Hello, everyone! Antonia here, and I had a 투표 on which 상단, 맨 위로 ten list my 팬 would like to see most. This was the winner, so I'm doing it. Don't worry. I'll do the other choices at some point. Before I begin, I will say that I 사랑 being a rock 음악 fan, but it's not easy to be one sometimes. Let's get started, shall we?

1. People assume you're depressed, especially if 당신 listen to grunge 또는 heavy metal.
I don't listen to heavy metal that much, but I do listen to grunge quite a bit. One of my schoolmates actually blamed my self-harm on the fact that I listen to grunge. I told her that I did it to cope with being bullied and that 음악 had nothing to do with it.

2. People mistake 당신 as a Satanist.
I am agnostic, got it?! I believe in God, but I don't really follow a religion, okay? I don't mean to sound hateful, but I cannot tell 당신 how many times people thought I worshiped Satan.

3. People expect 당신 to wear the band's/artist's t-shirts 또는 own their merchandise. Otherwise, you're not a "true fan".
There was once when I said to a schoolmate that I liked Motorhead. He said, "Yeah, right. 당신 don't even own any of their merchandise. 당신 can't be a true fan." I said, "I haven't found any merchandise close to where I live." He said, "I bet 당신 can't even name one song." I said, "Yes I can. 'Ace of Spades'! There 당신 go!"

4. Putting up with people telling 당신 that your 가장 좋아하는 bands shouldn't be a thing anymore.
I was once told, "It's not 1980. Those bands shouldn't be a thing anymore." I told the bullies, "First of all, I don't give a shit what 년 it is. Second, most of these bands formed BEFORE 1980. Finally, if 당신 think you're going to get me to stop listening to them, 당신 can 키스 my ass!"

5. People flip out if 당신 listen to anything other than rock.
There was once when I listened to a CD 의해 the Oak Ridge Boys, and I thought my grandfather was going to have a stroke. I told him, "Just because I listen to rock 음악 doesn't mean I hate all other genres."

6. People will often try to convert 당신 to a genre of 음악 당신 hate.
I'd rather not talk about the time someone tried to convert me to Gospel 음악 here. If 당신 want to know about it, send me a personal message.

7. You're surrounded 의해 people who listen to terrible pop music.
There was once when there were some girls listening to pop 음악 during study hall. I handed one of my textbooks to RocknRollSoul60 (Paul) and told him, "Please hit me in the head as hard as 당신 can." Of course, he refused, so I hit myself instead. It gave me a good excuse to leave the room. Don't worry. I didn't hurt myself too badly that time, but I admit that I shouldn't have done that.

8. Sometimes it's hard to find merchandise for your 가장 좋아하는 bands/artists.
It's especially hard to find anything Beatles.

9. 당신 get a tune stuck in your head, and 당신 can't remember what song it's from 또는 the lyrics.
There was once when I started humming a tune, and I said to myself, "What is that song?" I then asked my uncle, because he knows the obscure songs from the classic rock era. He told me that it was "Bell Bottom Blues".

10. I think this one is true for 기타 players. 당신 try to master a song that sounds simple when you're listening to it, but in reality, it's hard to play.
This is true for Beatles songs. They sound simple, but they are really hard to play. The hardest one for me was "Paperback Writer". It took me four years to learn it. FOUR YEARS!
