Living at the beach, I guess I kinda just live on a punk scene. Lots of local bands, concerts all the time, maybe it's in the water.

i started out on the radio, thenn got into metal through metallica in grade six. i became a metal head up until about yr 9 when i heard refused. all my friends were into emo and stuff at that stage-rufio midtown and the like. i liked all their bands except the ataris. i got so much crap for that, but they were so old and still singing about being dumped by their girlfriends. the singer was married and had a kid! i called them posers. so i got into hardcore via refused and i am still in love with that band. at the drive in was also a large influence of mine and i follwed them into sparta and now the mars volta. i have a huge photo on my wall of me and grasping venegrez's hand and screaming at each other while he is on top of the gate. my friend got the best shot of it, and i blew it up. i love it. ahhh what else? the very first time i herad thursdays waiting i went out and bought it. they have to be the one of biggest influences on me. but now i listen to hardcore, sccreamo, emo-limited. i am now awaiting anxiously for coheed to come to australia. iv heard rumours, but does anyone know the truth?
i also live on the beach. if anybody knows melbourne, im opposite geelong, but there is quite a healthy punk scene down here

hm.. i know this is an old thread.. but i was just looking through them.. and felt like saying mine haha.. um..... well around 6th grade i started getting into poppy stuff , and where i live it's like everyone is into rap and stuff and i never really liked that stuff like the style.. people just got on my nerves. but i was really into pop like Christina Aguilera (still LOVE her) and britney spears. and my older bro was into like old blink 182 and midtown so i started liking them. but i remember listening to the ataris "San Dimas HS footbal rules" and like i completely fell in love w/ them. then i just started making more friends that were into it.. and my brother started getting into hardcore and stuff so i started listening to emo/ screamo/ hardcore/ acoustic now. that was a few years ago.. so my gateway was the ataris. haha. i'm 16 now and still finding new bands haha so yeah

i listened to mostly silverchair, radiohead, and some metal bands like Tool untill i was about 13 or so when i got brought to a local show. it featured a local band named Drunken Orgies of Destruction, which was a trashy grind band with songs about 30 seconds long. i loved it and for a while listened to grind and trash and some metal-core bands. Then i started my first band when i was 14 and listened to alot of metalcore and older emo and what people would call emo violence. that band fell apart after about 2 years and during that time i really got into fast paced spazzy emo and started some new projects in that vein.

My mum bought me up on a diet of Motorhead, Led Zeppelin and Iron Maiden vinyls. From there, having an older brother with an interest in more mellow, "indie" bands, got me interested in the likes of Jeff Buckley and Radiohead, and then, when I was about 14, I met my first girlfriend, who was a massive Nine Inch Nails, Tool, Soundgarden and Alice in Chains fan, and since then I've been trying to find as much music as possible, and trying to enjoy music of all different kinds from all different types of people, not caring who they are, how many records they sell, what clothes they wear, or what brand of beer they drink.

I started listening to rap when I was in grade school and they by highschool my new friend introduced me to Guns N' Roses. After G n' R, I got into Metallica and then was in metal phase for awhile. Then Nirvana hit the scene, and I got into grunge. Then Kurt died and I got into '90s punk like Green Day, Rancid and Offspring. Then in '94 Korn hit the scene and I was into the rap/nu metal for awhile. Now, I mostly listen to many genres like: metal, hardcore, grindcore, punk, nu metal and some death metal. Now, I'm more open-minded to different styles of music. I however, don't like the newer breed of pop punk.
I haven't really listened to any emo, so I really can't say that I like or it hate.

I've always had a knack for the punk/rock/alternative scene ever since my diaper days, since I was raised by and around mostly guys. After my father had left us, I had to move in with my uncle who was like 23 and he introduced me to the Sex pistols and Misfits when I was like 5 and ever since then I was hooked. When I was 7 or 8 I moved to Germany and thats when I got into more of the techno/drum and bass scene and I started mixing.(I still do)One day I was listening to a friends mix and he had mixed a MEST song into it and thats when I got into the punk pop scene. When I moved back to America I was 11 I started learning drums and bass

and I started listening to GC and blink and so on. Then I was introduced to Coheed and Taking back sunday and Switchfoot and Dashboard Confessional. Even now I go back to my old diaper/toddler days and jam in my underwear to GC, just to make myself feel better when I think people actually do that and think it's cool.
