I'm so fed up

of everybody asking me if i've heard of 3OH!3 or Hollywood Undead. Or if I've heard their new single, Don't Trust Me or Young.

Tbh, Don't Trust Me isn't a new single for me, nor Young. I have been listening to both bands for about 2 years now and it annoys me that people have to ask if i've heard their new song!

I owned the Hollywood Undead album Swan Songs way before it came out in the UK and even then I was waiting for about a year and half to get it. The same goes for 3OH!3 it just hasn't been released over here. I plan to get that too before it's released here.

So to round it up, yes I have heard Don't Trust Me and Young and any other Hollywood Undead or 3OH!3 song you care to throw my way thinking I haven't heard it. Stop asking me you foolish idiots.

It's not that I don't enjoy their success over here in the UK. I remember just last december asking people if they've heard of Hollywood Undead and they all replied with the same answer 'who?'. With HU being one of my favourite bands (losing out to the obvious, Lostprophets) there is nothing greater seeing a small band progress to the point that they can achieve the media's attention over here in the UK. Especially to the point another of my favourite bands, The Blackout, can take them on tour meaning I got the chance to see them live which yes, made my life. The same goes for 3OH!3. I couldn't be happier that they have both achieved success in the UK.

The thing that annoys me is that people love them now because they're becoming a big band, yet they didn't listen to me when I told them to check them out way before the scene. Just because a band isn't big doesn't mean they won't become it one day. Then they suddenly think this band is the greatest in the world. Well where were you when they needed the support? To spread the word about said band?

So now I'm scared to like a band incase they get ruined my teenyboppers over here in the UK. It's happened 3 times now, will it actually ever stop?

Stop asking me you fucking 5-minute fans. I HAVE listened to them. I HAVE been listening to them for a while now. I WILL carry on listening to them.
