Be friends with genuine people, not just for music taste. It's cool to recommend something new but if someone tries it and dosent like it do not keep going out of respect
I just don't even mention my music or movie tastes to people. I watch horror and listen to metal more than anything else but I have never met a single person who is as into either of them as I am. So out of respect I just don't mention my interests much at all because I know no one cares, but I do wear my horror/metal shirts, battle jackets etc and if anyone I meet points them out and says they like them, then great.. But that hasn't happened yet..
I had the opposite. I listen to metal, of course & through my life I had people trying to make me quit & "cure" me; mostly with pop & rap. Made me hate both even more
Similar situation here because I wear all black and people constantly tell me to wear different colors sometimes they even recommend me certain clothes I shoud wear
Or worse is when you do like metal drumming or air guitar while in between sets at the gym (to take a bit of a breather) and you see people laughing at you. Why did I mention this? Because it's happened to me so many times.
Hi, just found your chanel, nice. As a female metal head in my 40-ies I tend to meet the metal pushers that for some reason think I'm totaly oblivous to the existence of some bands and I hate it. Like the other day I took my car to the car doctor (needed to order a set of new tires) and there was this guy in a Ghost t-shirt that noticed I had an old bathory shirt on (My favorite "today I don't give a shit how I look"-t) and he asked what Ghost record I liked best, and I just " hey dude I don't care fot Ghost, I think it's generic, boring radio metal".(I don't give a shit if others like them, just don't push it on me)..it seemed to offend him for some reason and he started to yapping about me being a fake as lady, just wearing an old t-shirt to look edgy or what not.....most anoying. Thr garage owner (after he walked away for a little moment to luagh his ass off) that know me quite well and know where I come from, firmly told the guy to back off. I hate people trying to push things on me and specially the type that get offended when you don't share theire oppinion ä.
That's pretty fucked up, he was asking you what your favourite album is from the band HE! had on his shirt? Not yours? You're not the one repping it.. So if you don't show interest in it then it makes sense. What he should have asked is what your favourite Bathory album is.. You know.. Because that's the shirt you're wearing!! Not fuking Ghost. You didn't even say that you don't know who Ghost is.. You clearly stated a valid opinion of them which from that he should have noticed that you are aware of them but you just don't care for them.. But he looked past that and got pissy just because you have a different opinion. Sad. I enjoy Bathory and Ghost btw. I like to wear metal shirts too, but I never try to quiz people on what bands they're repping or whatever.. It's just childish, gate keeping elitism. Especially in the way that guy did to you, makes no sense at all.
I think the biggest problem people need to realize is the fact that other people have their own individual thoughts they don't have to like the same stuff that you like they can be completely different and still like the same kind of things but don't push things on other people let them make that decision themselves. Great message by the way I really enjoyed this video keep up the good work!
Holy shit i get that so much haha Like people harassing you about certain bands i should listen to when i don't care about the band. It pisses me off so much now.
Another thing that needs to stop is all the hatred towards people who like Metal/Death Core,Hardcore, Rap Metal and Nu Metal and calling them “Posers” because they don’t listen to the same type of Metal or “True Metal” as the elitist call it. Things like that alienate newer fans and by not allowing them to like what they like and grow in to bigger fans you instead chases them away from Metal all together and leaves a negative impression on them.
Most of the metalheads hate the ones who listen to pop, rap etc. but they ignore the fact that everyone have their own music taste. You can hate pop but don't hate the people who listen to it.
Story I don’t like pop music but I don’t judge a person on their music tasted and judge them more on their personality. I did meat a few toxic people who listen to pop though... it wasn’t a good experience.
Ugh I hate when people call others posers or criticize them just because they might not be into death metal . I like some heavy metal but for the most part I'm not a death metal person I do think that heavy metal does tend to get a bad reputation.
I adore black metal but not a humongous fan of death metal. I do like it quite a bit but it's just nowhere near as interesting as black metal, grindcore, doom, funeral doom or others.. Out of all the "extreme" metal genres Death is just the least interesting, least memorable one of them for me.
I use to push metal onto a friend in middle school. He liked Slipknot, so I started pushing death, thrash, and grindcore onto him. He didn't like it, but years later we started meeting up again, and he was into all the same stuff as me. During that time, I was also getting into old school hardcore and old school metalcore to switch my tastes up. Nowadays I'm more into all types of punk music (punk is just as various as metal, if not more, honestly) and punk helped me bridge back to my grunge days as a kid before metal, and now I'm able to appreciate more music than ever. But anyway, I started pushing hardcore and metalcore (and of course my jazz, rock fusion punk albums by Minutemen) onto my friend more recently. He grew to like Minutemen, because they're not metal, not exactly punk, but something totally different. Other than that, when ever I bring up hardcore or metalcore, he's not interested. I get it, but with some bands I've shown him that are basically metal to begin with, I've come to the conclusion that my friend probably just hates the hardcore/metalcore label that most metalheads hate without giving some of it a chance.
I’m a very diverse guy who loves listening to multiple genres and other sorts of entertainment that most people like. I’m glad that I know how to get into a conversation with a person base on their character and interests, so that it would be an interesting conversation somewhat.
I dont push metal all the time But when i do I succeed Two of my friends who HATED heavy metal and laughed at me for liking it are metalheads now because i can be very persuesive about it
@@nathanpeterson7387 like i see why you might think that But they paid 120 dollars for a concert last summer So its a bit much for being nice to a friend
A lot of it really comes down to maturity. I used to be VERY opinionated that I was always right and pushed my opinions on others but now that I've grown up more, a lot of that really doesn't seem to matter. I now realise that everyone has their own opinions and interests and we are all created differently. I am both a metalhead and a huge Marvel fan ironically, haha. Metal and Marvel have always been two of my biggest passions and I love talking about them. My wife is not a metalhead like myself, but she understands that it's something I enjoy and she supports it. She even has grown to tolerate some Extreme metal in the car during road trips because I haven't forced it on her. Being respectful and not a jerk can really go a long way believe it or not.
Within the metal community there is this frequent thing where people believe you ought to love certain bands and/or worship certain albums or "you don't belong here." You can't have just listened to the albums in question and found them just not to your liking but still harbor great respect for what they are and their place in the history of the music. You have to HAVE TO like it, worship it. By doing this, they steer people away from the albums/bands that they are endlessly venerating, through no fault of the bands themselves.
