I’m not sure what my favorite part of this is. I can’t decide if it’s funnier that he’s just now discovering crabcore, or that he spelled it “crab core metal core”. Does he refer to his band as a “grind core” band? Is “this song will make your anus bleed” just another way of saying “this song will make your butt hurt”? Just wait for the reaction we get when his nephew shows him this newfangled “crunkcore”.
I theenk hee shoo tly speshull fly-lice, eet deerishuss, then brush his gay beard & braid his ponytail.
That is my go-to for chinese-IMN’s btw.
I like gridlink but this made me sad and not really wanna listen to them. kinda like when you find out some band members you like are racist or homophobes or whatever. this obvs isn’t as bad as that but still kinda ruined it for me for some reason :/
also, country fucking rules. the “deeper/more obscure/whatever” country artists have some great songwriting and playing, and radio country is fun as hell to sing along with while driving around. really don’t get all the hate for country music.
“Something different that I haven’t taken the time to listen to thoroughly? ALL OF IT MUST BE GARBAGE.”
Of he just dosent like country music…
that’s not funny
i mean if he didn’t like country i really don’t care but to say he hates it so much is what doesn’t make sense to me. it’s a style of music, it’s really not worth hating for any reason.
Yeah its pretty stupid that he seems to care that much, theres too much music out there to like it all tho. His crazy ramblings seem to indicate he’s very stuck in his ways though.

i know right, like when a band is br00dL as fuck and then you see a video of them and everytime you listen to them all you can see is the lameness.
kinda like when i saw a video from Maroon. i thought they were hectic until i saw them looking awkward as fuck
Wow my op was really shittily written. sorry bout that. lack of sleep and all that.
dude. those comments on their fb. the anus trauma is beyond thunderdome.
+1 to Austin for putting gramps to sleep within seconds of his old buttache from the war firing up again.
That would be me.
This is NOTHING! The other day, I saw this heavy metal band with band members who were wearing masks and jumpsuits! I mean, what the hell, kids these days are turning music into a fashion show!
+1
WTF! The next thing you know rock bands are going to start rapping and they’ll have a machine that makes people sing in tune!
Inb4 aging losers that were on Speed Metal bands and never bothered to make friends go to one of those homes for the oldies and they insist on watching VHS of shit. There, they watch recorded episodes of MTV and they begin to complain about that “damn new fggts ruining metal” and writing posts about how much Poison sucks.
Jon Chang (of Gridlink and more importantly Discordance Axis) is a legendary for this kind of thing.
Unfortunately he gets upset quite easily and posts embarrassing/reactionary screeds against all kinds of things.
Just wish he could b a chill bro.
Good luck with your getting jon chang to be socially functional goals for 2012
It’s a difficult task, I doubt I am lovely and good enough, I doubt I have the ability.
jon chang doesnt deserve u bleh! u could do so much better than him! You DO have the ability no mater wat he say! U r good AND lovely! i luv u (as a friend 1st and 4most)!
Jon Chang is forever encased in The Armour Of Cranky +4, which can never be breached by conventional means. Bit of a bummer, but I still love his bands to death.
As much as I love the guy’s output and find his cranky web persona oddly endearing, I think there’d be a better chance of getting Coverkiller to like Asking Alexandria.
I too very much like his bands, just very disappointing when you read stuff like this:
“As for Scion, at least they’re not putting shit like “underground” and “extreme” all over their cookie cutter packaged bullshit products (yes I’m talking to you Relapse tool bags and every band on that label except Repulsion who get a past because they invented the genre). In case that wasn’t nasty enough, fuck Pig Destroyer and ANb. Both bands are over rated garbage wannabe shit. Not one person in either band has the first clue about writing extreme music. 1991 death metal called Pig Destroyer, and it called you fucking losers. Hah! Fucking quote that Internet.”
Yeah, he’s pretty notorious for never liking anything ever. My butt is also hurting a bit over that particular quote since i’m such a huge Scott Hull fanboi. Also, Scott Hull himself is a big DxAx fan, so it must be kinda disheartening to see one of your role models and inspiration insult you THAT bad. Guy just comes off as a total dick :/
That said, I still find his calling Napalm Death “Facepalm Death” pretty hilarious.
It’s especially funny cos band like Pig Destroyer are largely responsible for there still being any grindcore at all.
No no no… he’s doing it all wrong… you’re supposed to say “so-called grindcore bands like [insert band name here]”
Guy needs to take Butthurt and Elitism for Genre Legends 101, which I think is being taught by Fenriz from Darkthrone this trimester.
I dunno man… Fenriz has a pretty well-developed sense of humour and self-awareness. Not sure he’s got the proper credentials here..
Agree.
Less metal talk though.
From what I understand that dude’s more into punk rock nowadays, isn’t he?
Yes, specifically D-beat and crust. Genres that have even worse fans than metal haha
Fenriz DJs and puts out mixes of dance music. I don’t think he’s too worried about being tr00.
That’s enough with the metal talk, boys.
Metal Talk
Jon Chang is a huge faggot and he’s jelly as fuck.
Cheers bro, thanks 4 not limiting me!

