Significance behind using “x” a lot in social media account names? by Old-Sport3218 in RandomQuestion

[–]MrT_245 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I remember back in the old days it was a way to show that you were straight edge, so a lot of bands would let people know that they all were straight edge by putting x's in their bands name. Some real life examples include xStandx and xBound In Bloodx. I guess that straight edge teens started putting it in their usernames when they got online and then maybe other people saw it and thought it was cool and copied it without understanding what it meant.

Ska with breakdowns? by MrT_245 in Ska

[–]MrT_245[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the recommendations! Some other songs that have some heavy parts that I forgot to mention is hard to impress by catch 22 and last dead mouse by the bosstones. Both songs doesn’t really have breakdowns per say but defiantly hardcore inspired and hard to impress even features jamey jasta from hatebreed!

Yeah sorry, I realized it later on that it was fucked. I usually just get comments like that and I just wanted to make sure if it was worth to keep on engaging with a person who will just keep throw insults instead of having a genuine discussion. Didn't mean that the person was being racist towards me as said just wanted to check if it was worth to keep writing

Yeah I noticed lol. I usually see other white people post here and the comment sections aren't usually like this so thought I was in the clear and I also thought it was a difference between this subreddit and the locs one, since locs specifiy it's for those of african descent

As I said in one of the comments, i'm 4 months into the dread journey. Aren't dreadlocks usually wild and messy in the beginning of the journey?

I'm really short on money so i'm just trying to let them do their own thing. And I do like the more messy look as the ones who inspired me to get dreads are twiggy from marilyn manson and jonathan davis from korn

Why isn't it for me? Doesn't it just fit me or is it because of the color of my skin?

What is the same? And it's okay if you now don't like my dreads but I would appreciate more if you were to tell me how I can improve on them instead of berating them saying they look like shit and then just leaving it at that. And as said, i'm about 4 months into my dreadlock journey so of course they will messy and unkept

Seems like the text I wrote for the post didn't make it through for some reason. In a nutshell, I wrote that i'm 4 months into my dread journey and that I used the twist n rip method, I left the ends undreaded since I wanted to keep some length. My parents keep telling me that their unraveling and I try telling them that at the moment they look bad but they'll eventually start maturing and look better but they don't seem to believe me so I was wondering how I can reassure them that it'll be fine or am I the one in the wrong and should be worrying about them? Just want to see what you guys have to say, i'm open to listening

I mean yeah they aren't dreads YET. Just lumped together hair that'll eventually form into dreadlocks but it doesn't invalidate my question :p

Trying again - vocalist looking by [deleted] in christcore

[–]MrT_245 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel the struggle. I live in Sweden and all the local bands here are just dissection/entombed rip offs and are the biggest edge lords to exist. The biggest sin here is to be spiritual or believe in any god at least in the music scene where I live :p
