I just joined another forum and realized how fucking idiotic some people are. I now know why I joined TFP and have stayed with it.

After joining the forum, I was immediately bombarded about how stupid my avatar was and how immensely stupid putting "-Lasereth" at the end of my posts were. I asked if usual newcomers to the forum were treated like this, and what did I get? That's right, ur a fag. I can't fucking stand when people use the term fag, or when people use the term gay for the wrong reasons. I've since argued with these forum members why using the term "fag" is stupid. They say that they have nothing against people because of their race or sexual preference, just that they hate niggers and fags.

I did some research on the forum, and I found out that it is composed mainly of high-school "indie" kids. Apparently, "indie" is a label that is put on people that listen to a certain type of music. These forum members say that once a band makes it to the air, they "suck." If they make more than one album, they "suck." If they are on the radio period, "they suck." The ONLY good bands are those that I had personally never heard of. Not only did they say that they hate conformists and communists (ha ha), but they said that they do NOT label people because of the music they listen to. Ok, they say they're indie because they listen to indie music. See my point?

I've become overly enraged at this forum and simply quit it the same day I started it. It was the most absolutely ridiculous thing I've ever taken part in. Are all indie high-schoolers as bad as these idiots? Is calling someone a fag every single sentence neat? Why are they so hell-bent on not conforming to society, yet they are inversely related to it 100% by not listening to a band because society in general likes it?

Please, please tell me that not all of the people that listen to these indie bands are like this. Anyone care to comment?