In my opinion Heavy Metal is a calling. It’s something you either like right away or do not. I only show it to someone once and if they’re not into it that’s when the conversation stops.
Even though most of us ( i know I definitely am) have been guilty of being a pusher, especially being young & recently discovering a certain metal band or genre. Your video had hit the nail on the head. Even though I’ll continue to refer bands or promote my band to people, if people respond positive comments then I’ll continue if they don’t react or give negative comments then ok I’ll stop. Good video.
I,am guitarded, my conversation always gets around to guitars somehow, so I try to remember not everyone is interested in guitars . Good point Blackmetal Werewolf.
Completely agree. My sister is completely into kpop and used to push it into my face a LOT. That's why I refuse to be a "pusher". We've gotten along fine and we recommend each other songs that we like even though it's not really our style. I think that it's nice to take interest in other people's interests. It validates them and they associate you more positively, too. So even though I don't know marvel much, I checked endgame out because everyone was so into it. Also I don't really care about football but my brother does, so I follow it. There's a difference between coworker and family and friends obviously, but it makes people happy to talk about their own interests and you just need to take a little bit of time out to follow the latest news. So I agree, don't push your opinion onto others, but also take others' opinions seriously and listen to their interests.
I think it’s so cool that you do all your videos in front of a pair of Iron Maiden posters. And I love the King Diamond artwork in the mix. I try not to be pushy towards anyone about anything, but I’m human and I slip up from time to time. I’m clearly interested in your channel, but I’m still learning about black metal as it is known. I like a handful of proto black metal artists.
this is funny cause I told my old friends about how Im into metal a while ago and they expressed how they hated it, a year or two ago they started actually liking the stuff (despite they only listen to Nu-metal lol) its just funny how they were actually able find a part of metal they enjoy after so long.
It's like with WWE, overpushing wresters or pushing a wrestler the fans don't want at all. Examples: Charlotte Flair, Roman Reigns, Jinder Mahal, etc. Nobody wants someone or something shoved down their throats if they don't want it.
This is a great topic. I used yo be sort of a pusher. Not just in metal but in everything. I just get extremely passionate about things i love. But since I've had some self-reflection to do and i am trying to do my best not to be thst way. Now i just try one or two times to get someone to like something i like and then i leave it to them
I've met at least a couple of metalheads trying to push me out of Metallica "but they're sell outs" "but they're not the same band anymore since Justice" So? Metal's just fine and still chugging along nicely. They're the band that got me into metal, but they're not the only ones I listen to either.. Btw great vid and good to find another metal channel! Subbed!
I think I might have pushed a little on my rapper friend who likes some metal. He's open minded, but he only liked one song I shared. Witchfynde's "Give em hell". So I'll take the hint, thanks for this brutal video.
That's pretty particular for someone who is into rap music, since .Witchfynde is more of an acquired taste, even in the metal community.. Not trying to "push", but if it's the riffing that did the trick I'm pretty sure he would like "Death Or Glory" and "Stronger Than Evil" by Heavy Load. Still not pushing, no sir. Hahaha :D
I think I'm guilty about this one. My crush likes BMTH, AA, PTV which I don't like. I told her it's not my thing, it's too mainstream and I said "it's not really metal" unlike the oldschool thrash, death, and black metal genres. Poor me. Hehe lesson learned not to be too honest/bold into a conversation.
@@clownworldhereticmyron1018 you are getting it misconstrued. Honesty by no means rules out politeness (one of the stupidest things I've ever heard, no 🧢). In fact, by not being honest you're likely to lie, give false hope, etc. By being honest you let ppl know you ain't fucking around. Honesty is a sign of respect
I love the sharing aspect of this metal community on UA-cam. It's where I have been able to learn about some great new bands. However, I agree that pushing is never the way to go - whether someone is trying to push their favorite band or get you to hate a band.
this happened to me with an ex once who was _obsessed_ with Kpop, and constantly gushing about them and how attracted he was to them. We would switch listening to music on our bus commute with shared earbuds to share our music. I'd play good and classic Queen, and he'd play his stuff. I tried my best to just go along with it or whatever, I never said anything rude about it to him. But on the other hand, he fuckin hated my love for queen. The "worst" thing I even said was commenting on how Roger Taylor's 'prettiness' and he'd say immature shit like "then go love him instead." And in my head I'd just be like "uhh the fuck??". But yeah. He had a lot of diagnosed mental issues and the relationship was shitty.
I know I'm several months late, but I like this video. You do got a point, just they like it doesn't mean they should push it to you to like it. I always wanted to try to listen to other metal bands but I was afraid of being judged of what music I listen to.
Oh god, they're the fucking worst. They're like the Jazz snobs of the metal world, lol. And whenever I've mentioned that thrash is one of my favourite sub genres, they never miss a chance to mention how much more tEcHnICaL prog is, act all elitist and 'tfw too intelligent' as if I'm some uncultured pleb who is totally ignorant of music theory. They really shit me right off.
@@AnnaKraft97 WTF jazz snobs? Is America that retarded? Tastes are tastes indeed, but come on it's not about technicality at all. There are certain genres of music that are more intellectual and that's it. You don't read philosophy if you can't even understand Dr Seuss. But that's fine! There's music for everybody. You are free to listen to whatever you want, as long as you don't denigrate my own tastes. Maybe it would be better if we all listened to actual intellectual music but we don't, so hard cheese. What "jazz snobs" feel is frustration, because they can play and write everything - much like classical musicians - yet other people talk trash about them. Be it because of ignorance, be it because of envy or whatever reason you find. It's funny because at least in my country famous pop singers still have session and live musicians, and they're all jazz and classical players. Also this whole "LmAo LeT mE lIsTeN tO wHaTeVeR i WaNt" makes sense if you already know what a person is talking about. If you're not even a bit, just a little little little bit curious BEFORE you get to know the matter of discussion, than you're just self centered and boring as fuck. Just my two cents.
@@Celio19891 lmao yeah especially Tool fans, I love Tool, but their fan base can get pretty cancerous, even more cancerous than those 13 year old edgy Slipknot fans.