I never noticed, mostly because everyone I know doesn’t know shit about treasure games. But now that you mention it, as they are relatively obscure gems that nerds obsess over, the comparison is quite apt.

Fucking. Nailed it.
Neon Genesis Evangelion has fuckin’ angst up the wazoo from what I’ve heard.
Can confirm this.
And so Austin Carlile manages to indirectly cause severe anushole discomfort to another IMN despite not even wanting to be associated anymore with the crabcore genre he pioneered.
damn bro… I hadn’t thought about it that way but now that you put it like that, i am impressed. This is literally the first time I have had any respect for Austin Carlile… i am confuse
I remember in your first podcast with teh Bigmanz where you discuss austin’s physical aesthetics and how his body resembles melted candle wax, lol.
“This guy isn’t aesthetic at all, why is he even in a band?”
that hurts, gridlink. you put a boot in my ass (feelings) it’s the american way.
Man this fellas butt must never have one minute of happiness in it’s whole existence
P sure he’s talking about the music video for IWABO’s See You In Shell. How can you even confuse it with Crab core metal core :-/ Its prog ressive scene grind!

if he thinks this is bad, wait until 2027 when he discovers slam!
This will sound naive, but honestly I thought my generation (which Chang is a member of) would be different. I thought that bands like DA who did stuff that was so wildly innovative and extreme were inherently openminded, and that we wouldn’t fall into the oldfaggotry trap like all the previous generations did. I thought there was no way that people who people who played such extreme music that was so different from what anyone else had done before could possibly be butthurt, conservative traditionalists like all the idiotic, dogmatic imbeciles in the older bands turned out to be!
Obviously, I could not have been more wrong and it honestly bums me out.
inb4 crabcore kids hating on new trends once they’re old
this will definitely happen, but it won’t bum me out, it will just be funny to me because I am too old to have ever taken them seriously in the first place.
In retrospect the saddest part of all this is realizing that the people in the bands I looked up to as a kid like DxA were exactly the same kind of self-absorbed, trendy faggots as Title Fight or Four Year Strong.
BUTTDEVASTATED
Aw man.. Now I’m srs sad because you’re right. Goddamnit.
Fear not D, there is no need 4 such buttdevastation.
Whilst Chang fully inhabits his role as butthurt dweller, David Witte (who drummed in DA, kids) has no problem wearing a bandana and drumming in beneath-his-talents partymosh paycheck bands.
In b4 cheers 4 the info.
did u see the link to my interview with dave on the right side of the site
Actually no, cos I’m obviously so old I can’t use a website properly.

