American History ILX

This is the thread where we take quotes from American History X and change them to fit with rockism instead of nazism.

"I believe in chord progressions, writing your own music, real emotion and guitar solos"

"We're so hung up on this notion that we have some obligation to help rappers, you know. Cut them some slack until they can overcome ttheir musical inferiority. It's crap. I mean, Christ, 'Rapper's Delight' came out 25 years ago. How long does it take to get your act together?"

"Rockism is baggage. Life's too short to be pissed off about Lil' Jon and the East Side Boys all the time."

"D'you see this? [Pulls down shirt to reveal huge MC5 tattoo on his chest] This means, 'Not Welcome'".

Try some.

Go outside. Look at some trees. Inhale the odour of dew-laden grass.

Well Southall, I can't say I'm surprised, but I'd be lying if I said I wasn't just a little bit disappointed.

Dew-laden? How far did you put the clocks back Sicky?

I'm not. I'm lucky. I feel lucky because it's wrong, Danny. It's wrong and it was eating me up, it was going to kill me. And I kept asking myself all the time, how did I buy into this shit? It was because I was pissed off, and nothing I ever did ever took that feeling away. I wrote a feature about Wilco, Danny, I wrote a feature about WILCO. And it didn't make me feel any different. It just got me more lost and I'm tired of being pissed off, Danny. I'm just tired of it. Now let's hear "Toxic" again.

(amazingly, that one needed very little editing)

Janne Karlsson: I believe in death, destruction, chaos filth and greed.

[Danny walks in on Derek and Stacey listening to Neutral Milk Hotel]
Danny Vinyard : [whispering] Der. Derek.
Stacey : Jesus, Danny! You corny indie fuc!
Derek Vinyard : Jesus, Danny. What the fuck are you thinking? We're six minutes into "Oh Comely" and now you've ruined the mood. We'll have to start it again.
Danny Vinyard : There's a guy outside listening to Xtina Aguilera on his iPod.
Derek Vinyard : How many are there?
[Derek quickly turns off CD player and grabs the most recent copy of "Magnet" ]
Danny Vinyard : I don't know. I think one.
Derek Vinyard : Is he strapped?
Danny Vinyard : What?
Derek Vinyard : Sorry, I meant "Stripped". Is he listening to "Stripped"?
Danny Vinyard : I don't fuckin' know, man.
[Derek pulls out a Dismemberment Plan CD from his dresser drawer]
Stacey : Oh, my God Derek what are you doing? Nobody's listened to anything Travis Morrison's done in years!
Derek Vinyard : Not right now honey. I just want to hear a couple of songs. Then Danny and I will go teach that Xtina fan about *real* music.

Derek Vinyard : Every night, thousands of these parasitic pop singers that don't write their own songs stream across the Billboard charts some fuckin' pinata exploded.
[the rockists laugh]
Derek Vinyard : Don't laugh! There's nothin' funny goin' on here!
[the rockists immediately quiet down]

Danny Vinyard : [referring to Dr. Sweeney] He's one of those proud to be hip-hop guys, I hate those guys.
Cameron : Now wait a minute Danny, he's not proud, no he's a manipulative self-righteous Will Smith whose trying to make you feel guilty about writing about Steven Maklmus.

Seth : Who do you hate, Danny?
Danny Vinyard : I hate anyone that doesn't play in an indie guitar band.
Seth : Why?
Danny Vinyard : They're a burden to the advancement of rock and roll. Some of them are alright, I guess ... I mean, my gf played me some of the new Ma$e album the other day ...
Seth : None of 'em are fucking alright, Danny, OK? Ma$e should have never come back! Never!!!

Derek Vinyard : I'm gonna teach you a real lesson now motherfucker. Put your fuckin' mouth on the mic.
Ashlee : Come on man...
Derek Vinyard : Put it on the mic right now!
Danny Vinyard : Derek, no!