I'm very guilty of being a metal pusher I try not to be but I have a hard time fathoming that some people don't like metal I can see why so people don't like death metal but all metal that's crazy to me but I know some people don't and that's fine but I'm smart enough to not push woman into metal I get laid
Great video. I've felt the same way when it comes to friends that talk about anime and video games. The only time I've felt this way about music was when I had a friend who was really into black metal and tried to shove bands in my face. Granted I don't hate the music, but it's just not the kind of stuff I like to listen to. I don't have any recollection of any time I might have acted like this with things I like, but I hope I didn't piss anyone off as bad. I have Asperger's Syndrome, and one aspect of it is talking a lot about a particular thing you really like and you don't even realize that the person you're talking to might not be interested. This reminds me of a video I have on my channel that I made last year called "How to Recommend Bands to People". One thing I talk about is another friend I have that spammed a bunch of page invites on Facebook for bands he likes, and I had to tell him to stop because that isn't gonna make me want to check the bands out.
I hate it when people push anything on me so I’ve never tried to push metal or anything into anyone because it’s annoying as shit I’m happy to talk about music with anyone but if someone’s not into it I’m happy to change the subject completely
I’m somewhat of a metal pusher but only to those who try to push their music onto me mostly the ones who like pop,rap, country etc cause somehow they think they can get me into it so I push metal onto them eye for an eye thing lol
I was a metal pusher. I'll admit it. Ive changed. Sure my room is covered in posters and music equipment, but I don't push it on people. Especially when you want customers for your music tracks. I'll also admit, I do like some Michael Jackson, but that's kinda universal. When I get bored of metal, I listen to some rock and MJ. In conclusion, I have no clue where I was going with this. It's 3 am. Thank you.
Probably a lot of people have had a metal pusher phase, especially if they got into heavier music in their formative years. I know I had my "not like other girls" phase as a teen where I thought my music taste somehow made me superior. The important thing is that we can acknowledge that and we're no longer like that. It's unfortunate when people don't grow out of that. Maybe you should say something to your friend...
As a metalhead I dont push it to anyone however I do ask them if they're interested in it and if they are i recommend bands/songs. I listen to a variety of genres so I'm pretty open to music not just one :)
Man that Babymetal guy reminds me; Last Summer we had a bad ant problem in our house. At one point it became such a problem that they infested our PS4. So my boyfriend and I went to the store to buy some ant traps, and were discussing the problem with each other at the checkout line, where the cashier overheard us. And every single time since then, a year later, whenever I've had the same cashier at the store, he will without pause, ask if I have ants in my PS4 still (I don't). Obviously not exactly metal related, but if you want to talk about pushers, holy shit. Which is worse, being known in town as the guy that had ants in his PS4, or being the guy that a year later has to keep asking about it?
In my friend group, I do it kind of as a little joke (since we are all like that), I act like the stereotype that I am this metalhead elitist, but they all know it's a joke. I maybe was like this when I was a kid (particularly with video games before I got into metal which I regret that attitude), however when it comes to the subject of music my taste is luckily diverse enough where I don't listen to just metal. so if one friend wants to talk about alternative rock or progressive rock, I can talk about it in depth because I am into it as well. If it's punk rock in the case of another friend I can talk about is well since I am into punk rock. If it's singer-songwriters, I can talk about it as well since I am also into many artists of that type. Admittedly with mass-appealing pop music of the last few decades or rap (which I am also getting into I know I know I will stand on trial for treason later) that's where I start to not really follow since that is not what I am into. Really through this long post the idea is try to expand yourself when it comes to topics of music, or other topics, not only for yourself (cause u never know u might find ur new favorite thing that isn't metal) but also to help in many different scenarios.
The majority of my friends don't listen to metal. And that's okay lol. I don't understand how some people can't be friends with people who have a different music taste. Whenever we gather for parties and stuff they all play the music they enjoy and that's fine. I couldn't imagine being at one of these parties complaining the whole time, ripping the music and making them put on Meshuggah instead. I'd just be an obnoxious asshole that wouldn't get invited out anymore. Also, has anyone ever had the cool experience of showing metal to someone, and they're like super intrigued by it even though they don't necessarily like it at first? That's an interesting experience cause suddenly you're a fucking all knowing metal guru.
I have a friend who is extremely religious, who was hesitant to get into metal, but I got him started with the old school stuff and power metal and then he never stopped talking about it lol
I might have been a metal pusher in my teens and early 20s but luckily I was too shy to talk to anyone. Luckily. Yeah. *sob* Anyway I think pushing your tastes is a teen thing. As you get older you should learn to honour people's own tastes.
I had a coworker who is into country big time and well of course I'm a metalhead as soon as she found out I hated country she just about flipped out and told me she was gonna make sure I liked country by the end of the month so she always played country and that actually made me hate it more lol
That logic makes zero sense to me. Why the hell do some people think that making you endure more of something you already said you don’t like is somehow going to make you start liking it? Do they just assume that you haven’t ever actually watched/listened to it and just formed an opinion out of your ass?
Great video! I never really considered my self a "metal pusher" but have made recommendations in the past to people who are into the same music I am. Some people like it some people do not and although I do express disappointment when they dont dig what I recommend I let it go and move on. I have been on the receiving end when people try to push their "beliefs" onto me and It down right makes me feel uncomfortable so I can only assume its the same with music tastes. I remember 8 years back I met my current boyfriend who (at the time) was completely into thrash, power, & glam metal. I also love the same bands he does but as soon as i recommended black metal bands or even bands like Amon Amarth he gave me a "nah, i am good. I dont like that type of metal". He didn't even give it a try the douche, lol. I didn't push it then and to this day I dont push it. You'll be glad to know he made his way to Amon Amarth and Black Metal altogether a year ago lol on his own. I just left him alone and let him find his way to me.
Personally, I've grown up with metal and my younger brother likes hard rock and pop but ya know gotta deal with it, it's cool when he asks what the new band is on my battle jacket every now. When it comes to friends I'm just not a very social person so I have my two friends I've had for years and one likes pop one likes rock and soul and the pop one dresses "normal" I guess while the rock one will sometimes wear band tees but she basically looks like an e-boy and I look like a metalhead with the arm bracers, battle jacket and bullet belt so when we go to town together we get a lot of looks.
I've been a metal pusher for like a year. I had just learned about metal and was excited and stuff. And so I tried making my friends like it but the worst thing is that my friend is from these dudes that does like he enjoys everything you do like and enjoy so I acted the same way for a long time until a person I wanted to be friends with just tree me off. So that's my story of metal pushing... Hope I'd realize it sooner..
