OMG
How do our youth group themselves? (in relation to music/fashion)?
If your band had a support slot with a band that you despised musically,
Do you ever buy a CD you that would not usually be to your taste to attempt to diversify, musically

Other hobbies include wearing jumpers, arsing about with Photoshop and trying to beat the world record for the number of offensive comments made in any 24 hour period. He has been married twice but his heart really belongs to his guitars. All 436 of them.

    What about them?

    I think the suggestion is that they are fucking moronic

    but then, which is more moronic?
    posting threads to engage others in debate (or, sometimes, just for the hell of it), or posting anonymously on a barely-visited blog to insult a group of music fans?
    out of context these thread titles are meaningless and any attempt to mock DiSers is therefore invalid.

    side note: are you the same jokers who made DownInSound.com? that was lol.

    i don’t see what’s moronic about them, they’re just threads. How is ‘Artists that changed/developed your music taste?’ moronic? What are you expecting? There are a lot of moronic threads on DiS, but these seem strange choices. If you want moronic, check the ‘social board’. Or NME.com.

    I wouldn’t pay a passing comment much mind
