[QUOTE="Will%20Spanner:1349656"][QUOTE="xmikex:1349529"]I was thinking about it last night. I only remember one instance when I was a young metal nerd and an older guy was a dick about it. I went to see Slayer somewhere and saw a pair of dudes in identical Soilent Green shirts. I asked them where they got them and one of them said all smug that he got it when Soilent Green played the Middle East. I explained that I was 17 so I couldn't have gone. Got the "whatever poser" treatment, got butthurt and called him an asshole. Here's the thing though. Metal was such a tough thing to come by in the 90's that usually when you met someone who listened to the same stuff you were into there was a modicum of mutual respect. To find out about even bands like Emperor and Morbid Angel took at least a little bit of legwork, and it was real easy to ID the people who didn't do their homework. If you met an older dude with a bigger music collection than you it was a learning experience. They were psyched to share because you were psyched to listen. It was a whole different dynamic that I couldn't even expect nowadays n00bz to wrap their brains around.[/QUOTE] Nail and head. This is something I've actually been pondering quite a bit as of late and somehow a lot of conversations always seem to end up at this topic. It was always exciting to find some weird new band be it though a friend/a zine/on your own browsing thought a record store, ect... Even if you ended up not really liking what you heard, that was part of the mystery. Of course you did run into the occasional asshole as you described. I've met more than a few territorial "I was here first" types that had the attitude that you somehow shouldn't even be allowed to like a certain type of band or style because you weren’t there whey they first started.
