It was very annoying in junior high that your classmates started to identify themselves with the media they consumed. They were all normal in elementary. Where did those personalities go?
And not like they would leave you alone. “Oh your band has bad lifestyles, they go to clubs and badly behave. Mine are all good and caring.” Well, I listened to the music, I did not care at all for those people.
A few years later, turned out, both bands were in drug trafficking rings.
