My friends took a ton of shit from local metalheads for listening to the wrong music and dressing the wrong way. And because I was the most intrepid of our crew, I was the one who started fighting back.
There was a little altercation in a local football field. I didn”t start the fight, but I was about to finish it. I had some metalhead pinned down on the muddy ground and was pummeling his face when one of his associates crept up from behind and smashed my head with a steel beer-keg pump. In other words, he literally put the metal to my head. I needed stitches for that one. But at least I fought.
There was the day of my father’s funeral after the ceremonies were over and I was standing outside a Philadelphia train station with my friend Steve when someone from his high school walked by and called him a “punk-rock faggot.” I stepped up to the guy, we squared off, and after one punch his nose was bleeding. He scurried down into the subway station with his tail between his legs.
That’s how life works, you silly little vampire bats. Unless you fight back, you”re going to get bullied. All the chipmunk chatter you hear about “bullying” these days ignores that fundamental truth. If you do nothing but whine, you”re going to get bullied. Your whining is probably what started the bullying in the first place.
Even worse, if you”re always crying about being persecuted and endlessly running to the cops when you accidentally chip a fingernail, I find it hard not to wish that someone would bully you into shutting up, at least for a little while.
These eternally pouty modern so-called “Goths” are a shame upon the memory of the mighty Visigoths and Ostrogoths who smashed their way through Europe and scared the shit out of everything from field mice to blue whales. The ancient Goths would eat these fools alive easier than swallowing a mini-cupcake. And if they were able to chase down whoever originated the insane notion of a “hate crime,” they”d stick his head on a stake.
If the modern crybaby Goths don”t want to be bullied, I suggest they get back to their roots.
