Nah Im in the mood for some Otep

otep is not relevent to the hippy joke =)

[Rev.Reverence]

I'll make OTEP fit...watch in amazement...

..WHAT THE FUCK IS "OTEP"?

(edit to say,"asks the confused hippie")

So, after reading a few of these posts, I have gathered this:

You are not a poser so long as you dress the same way outside of CC as you do inside.

Well, then I am a huge poser. This "having a real job" thing has fucked me into the poser. I really can't dress the way I want to express myself at work as I do at CC... so by default I am a poser...

and I thought being metal was tough... you people are HARD FUCKING CORE

btw, bands with names like "theory", "EXTREME", "chaos", "HELL YEAH", "RAY STREET PARK", etc etc... suck ONLY because they have the GAYEST FUCKING BAND NAME EVER.... oh and because ALL.. and I mean ALLLLL new "rock" blows.

if I ever hear that fucking "alcohol and ass" song EVER again... I don't know what the fuck I will do... but I know it will be pretty terrible...

pretty FUCKING terrible.

Then I am also a poser. Weirdest thing. People don't trust you with multi-million dollar transactions when you have purple hair. They just don't. Even if it looks badass. Can you imagine such a thing?

I don't think you two are posers for that...that would be wrong..

I'll attempt to define poser here...

some one/thing that is in fact posing, that is to say, a pretender, a fake, a fraud a sham...

I have many 'normal' looking friends...some of them do not go to CC some do...

SOME HAVE GONE THERE FOR LONGER THAN I HAVE!

I wear dorky button-up shirts and khaki pants to work since I work around little kids. I too would be kicked out instantly if I went to work dressed like I was going to City Club.

Outside of work and City Club, I do wear black jeans, black shirts, Converse shoes or combat boots, etc., but rarely any make-up or dresses. I save all that shit for Saturday nights at CC.

*bump*

don't know if this is in keeping with the subject matter, but...a few months after CC opened, it was the site for the official U2 afterparty ( this was when they played Joe Louis Arena on the Unforgettable Fire tour). The line around the building was so huge that the band gave up on trying to get in!

[cptdeath]

posers make the world go round.

man, ya'll don't run shit up in this bitch.

they need to play some 3-6 mafia

gravitate towards evil. it's a place were evil goes to have fun. of course detroit.

were else would it be?

posers may be different, kahki's may be different, but evil resides within them, or els they would not be there to worship the night. you are them. you are the kahki's and the tourists and the goth ones, all the same.

and the article, it is to servive as we must. a mechanism of desperation to ensure survival of detroit and it's church of night

P.S. I kicked bishops ass in tecken tag

Shoot i guess i am a poser too :( *sigh* wait i do have awesome purple hair...

Aww i do so love Otep though :/ not sure where that puts me..eh....

and to me its not about how you dress...it is about your opinions and personality and point of views not anything about how you dress at all...its a mind set....

[TitsMcGee]

I'm apparently a poser because I wear jeans and tshirts unless I go to city, where then I actually put on make up and dress pretty.

I'd rather be comfy than pretty thank you very much.

For sure I even had to know people just to work security for those shows. Now they have crappy dj's, musles walking around in tight clothes selling puney shots not worth the time it takes to throw them back. new paintings and new couches. they even got ride of the arcade...WTF

Going mainstream?????

Sweetie, CC has not been "underground" for a long while now.....

That is why I rarely go now, it has been over publicized by things like that recent zombie thing and these so called fetish balls.....

Shit, even fetish shows have become mainstream, it used to be that you had to know somebody to be involved in that scene.....

It's crappy.....

I need to get out of this city, I have become a little bitter.....

[ZhukovCodeslinger]

Im kinda disappointed even though I just started going to city I like the thought of people who have things in common that are considered uncommon have a place to hang out. I heard of city through two of my friends. I searched high and low for industrial clubs and I came across city by pure accident. I am very happy I did but I dont want to start coming to city and there are a bunch of fucking tourist and posers there it would make city feel so fake to me. The title of the article is stupid. It should have said "Come If You Dare".

You should not worry about "tourists" coming to city club... you hope that a large number of them come.

Speaking from experience (15+ years of city club), 99% of all city club goers start out as "tourists"... the come, like it and then slowly (or not so slowly) morph into nice little gothlings.

City Clubs biggest problem over the last 8 years or so, is that they are getting fewer and fewer new "regulars".... its hard to attract a large number of potential new regulars when all of the tourists who come tell everyone they know that city club:

1. sucks.

2. has no working bath rooms.

3. has no working music.

its a downward spiral (hahhah I had to make another song reference like "come as you are") of less and less people going.

Take me for instance, I quit going (along with most of my friends) when I (we) grew up and had other things that became more important to us (and by grew up I mean assumed adult responsibilities that prevent me (us) from being 24/7 goth/rivet heads).

when we all started leaving in the early 2000s, there were fewer replacements... this led to less money for the club which led to lower levels of upkeep on the bathrooms and sound system.

To combat this, they have tried to play it off as "going out of business sheak".

to to recap:

1. pray for lots of people coming in through the doors... the more posers the better since they are more likely to become goth to be cool and accepted than someone who has a strong sense of self and identity.

2. beg people to come to cityclub especially if they are not goth... its silly to just invite people you know are coming anyway.