I used to work with a guy like that not Metal but constantly pushing rock music (which i do like) movies, books, etc just mostly I wanted to check out in my own time but once he started it was literally EVERY single fucking day he’s go on about it & I couldn’t avoid it at the time i was in a small open planned office, apparently he knew what everyone should like ugh, other than that he was nice enough, somethings he did suggest i did like but other times i just weren’t into it & he almost seemed like he got mad when I didn’t like something else he suggested. There was another great guy we liked same classic rock bands like zeppelin, deep purple etc but he kept pushing more & more obscure bands which some i found not my taste, but in his words he wanted to get me to listen to better stuff than “that metal shit”
My worst experience was with this poser I went to school with in the 80's. He claimed to be a headbanger but he liked all the lightweight commercial shit like Night Ranger and Van Halen and didn't like the thrash stuff I was into and we butted heads over that. His favorite band was KISS and every time he'd over hear me and my friends talking Metal, he'd butt in that KISS blew all the bands we liked away. He would talk about all the awards and record sales KiSS had that the bands we liked didn't have. He would push KISS on everyone. He would l always try and bring KISS into every conversation and we'd get sick of it. When we'd tell him to shut up about KISS he'd blow his top and want to fight. If anyone didn't agree KISS was #1, he'd challenge that person to a fist fight or physically threaten anyone that didn't see things his way. I eventually cut him out of my life.
I don't remember ever being a metal pusher, but I was anti-everything that wasn't Metal when I was 14-17. Now though, at 25, I listen mainly to metal, but also anything that I find that I enjoy, but I can't stand rap/hiphop/rnb and that stuff, but I don't care if others like it. It's for them, not me.
I had this friend whom I got along with at first because she was also a woman that was into metal. But eventually she just started shitting on my music taste whenever the topic came up. I would buy a an album of a band she doesn't like and it's just "why would you do that? It's stupid its a waste of money bla bla bla" needless to say we aren't friends anymore.
haven't really had this problem with music, but a couple of my friends did this to me with an anime a while back. I watched a few episodes of it, it wasn't my thing, but they just kept on telling me in detail about all these characters and plot points and trying to get me to watch more of it. like.... I tried, I'm just not into it, I'm sorry 🤷🏻♀️
I will always tell my Metalhead friends about a new band I’ve recently discovered, like “Hey, guys, I just heard (album) by (band), and they’re incredible!” Or “If you like (sub-genre), go check them out!” Give a positive opinion to encourage your friends, but it’s like what you said. Hassling somebody is the quickest way to guarantee that that person is gonna resent you. I usually only snark or bitch about bands with people I know who also can’t stand those bands.
i am a "i swear on my grave that the type of music i listen to is the best thing in the world" type of guy. but than again, i would never really impose my taste in music on anyone(by playing it publicly or anything).
I send my wife videos from time to time. But that's because she has eclectic tastes. She even surprised me by mentioning she has Amon Amarth on her playlist at work.
From what I've seen black metal heads tend to be more pushy to other metal heads a close second is thrash metal being pushy i like both genres but when you're pushing it on someone it just makes them not want to listen to it more and more every time you tell them about it I've met a few people who are very pushy with music fortunately i like just about everything so it tends to work out.
Bruh just got a new sub fan of your wristguards where did you get em, also your from brantford? Small fucking world you also look/sound super famaliar so if i actually know you personally (like met in the past i feel super bad for not being able to remember) anyways stay brutal my guy. Also recommend checking out the album feast by alterbeast amd any albums by either conducting from the grave battlesoul or shadow of the colossus
This is great. Definitely something I've encountered a lot, the best story is I used to work with this guy for 3 years who had severe autism and he would only talk about slayer and metallica, everyday all day he would talk about slayer and yell lyrics etc. The same 5 things about slayer the same lyric excerpts. Obviously everyone hated him and I just felt really bad for him but I still can't listen to slayer because of him
I don't push Metal on family members who listens to classical Music... I always say " It's something you wouldn't listen to ." As far as " baby metal" goes : I describes them as a J pop girl group who was backed up by a metal band....plus there was a major language barrier. ( I don't speak Japanese)
Andreia Reminiec I’m the same way only I like a lot of what they listen to as well lol My Mom is the pop and modern country person and my Dad is the old-School country guy.
I go to a highschool with absolutely no metalheads. There is about 2 thousand kids there. Majority is African American. People have insulted my music taste constantly and try to tell me how their taste are better. I decided to stop pushing my interest in metal to people who clearly hate it. When I find another metalhead I just have a little small talk about a kick-ass album or new releases and metal news.
It's like this one customer at my job and he likes talking to me about classic cars (I like looking at classic cars, but I don't want to hear every single detail about the vehicle itself). I totally agree with this topic, though sometimes it's hard to do..including if the person that your working with doesn't say or do anything to send the message across to you that don't want to partake in whatever conversation you are talking about
My friends may think I'm a pusher, but I'm really not. I try to introduce them into it, and I try to show them that the stereotypes they believe aren't real. I don't actually force them to get into it, though.
Be friends with genuine people, not just for music taste.
It's cool to recommend something new but if someone tries it and dosent like it do not keep going out of respect
Didn't like metal at first
It just happen
I just don't even mention my music or movie tastes to people.
I watch horror and listen to metal more than anything else but I have never met a single person who is as into either of them as I am.
So out of respect I just don't mention my interests much at all because I know no one cares, but I do wear my horror/metal shirts, battle jackets etc and if anyone I meet points them out and says they like them, then great.. But that hasn't happened yet..

Like the other day I took my car to the car doctor (needed to order a set of new tires) and there was this guy in a Ghost t-shirt that noticed I had an old bathory shirt on (My favorite "today I don't give a shit how I look"-t) and he asked what Ghost record I liked best, and I just " hey dude I don't care fot Ghost, I think it's generic, boring radio metal".(I don't give a shit if others like them, just don't push it on me)..it seemed to offend him for some reason and he started to yapping about me being a fake as lady, just wearing an old t-shirt to look edgy or what not.....most anoying.
Thr garage owner (after he walked away for a little moment to luagh his ass off) that know me quite well and know where I come from, firmly told the guy to back off.
I hate people trying to push things on me and specially the type that get offended when you don't share theire oppinion ä.
That's pretty fucked up, he was asking you what your favourite album is from the band HE! had on his shirt? Not yours?
You're not the one repping it.. So if you don't show interest in it then it makes sense.
What he should have asked is what your favourite Bathory album is.. You know.. Because that's the shirt you're wearing!! Not fuking Ghost. You didn't even say that you don't know who Ghost is.. You clearly stated a valid opinion of them which from that he should have noticed that you are aware of them but you just don't care for them.. But he looked past that and got pissy just because you have a different opinion. Sad.
