but planting your feet and rocketing your entire upper body fore and aft is so awkward I've only seen women doing this, I don't understand it |
| _____________________________________ [Oct 15,2012 11:49am - Alx_Casket ""] ^I've seen fat dudes at south shore metalcore shows doing this as well. It's very bro. |
| ___________________________________ [Oct 15,2012 11:50am - posbleak ""] Ugh well there goes my theory of "it's because they're in heels" |
| _____________________________________ [Oct 15,2012 11:51am - arilliusbm ""] Skinny ginger that was dating tub o' lard w/wooden stick does that |

I full body headbang all goddamn day. I guess I don't understand how you'd headbang all rigid and only using the neck. |
| ______________________________________________ [Oct 15,2012 11:55am - this is acceptable ""] [img] |
| _______________________________ [Oct 15,2012 12:31pm - ark ""] The amount of body used in the headbang maneuver is proportionate to the tempo and gravity of the riffage. |

Pretty sure changing the way you do things based on popularity, how common it is, or whether or not it's "played out" is precisely the meaning of "fashionable". I didn't say anything about it being fashionable or unfashionable - you did. |

| ________________________________ [Oct 15,2012 1:07pm - Burnsy ""] Pretty sure your first post in this thread said not throwing the horns is fashionable. I argue that because the horns are the customary norm, throwing them is fashionable. Deciding that it is a lame empty gesture has nothing to do with speaking to the issue of popularity. |
