Today, I was waiting for my wife in a mall when some kids came and sat near me, wearing band t-shirts. I recognized some, as I was into The Smiths and Black Flag in my youth. I tried to strike up a music-fan chat with them. "Fuck off, grandad" and "Ew, pedo" is all I got in return. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, while out shopping, I could hear what sounded like two grown men talking about me, and they were being pretty gross. I turned around to scold them and it turned out being a dad and his 13-year-old son. He said he was, "teaching a son to be a man", and that my ass was "grounds for discussion." FML
Today, I went to a park and sat down next to this older lady. Some kids started fighting and screaming at each other, so I leaned next to her and said, "Man, am I glad those aren't MY kids." She turned to me and said, "Yeah, they're mine." FML
Today. I realized my dad is a little bit too rock n roll when he got into a pushing and shoving match with a married couple, who was making comments about how my dad’s leather jacket and ripped jeans weren’t “appropriate.” To be fair, they started it, but this was a parent night at a high school. FML
Today, I was at the mall with my girlfriend's family. Her 7 year old brother told me he was feeling sad, so I tried to give him a pat on the back, but it turns out he had a bruise there. He yelled out "don't touch me there!" In the middle of the mall. Now her parents think I'm a pedophile. FML
Today, I got yelled at and called a pedo by a mother after I sat down in a swing next to her daughter. I was too embarrassed to tell her that I'm a 20 year old who really does enjoy swinging in my spare time. FML
Today, I went to the mall with my mom. We were in American Eagle shopping for spring clothes, when a few good looking guys walked by and whistled at me. I smiled at them. They were checking out my mom, not me. FML
Today, I walked past a group of men at the mall and one of them mooed at me. FML
Today, I saw a girl wearing a Nirvana shirt. Since Nirvana has been my favorite band for a long time, I tried striking up a conversation with her. Turns out she doesn't even listen to them, and only bought the shirt because she "liked the smiley face." FML
Today, I got bitched out by some lady in a Walmart because I looked at her funny while she was on the phone, loudly bragging about "slapping the shit out of" her kids. FML
Today, I went to see my favorite band in concert. When the show was over I got the chance to meet them. When I met the guitarist and told him my name, he recognized me. To my disappointment it was as the facebook creeper. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

I seriously doubt they knew the bands anyway. Like all the stoners with the Bob Marley shirts.

It's funny when I see scene kids wearing band shirts for Slayer, Iron Maiden, and any mentioned in comments above me. 9 times out of 10, I'll ask them to name 3 albums or most of the band members, and they can't even do that! Tis a shame they only wear a band shirt for looks instead of to support the bands they love

#46- I'm actually in the middle of listening to Hell Awaits right now. I'm currently on Praise of Death. So far it's beating out my favorite Slayer record, Show No Mercy. Now time to stop before I write a whole review...

0- Sid Wilson 1- Joey Jordison 2- Paul Grey 3- Chris Fehn 4- Jim Root 5- Craig Jones 6- Clown 7- Mick Thompson 8- Corey Taylor Plus, I'd like to mention Anders Colsefni, Slipknot's original singer. I don't care if I'm not being funny or if I get downvotes... this guy deserves more credit. He is very over-looked. Mate.Feed.Kill.Repeat was a great album and it's sad that most Slipknot fans don't know it. But then again, most of their fans only know the singles... sadly. Damn, this FML is pissing me off, but I keep coming back!

To be fair, there's a reason why I wear t-shirts from other bands than my top favorites. I only buy band t-shirts at gigs, and most of the gigs I go to are not the big expensive household names mentioned in this thread, but veterans like Stiff Little Fingers or local heroes like Bettie Serveert. You could call that being cheap. I call that supporting the musicians who need it most.

Black flag is one of the greatest punk bands.

Honestly, some kids are so rude. I love meeting people with the same music interest as me, OP.

They were probably just trying to be funny... Idiots. I'm so ashamed of my generation.

Those are just some punks. I'm 21 and if a nice older person tried to talk to me about music.. I'd be pumped. Because I'm not a punk.:) their loss, you probably know more then they do.

*looks at username* best keep your mouth shut when talking to kids these days... They don't care about your youth days... you should have yelled back at them... Seriously.

Your comment : The 'older generation' complaining about 'the younger generation' needs to remember who raised it.

I'm sorry for changing the subject, and I'm asking you in the most polite way possible, but why do you always start off your comments with "Your comment." I'm legitimately curious.