I enjoy Bathory and Ghost btw.
I like to wear metal shirts too, but I never try to quiz people on what bands they're repping or whatever.. It's just childish, gate keeping elitism.
Especially in the way that guy did to you, makes no sense at all.
I think the biggest problem people need to realize is the fact that other people have their own individual thoughts they don't have to like the same stuff that you like they can be completely different and still like the same kind of things but don't push things on other people let them make that decision themselves. Great message by the way I really enjoyed this video keep up the good work!
Holy shit i get that so much haha
Like people harassing you about certain bands i should listen to when i don't care about the band. It pisses me off so much now.
Another thing that needs to stop is all the hatred towards people who like Metal/Death Core,Hardcore, Rap Metal and Nu Metal and calling them “Posers” because they don’t listen to the same type of Metal or “True Metal” as the elitist call it. Things like that alienate newer fans and by not allowing them to like what they like and grow in to bigger fans you instead chases them away from Metal all together and leaves a negative impression on them.

Most of the metalheads hate the ones who listen to pop, rap etc. but they ignore the fact that everyone have their own music taste. You can hate pop but don't hate the people who listen to it.
Kill'Em All!!!
Metalheads in a nutshell. 😂
Most "keyboard metalheads", all real metalheads I've met are normal ppl
Story I don’t like pop music but I don’t judge a person on their music tasted and judge them more on their personality. I did meat a few toxic people who listen to pop though... it wasn’t a good experience.
Every pop person I've met talks shit about metal no respect
Music is so personal so I also hate someone trying to push their music on me. Nope.
Fans often destroy for their beloved bands. It's a thin distinction between being enthusiastic and being zealous.
Am I the only one, who thinks County Music Werewolf would be really funny?
Maybe as a next year's April Fool video.
or extreme metal pushers, if you dont listen to alot of death or black metal they will push it on you.
So elitists?
Ugh I hate when people call others posers or criticize them just because they might not be into death metal . I like some heavy metal but for the most part I'm not a death metal person I do think that heavy metal does tend to get a bad reputation.
I adore black metal but not a humongous fan of death metal. I do like it quite a bit but it's just nowhere near as interesting as black metal, grindcore, doom, funeral doom or others.. Out of all the "extreme" metal genres Death is just the least interesting, least memorable one of them for me.
Great video sir. So you want me to send you the new Baby Metal on CD or Limited Vinyl? LOL
LoL.. would you like to give Deepest purple a listen?

I use to push metal onto a friend in middle school. He liked Slipknot, so I started pushing death, thrash, and grindcore onto him. He didn't like it, but years later we started meeting up again, and he was into all the same stuff as me. During that time, I was also getting into old school hardcore and old school metalcore to switch my tastes up. Nowadays I'm more into all types of punk music (punk is just as various as metal, if not more, honestly) and punk helped me bridge back to my grunge days as a kid before metal, and now I'm able to appreciate more music than ever. But anyway, I started pushing hardcore and metalcore (and of course my jazz, rock fusion punk albums by Minutemen) onto my friend more recently. He grew to like Minutemen, because they're not metal, not exactly punk, but something totally different. Other than that, when ever I bring up hardcore or metalcore, he's not interested. I get it, but with some bands I've shown him that are basically metal to begin with, I've come to the conclusion that my friend probably just hates the hardcore/metalcore label that most metalheads hate without giving some of it a chance.
I’m a very diverse guy who loves listening to multiple genres and other sorts of entertainment that most people like. I’m glad that I know how to get into a conversation with a person base on their character and interests, so that it would be an interesting conversation somewhat.
I dont push metal all the time
But when i do
I succeed
Two of my friends who HATED heavy metal and laughed at me for liking it are metalheads now because i can be very persuesive about it
Persuasion skills are hard to learn though

A lot of it really comes down to maturity. I used to be VERY opinionated that I was always right and pushed my opinions on others but now that I've grown up more, a lot of that really doesn't seem to matter. I now realise that everyone has their own opinions and interests and we are all created differently. I am both a metalhead and a huge Marvel fan ironically, haha. Metal and Marvel have always been two of my biggest passions and I love talking about them. My wife is not a metalhead like myself, but she understands that it's something I enjoy and she supports it. She even has grown to tolerate some Extreme metal in the car during road trips because I haven't forced it on her. Being respectful and not a jerk can really go a long way believe it or not.
Within the metal community there is this frequent thing where people believe you ought to love certain bands and/or worship certain albums or "you don't belong here." You can't have just listened to the albums in question and found them just not to your liking but still harbor great respect for what they are and their place in the history of the music. You have to HAVE TO like it, worship it. By doing this, they steer people away from the albums/bands that they are endlessly venerating, through no fault of the bands themselves.
That shirt is so damn metal
Protect yourself and your metal brothers. Make them understand that most of the stereotypes are false, prove them wrong!
4:21 I died at that moment! On another note, I'm definitely guilty of being a "metal pusher".
In my opinion Heavy Metal is a calling. It’s something you either like right away or do not. I only show it to someone once and if they’re not into it that’s when the conversation stops.
Even though most of us ( i know I definitely am) have been guilty of being a pusher, especially being young & recently discovering a certain metal band or genre. Your video had hit the nail on the head. Even though I’ll continue to refer bands or promote my band to people, if people respond positive comments then I’ll continue if they don’t react or give negative comments then ok I’ll stop. Good video.
I,am guitarded, my conversation always gets around to guitars somehow, so I try to remember not everyone is interested in guitars . Good point Blackmetal Werewolf.
Completely agree. My sister is completely into kpop and used to push it into my face a LOT. That's why I refuse to be a "pusher". We've gotten along fine and we recommend each other songs that we like even though it's not really our style. I think that it's nice to take interest in other people's interests. It validates them and they associate you more positively, too. So even though I don't know marvel much, I checked endgame out because everyone was so into it. Also I don't really care about football but my brother does, so I follow it. There's a difference between coworker and family and friends obviously, but it makes people happy to talk about their own interests and you just need to take a little bit of time out to follow the latest news. So I agree, don't push your opinion onto others, but also take others' opinions seriously and listen to their interests.