Neat story.
Open-minded? Bullshit.
From another source, since it explains it well:
“From someone who should know better:
Especially in metal music, I find that a lot of people can be very closed-minded – Derrick Green @ Sepultura
Another term for closed-minded: having made a decision. Knowing what one likes. Clear and goal-oriented.
People like to use the “you’re just closed-minded” as a way to force you to like whatever it is they are doing.
The fact is that even an open minded becomes closed at some point, once it has made its decision.
Otherwise, it is capable of nothing and sits in perfect suspense, making no decisions — a rape target for miles around.
Derrick Green should know better. He should be, how shall we say, “open-minded” about this issue. ”
I don’t want to listen to your shitty music.
if its any consolation, Chang’s been a miserable parasitic fuck ever since that life-changing moment when he tripped over his shoelaces, spilled his ‘Appleseed’ VCR boots everywhere, then looked up from the floor of the “Metal” section of Reptilian Records and beheld the holy visage of the Agathocles/7 Min of Nausea split floating before him.
what i’m saying is, screaming like a bitch on fire, u still a bitch, bitch. “Stealing Seth’s Ideas: The New Book by John Chang”
screaming like a bitch on fire, u still a bitch, bitch
This nigga knows wassup
spilled his ‘Appleseed’ VCR boots everywhere
boom
This site goes on about “special snowflakes” to the point where it seems to encompass anyone that doesn’t strongly identify with some group/demographic/”sub-culture”. But why would anyone want to be accountable for the words or actions of anyone other than themselves or their immediate family? You can call me an IMN or a snowflake or whatever, but I’ll take that over trying to hold people to an ideal that no human being possibly could meet just because they’re roughly the same age as me or we grew up in the same area or they play music I like. I just don’t think that’s a level-headed way to look at the world.
lol @ non-conformists (srs)
lol @ people believing they’ll ever be better than their parents.
not sheriff u kno how 2 special snowflake
Jon Chang is a grade A asshole
I have never met him but I have never heard anything different from this in 20 years
brb reading “Old grandpa musician discovers [...]“
brb getting in a one-sided conversation about how there are only 3 good bands ever.
I think that Sarge nailed it with his earlier comment, but it even bums me out more cuz this guy is in stable, touring and somewhat succesful bands. Okay, regular kids and fans can be phaggots, but after some touring and meeting different people playing different genres, it takes a lot to still be whiny bastard.
Say what you will about Periphery, but I remember Misha Mansoor writing a pretty good article on MS about how not to be a dick when you’re in a band. Relevant to this thread.
Yeah not trying to be a phaggot or anything but it takes more to know someone then the genre of music they play or the band they play in. Misha and Jeremy Bolm from TA seemed to be chill dudes who just enjoy what they do without badmouthing others despite playing in bands that give IMN and troo Skramers raging boners.
From what I understand Daath is an IMN-approved band (idk I don’t really listen to them tbh) but Eyal Levi is one of the best dudes ever. Generally speaking you can and should judge books by their covers, but there are always exceptions to the rules!
Generally speaking you can and should judge books by their covers
THIS x a million
From some video somewhere in the SYWH forums: “Even if you ARE one in a million, there are still 7000 other people just like you. You are not special.”

A+ literal LOL
“Gridlinked” is a sci-fi novel by Neal Asher. Keep meaning to read it, since I’m a huge sucker for that sort of thing regardless.
i think you all suck. gridlink and discordance axis rule. if you think any genre that requires bands to have four guitarists two singers a screamer really shitty drummers and disclaimers before their songs just so you know that they really are as harsh as theyre trying with all their might to be, then you should stop listening to music. you obviously have been drowning in filth your entire life and cant even figure out whats real anymore. do yourselves a favor and stop bashing people for expressing their opinions on things that really do in fact suck. on their own bookface. are you 12? dont answer that. or reply to this. instead listen to some better music. you know, stuff that doesnt have to have the word core in its genre. or like, stuff that isnt made by dudes who think they are hardasses for playing music and making art. cause thats really what it is. its art and expression. ive never met an artist i couldnt beat the shit out of so yeah we are all pussies. i play music too. we all say and make dumb shit only a small audience likes. get over it and stop trying to seem so righteous in what youre doing. cause everything sucks. everything. we all die. god doesnt exist and so on and so forth.
Hi Jon!
> listens to grindcore
> hates music ‘with the word core in its genre’
IMN logic.
> listens to everything
> thinks you should too
whats the d in your name stand for? i bet i can guess..
“d” stands for “dude, are you lost?”
Your excessively negative opinion has been considered, and an attendant has been dispatched to assist in applying ointments to your posterior.