I like your approach. I'm kinda like that as well
I think it’s so cool that you do all your videos in front of a pair of Iron Maiden posters. And I love the King Diamond artwork in the mix. I try not to be pushy towards anyone about anything, but I’m human and I slip up from time to time. I’m clearly interested in your channel, but I’m still learning about black metal as it is known. I like a handful of proto black metal artists.
this is funny cause I told my old friends about how Im into metal a while ago and they expressed how they hated it, a year or two ago they started actually liking the stuff (despite they only listen to Nu-metal lol) its just funny how they were actually able find a part of metal they enjoy after so long.
It's like with WWE, overpushing wresters or pushing a wrestler the fans don't want at all. Examples: Charlotte Flair, Roman Reigns, Jinder Mahal, etc. Nobody wants someone or something shoved down their throats if they don't want it.
Totally different thing. Still waiting for Jinder vs Brock
Like fucking Brock Winning mitb
This is a great topic. I used yo be sort of a pusher. Not just in metal but in everything. I just get extremely passionate about things i love. But since I've had some self-reflection to do and i am trying to do my best not to be thst way. Now i just try one or two times to get someone to like something i like and then i leave it to them
I've met at least a couple of metalheads trying to push me out of Metallica
"but they're sell outs"
"but they're not the same band anymore since Justice"
So? Metal's just fine and still chugging along nicely. They're the band that got me into metal, but they're not the only ones I listen to either..
Btw great vid and good to find another metal channel! Subbed!
I think I might have pushed a little on my rapper friend who likes some metal.
He's open minded, but he only liked one song I shared. Witchfynde's "Give em hell".
So I'll take the hint, thanks for this brutal video.
That's pretty particular for someone who is into rap music, since .Witchfynde is more of an acquired taste, even in the metal community.. Not trying to "push", but if it's the riffing that did the trick I'm pretty sure he would like "Death Or Glory" and "Stronger Than Evil" by Heavy Load. Still not pushing, no sir. Hahaha :D
Songs with groove or a rhythm that's catchy, usually get the attention of people into genres like that.
Yes I had metal heads try pushing the nu metal on to me, like Korn, rage against the machine, etc bands that I don't care about.
I think I'm guilty about this one. My crush likes BMTH, AA, PTV which I don't like. I told her it's not my thing, it's too mainstream and I said "it's not really metal" unlike the oldschool thrash, death, and black metal genres. Poor me. Hehe lesson learned not to be too honest/bold into a conversation.
i would just tell her "you want to hear something heavier?"
There's no such a thing as "too honest/bold"
@@elpeluca7780 there is if you have even an ounce of politeness in your personality.
@@clownworldhereticmyron1018 you are getting it misconstrued. Honesty by no means rules out politeness (one of the stupidest things I've ever heard, no 🧢).

I’ve never met a single metal pusher in my entire life. I just get into every Metal band I like. Simple as that
I love the sharing aspect of this metal community on UA-cam. It's where I have been able to learn about some great new bands. However, I agree that pushing is never the way to go - whether someone is trying to push their favorite band or get you to hate a band.
this happened to me with an ex once who was _obsessed_ with Kpop, and constantly gushing about them and how attracted he was to them. We would switch listening to music on our bus commute with shared earbuds to share our music. I'd play good and classic Queen, and he'd play his stuff. I tried my best to just go along with it or whatever, I never said anything rude about it to him. But on the other hand, he fuckin hated my love for queen. The "worst" thing I even said was commenting on how Roger Taylor's 'prettiness' and he'd say immature shit like "then go love him instead." And in my head I'd just be like "uhh the fuck??".
But yeah. He had a lot of diagnosed mental issues and the relationship was shitty.
I know I'm several months late, but I like this video. You do got a point, just they like it doesn't mean they should push it to you to like it. I always wanted to try to listen to other metal bands but I was afraid of being judged of what music I listen to.
For me it was the Prog pushers; i just don't care about the genre
No surprise there. I actually love a lot of prog but hardcore prog fans are easily some of the most arrogant people that exist in the music fandom.
Celio19891 true, i only get “arrogant” about metal when people say metal is shit
Oh god, they're the fucking worst. They're like the Jazz snobs of the metal world, lol. And whenever I've mentioned that thrash is one of my favourite sub genres, they never miss a chance to mention how much more tEcHnICaL prog is, act all elitist and 'tfw too intelligent' as if I'm some uncultured pleb who is totally ignorant of music theory. They really shit me right off.
@@AnnaKraft97 WTF jazz snobs? Is America that retarded? Tastes are tastes indeed, but come on it's not about technicality at all. There are certain genres of music that are more intellectual and that's it. You don't read philosophy if you can't even understand Dr Seuss. But that's fine! There's music for everybody. You are free to listen to whatever you want, as long as you don't denigrate my own tastes. Maybe it would be better if we all listened to actual intellectual music but we don't, so hard cheese. What "jazz snobs" feel is frustration, because they can play and write everything - much like classical musicians - yet other people talk trash about them. Be it because of ignorance, be it because of envy or whatever reason you find. It's funny because at least in my country famous pop singers still have session and live musicians, and they're all jazz and classical players.
Also this whole "LmAo LeT mE lIsTeN tO wHaTeVeR i WaNt" makes sense if you already know what a person is talking about. If you're not even a bit, just a little little little bit curious BEFORE you get to know the matter of discussion, than you're just self centered and boring as fuck. Just my two cents.
@@Celio19891 lmao yeah especially Tool fans, I love Tool, but their fan base can get pretty cancerous, even more cancerous than those 13 year old edgy Slipknot fans.
I really love these videos. Awesome topic.
Let’s make fitness metal and brutal 🤘🏻
Check out "Iron Sharpens Iron" by Dyscarnate for some gym tunes :)
I'm very guilty of being a metal pusher I try not to be but I have a hard time fathoming that some people don't like metal I can see why so people don't like death metal but all metal that's crazy to me but I know some people don't and that's fine but I'm smart enough to not push woman into metal I get laid
Great video. I've felt the same way when it comes to friends that talk about anime and video games. The only time I've felt this way about music was when I had a friend who was really into black metal and tried to shove bands in my face. Granted I don't hate the music, but it's just not the kind of stuff I like to listen to. I don't have any recollection of any time I might have acted like this with things I like, but I hope I didn't piss anyone off as bad. I have Asperger's Syndrome, and one aspect of it is talking a lot about a particular thing you really like and you don't even realize that the person you're talking to might not be interested.
This reminds me of a video I have on my channel that I made last year called "How to Recommend Bands to People". One thing I talk about is another friend I have that spammed a bunch of page invites on Facebook for bands he likes, and I had to tell him to stop because that isn't gonna make me want to check the bands out.
I hate it when people push anything on me so I’ve never tried to push metal or anything into anyone because it’s annoying as shit I’m happy to talk about music with anyone but if someone’s not into it I’m happy to change the subject completely
Exactly! I hate pushers and I never ever push anything myself.
I’m somewhat of a metal pusher but only to those who try to push their music onto me mostly the ones who like pop,rap, country etc cause somehow they think they can get me into it so I push metal onto them eye for an eye thing lol
I'm also a cat person and I don't force people to like cats either. But it's fun to meet someone with similar tastes.
I was a metal pusher. I'll admit it. Ive changed. Sure my room is covered in posters and music equipment, but I don't push it on people. Especially when you want customers for your music tracks. I'll also admit, I do like some Michael Jackson, but that's kinda universal. When I get bored of metal, I listen to some rock and MJ. In conclusion, I have no clue where I was going with this. It's 3 am. Thank you.
Probably a lot of people have had a metal pusher phase, especially if they got into heavier music in their formative years. I know I had my "not like other girls" phase as a teen where I thought my music taste somehow made me superior.
The important thing is that we can acknowledge that and we're no longer like that. It's unfortunate when people don't grow out of that. Maybe you should say something to your friend...
As a metalhead I dont push it to anyone however I do ask them if they're interested in it and if they are i recommend bands/songs. I listen to a variety of genres so I'm pretty open to music not just one :)
@5:49 - ~7:45
You just described my exact experience with Dream Theater and their fans.
It worked with my neighbors, they love it so much now they throw bricks through my windows so they can hear it better
going to check out . Dragon Lord. stay Brutal Wolf \m/
im guilty of this too. acknowledgement is the first step to fixing it.
Man that Babymetal guy reminds me; Last Summer we had a bad ant problem in our house. At one point it became such a problem that they infested our PS4. So my boyfriend and I went to the store to buy some ant traps, and were discussing the problem with each other at the checkout line, where the cashier overheard us. And every single time since then, a year later, whenever I've had the same cashier at the store, he will without pause, ask if I have ants in my PS4 still (I don't).
Obviously not exactly metal related, but if you want to talk about pushers, holy shit. Which is worse, being known in town as the guy that had ants in his PS4, or being the guy that a year later has to keep asking about it?
In my friend group, I do it kind of as a little joke (since we are all like that), I act like the stereotype that I am this metalhead elitist, but they all know it's a joke. I maybe was like this when I was a kid (particularly with video games before I got into metal which I regret that attitude), however when it comes to the subject of music my taste is luckily diverse enough where I don't listen to just metal.
so if one friend wants to talk about alternative rock or progressive rock, I can talk about it in depth because I am into it as well. If it's punk rock in the case of another friend I can talk about is well since I am into punk rock. If it's singer-songwriters, I can talk about it as well since I am also into many artists of that type.
Admittedly with mass-appealing pop music of the last few decades or rap (which I am also getting into I know I know I will stand on trial for treason later) that's where I start to not really follow since that is not what I am into. Really through this long post the idea is try to expand yourself when it comes to topics of music, or other topics, not only for yourself (cause u never know u might find ur new favorite thing that isn't metal) but also to help in many different scenarios.
Everybody’s different right?
The majority of my friends don't listen to metal. And that's okay lol. I don't understand how some people can't be friends with people who have a different music taste. Whenever we gather for parties and stuff they all play the music they enjoy and that's fine. I couldn't imagine being at one of these parties complaining the whole time, ripping the music and making them put on Meshuggah instead. I'd just be an obnoxious asshole that wouldn't get invited out anymore.
Also, has anyone ever had the cool experience of showing metal to someone, and they're like super intrigued by it even though they don't necessarily like it at first? That's an interesting experience cause suddenly you're a fucking all knowing metal guru.
I have a friend who is extremely religious, who was hesitant to get into metal, but I got him started with the old school stuff and power metal and then he never stopped talking about it lol
I've never had friends who listen to metal unfortunately. But yeah I agree, I don't push my interests on others.
I might have been a metal pusher in my teens and early 20s but luckily I was too shy to talk to anyone. Luckily. Yeah. *sob* Anyway I think pushing your tastes is a teen thing. As you get older you should learn to honour people's own tastes.

Sweet! Thanks for the info!
I had a coworker who is into country big time and well of course I'm a metalhead as soon as she found out I hated country she just about flipped out and told me she was gonna make sure I liked country by the end of the month so she always played country and that actually made me hate it more lol
@Antonio Viera seriously I fucking hate it... I love all kinds of music just country is a no
That logic makes zero sense to me. Why the hell do some people think that making you endure more of something you already said you don’t like is somehow going to make you start liking it? Do they just assume that you haven’t ever actually watched/listened to it and just formed an opinion out of your ass?
@@Celio19891country fan logic it seems... that's how every country fan I've come across seems to be

@@davidismetal10 btw I don't think you like all kinds of music since you prolly don't know all kinds of music in the first place
Great video! I never really considered my self a "metal pusher" but have made recommendations in the past to people who are into the same music I am. Some people like it some people do not and although I do express disappointment when they dont dig what I recommend I let it go and move on. I have been on the receiving end when people try to push their "beliefs" onto me and It down right makes me feel uncomfortable so I can only assume its the same with music tastes. I remember 8 years back I met my current boyfriend who (at the time) was completely into thrash, power, & glam metal. I also love the same bands he does but as soon as i recommended black metal bands or even bands like Amon Amarth he gave me a "nah, i am good. I dont like that type of metal". He didn't even give it a try the douche, lol. I didn't push it then and to this day I dont push it. You'll be glad to know he made his way to Amon Amarth and Black Metal altogether a year ago lol on his own. I just left him alone and let him find his way to me.
Personally, I've grown up with metal and my younger brother likes hard rock and pop but ya know gotta deal with it, it's cool when he asks what the new band is on my battle jacket every now. When it comes to friends I'm just not a very social person so I have my two friends I've had for years and one likes pop one likes rock and soul and the pop one dresses "normal" I guess while the rock one will sometimes wear band tees but she basically looks like an e-boy and I look like a metalhead with the arm bracers, battle jacket and bullet belt so when we go to town together we get a lot of looks.