Bro, the only filth here is yours. The horrible filth of gay. praying 4 u :( (srs)
“Hey guys, guess who’s getting laid tonight!”-not this guy
I just saw the gayest guy on earth
Pretty sure this guy is “George colon” on FB, judging from this comment he left on a Gridlink post:
“i commented on this thread. i think i made some of them uncomfortable. they just called me butt hurt elitist like they do to everyone. so i asked them why they were so obsessed with sodomy.”
Golly, he sure showed us T_T

I was more into rap music during the mid 90s, after a while i felt that people listening to rap music where the most stuck up people ever, with their “this is real hip hop, this isn’t hip hop”. Years later, when i kind of got completely tired and bored of it, i found out that musicians (going to audio engineering classes at that point), regardless of what music they like, were the same stuck up idiots in different outfits. It’s like Streets of Rage where you fight the same five guys in different colours throughout the game.
POP CULTURE IS ALL PALETTE SWAPS AND CHEAP MINI-BOSSES WHO TAKE ALL YOUR QUARTERS :(
Myron how the topics of butthurt music nerds and video games are coinciding so fluidly in these comments.
I didn’t get it until he related it to Street of Rage!
yea same here!!! funny yet ironic shit
you all use the term butt hurt a lot. is this because you like sodomy?
Yes, obviously.
You are a faggot a lot did your dad hit you enough as a kid or did you throw yourself off your roof to get this stupid? plz respond
Fucking humor, how does it work?
its usually supposed to actually be funny and/or make sense. but your guyz’s version is cool too i guess
lol@: “Liking sodomy” being an insult in the year 2012.
YO DUDE, YOU TRYNA CALL ME GAY?
Sodomy by definition is “sex without the purpose of procreation” so of course we all enjoy it.
I for one enjoy making the sex quite a bit!
omg guyz dis is duh biggest insult evar. like in duh year 2012. can you sense my sarcastikz? what about wit deez caps on lock?
Burned. : (
Sodomy is pretty awesome, idk how that’s an insult brah.
fuck yea i would love to fuck a hot tranny and commit sodomy via them not getting preggos
you haven’t really lived if you haven’t given someone an anal creampie while on drugs yo!!!
x-D
yeah fuckin sex rulez!
I think this is still sarcasm, so this dude must be a unich? I’ve never met an elitist unich, but I guess it could happen.
Just relistened to Gridlink, realized that they kinda suck actually. Shit dude having 20 riffs in 17 seconds is cool i guess but it doesn’t make you a good or talented songwriter.
Normally I’d agree but Grindlink does it really well and does it in a way that’s really memorable and sorta hypnotic in a weird way. I’m talking about metal on SYWH now. :<
yeah dude it’s ok. I’ll make it up to you with this. Cool opinion but i just like PxDx and ANb more. :(
omg a post half about metal and the imn’s flock like vultures to the kill
rip SYWH
brb getting frumdk in sadness
>”frumdk”
I love you
They’ll be gone when they realize this is a once in a blue moon post and we don’t care about Opeth at all.
Not trying to be whiny or negative, but tbh the response this post has generated is why I am a firm proponent of only covering metal/grind that is either too retarded or too popular amongst the opposite sex (as a cis male) for IMNs to notice or comment upon. Trolling can be fun and lulzy, but I kinda prefer being able to lol at IMNs from a safe distance, rather than deal with the negative vibes of direct immediate IMN input. IE: Bring the butthurt to them and report back, rather then having them bring the butthurt over here.
this is an excellent way of putting it
Convincing argument there bro (100% srs). Was gonna say how lulzy these comments where but then again, it’s only funny ‘cuz it happens once every blue moon here. Can’t stand MS for more than 7 comments, so I don’t want SYWH to come close to that.
Yeah, I’m kinda sorta enjoying the butthurt I caused but at the same time am bummed that they’re infesting SYWH. :<
I didn’t see much butthurt in the comments here. Like one guy was buttdevastated, but for the most part it’s just laughing at oldfags/some of the metalnerds having a little bit of non butthurt talk about gridloink. Whatevs. I do want to know what band described their music as making your anus bleed.
I’m assuming that was written by Jon Chang. Motherfucker’s too busy making video games and working for the government to keep up with every awful trend.
All those bands are fake angst as fuck though.
I’d rather listen to a dude shrieking Neon Genesis quotes other than some annoying self righteous group of guys in their early 20s screaming some lyrics their label wrote that pre teens can relate to and make tumblr gifs of and 808s and auto tune out the ass. In all srsness have you ever met any of these Rise bands or the bands that follow in their footsteps? Biggest bunch of fart sniffing egotistical losers I’ve ever met.
You seemed to lumped everyone in a nice simple group so they’re way easier to judge. Strong time saving achievements.
“guys in their early 20s screaming some lyrics their label wrote that pre teens can relate to and make tumblr gifs of and 808s and auto tune out the ass”
where’s the problem here? idgi
I like gridlink, i’m a grindfag, i just kinda hide it from the outside world or make a joke of it via not wantong to be a loser sitting alone in my basement. But man, this is some sad shit. Things like this are the reason i don’t talk to any of the metalheads i used to be friends with. Shits just sad really.
i feel sad for chinese weeaboo’s, its like being a black person who only likes white power bands.
Excluding David Carradine, who in the modern word actually wishes they were chinese?
Sergeant D
BRO DONT JOKE ABOUT THESE THINGS U KNOW HOW I FEEL ABOUT THE CHINESE