Agreed 100%
I've been a metal pusher for like a year. I had just learned about metal and was excited and stuff. And so I tried making my friends like it but the worst thing is that my friend is from these dudes that does like he enjoys everything you do like and enjoy so I acted the same way for a long time until a person I wanted to be friends with just tree me off. So that's my story of metal pushing... Hope I'd realize it sooner..
Ok so now we all must send you babymetal CDs then
I used to work with a guy like that not Metal but constantly pushing rock music (which i do like) movies, books, etc just mostly I wanted to check out in my own time but once he started it was literally EVERY single fucking day he’s go on about it & I couldn’t avoid it at the time i was in a small open planned office, apparently he knew what everyone should like ugh, other than that he was nice enough, somethings he did suggest i did like but other times i just weren’t into it & he almost seemed like he got mad when I didn’t like something else he suggested. There was another great guy we liked same classic rock bands like zeppelin, deep purple etc but he kept pushing more & more obscure bands which some i found not my taste, but in his words he wanted to get me to listen to better stuff than “that metal shit”
My worst experience was with this poser I went to school with in the 80's. He claimed to be a headbanger but he liked all the lightweight commercial shit like Night Ranger and Van Halen and didn't like the thrash stuff I was into and we butted heads over that. His favorite band was KISS and every time he'd over hear me and my friends talking Metal, he'd butt in that KISS blew all the bands we liked away. He would talk about all the awards and record sales KiSS had that the bands we liked didn't have. He would push KISS on everyone. He would l always try and bring KISS into every conversation and we'd get sick of it. When we'd tell him to shut up about KISS he'd blow his top and want to fight. If anyone didn't agree KISS was #1, he'd challenge that person to a fist fight or physically threaten anyone that didn't see things his way. I eventually cut him out of my life.
Dragonlord rules! I also love Eric Peterson’s work with Testament 🤘🏼
I don't remember ever being a metal pusher, but I was anti-everything that wasn't Metal when I was 14-17.
Now though, at 25, I listen mainly to metal, but also anything that I find that I enjoy, but I can't stand rap/hiphop/rnb and that stuff, but I don't care if others like it. It's for them, not me.
At 7:21 that’s how I feel about a lot of mainstream artists, they’re always being pushed on everyone so I tend to not like them, pop artists mostly.
I never realize how much I do that even about basic things as well. Its a habit I need to break. Been working on it.
I had this friend whom I got along with at first because she was also a woman that was into metal. But eventually she just started shitting on my music taste whenever the topic came up. I would buy a an album of a band she doesn't like and it's just "why would you do that? It's stupid its a waste of money bla bla bla" needless to say we aren't friends anymore.
Rockfeed needs to see these video.
Thank god there more people out there that have the avengers movies
haven't really had this problem with music, but a couple of my friends did this to me with an anime a while back. I watched a few episodes of it, it wasn't my thing, but they just kept on telling me in detail about all these characters and plot points and trying to get me to watch more of it. like.... I tried, I'm just not into it, I'm sorry 🤷🏻♀️
I never push anything. I merely try to share if somebody has similar tastes, but if they don't seem interested, I leave it alone.
Does saying that rap music is fake and garbage but metal is real an actual art count as being a metal pusher?
Did this to my friend who only likes nu metal
That is okay. nu metal is trash. They deserve it
Nigel hahahaha
Ew Slapknuts. No bro let's listen to some Destroyer 666
I will always tell my Metalhead friends about a new band I’ve recently discovered, like “Hey, guys, I just heard (album) by (band), and they’re incredible!” Or “If you like (sub-genre), go check them out!” Give a positive opinion to encourage your friends, but it’s like what you said. Hassling somebody is the quickest way to guarantee that that person is gonna resent you. I usually only snark or bitch about bands with people I know who also can’t stand those bands.
the marvel movies are the only ones that i have seen in theaters in forever so I can barely process someone not liking them 😂
They're so fucking good in theaters tho.
I only talk about what I like when it's part of a relevant conversation unless I know the person has similar tastes.
cool tshirt 😍
i am a "i swear on my grave that the type of music i listen to is the best thing in the world" type of guy. but than again, i would never really impose my taste in music on anyone(by playing it publicly or anything).
I send my wife videos from time to time. But that's because she has eclectic tastes. She even surprised me by mentioning she has Amon Amarth on her playlist at work.
Not sure if the baby metal dude exist's but I think you made your point. lol
From what I've seen black metal heads tend to be more pushy to other metal heads a close second is thrash metal being pushy i like both genres but when you're pushing it on someone it just makes them not want to listen to it more and more every time you tell them about it
I've met a few people who are very pushy with music fortunately i like just about everything so it tends to work out.
Bruh just got a new sub fan of your wristguards where did you get em, also your from brantford?

Also recommend checking out the album feast by alterbeast amd any albums by either conducting from the grave battlesoul or shadow of the colossus
Also it's annoying when people say "you can't like metal" or thry say "if you like metal you can't like *insert mainstream metal band here* "
This is great. Definitely something I've encountered a lot, the best story is I used to work with this guy for 3 years who had severe autism and he would only talk about slayer and metallica, everyday all day he would talk about slayer and yell lyrics etc. The same 5 things about slayer the same lyric excerpts. Obviously everyone hated him and I just felt really bad for him but I still can't listen to slayer because of him
I don't push Metal on family members who listens to classical
Music...
I always say " It's something you wouldn't listen to ."
As far as " baby metal" goes : I describes them as a J pop girl group who was backed up by a metal band....plus there was a major language barrier. ( I don't speak Japanese)
Andreia Reminiec I’m the same way only I like a lot of what they listen to as well lol My Mom is the pop and modern country person and my Dad is the old-School country guy.
I go to a highschool with absolutely no metalheads. There is about 2 thousand kids there. Majority is African American. People have insulted my music taste constantly and try to tell me how their taste are better. I decided to stop pushing my interest in metal to people who clearly hate it. When I find another metalhead I just have a little small talk about a kick-ass album or new releases and metal news.
Those "End Game" pushers...
It's like this one customer at my job and he likes talking to me about classic cars (I like looking at classic cars, but I don't want to hear every single detail about the vehicle itself). I totally agree with this topic, though sometimes it's hard to do..including if the person that your working with doesn't say or do anything to send the message across to you that don't want to partake in whatever conversation you are talking about
My friends may think I'm a pusher, but I'm really not. I try to introduce them into it, and I try to show them that the stereotypes they believe aren't real. I don't actually force them to get into it, though.
Remember if you want to get laid. You got give something up. Remember that guys.
But that intro tho
Good advice