The white bitch was a nice touch.
Setting aside the obvious ideological differences (via being a full-blooded member of the ZOG), I’ve never heard a white power band that I could enjoy for anything more than a laugh. That said, I think a write up about WP bands could be pretty hilarious, as that subculture has bread some of the most unintentionally hilarious music I’ve ever heard. Not sure if it’d actually be a good idea dough, given that it might give people a very bad idea about ‘what this website is rly about’.
I could do a pretty comprehensive post on WP “music”, prolly starting w’ Johnny Rebel etc. (1960′s), into David Allan Coe (70′s) then de-facto WP skinhead stuff, but as u said, butthurt could ensue…
I was thinking about doing a Pimp post as well but once again “some people” might not see the humor in sex-trafficking/slavery.
I say go for it. It will invoke hilarious sorcerer level butthurt comments the likes of which haven’t been seen since the stretched ears post. Plus I’d be genuinely interested in learning about lulzy WP bands that I haven’t heard yet.
Also thanks for the movie recommendation. I’m gonna go find it at the hipster video store downtown and be all “I watch this ironically” when in actuality I’d be getting off to black nazis whipping white women.
I would love to read a WP post! I am a huge Johnny Rebel fan and non-ironically like Rahowa’s non-WP lyrics (“Might Is Right” is my jam), but then there is the incredibly bizarre, lulzy world of stuff like Max Resist (nazi pop punk) and Grinded Nig…
Grinded
Nig

The butthurt caused by this butthurt is astounding.
We are through the looking glass, people.
Just google imaged Jon Chang.
Well, that explains everything.
Is GridLink any good? Never heard of them before. Based on their fanbase’ vocal opinions about stuff I enjoy, I’m not sure its for me. However, I’ll give it a shot; any recommendations where to start?
