Hello, everyone! Antonia here, and I had a سروے on which سب, سب سے اوپر ten فہرست my شائقین would like to see most. This was the winner, so I'm doing it. Don't worry. I'll do the other choices at some point. Before I begin, I will say that I love being a rock موسیقی fan, but it's not easy to be one sometimes. Let's get started, shall we?
1. People assume you're depressed, especially if آپ listen to grunge یا heavy metal.
I don't listen to heavy metal that much, but I do listen to grunge quite a bit. One of my schoolmates actually blamed my self-harm on the fact that I listen to grunge. I told her that I did it to cope with being bullied and that موسیقی had nothing to do with it.
2. People mistake آپ as a Satanist.
I am agnostic, got it?! I believe in God, but I don't really follow a religion, okay? I don't mean to sound hateful, but I cannot tell آپ how many times people thought I worshiped Satan.
3. People expect آپ to wear the band's/artist's t-shirts یا own their merchandise. Otherwise, you're not a "true fan".
There was once when I کہا to a schoolmate that I liked Motorhead. He said, "Yeah, right. آپ don't even own any of their merchandise. آپ can't be a true fan." I said, "I haven't found any merchandise close to where I live." He said, "I bet آپ can't even name one song." I said, "Yes I can. 'Ace of Spades'! There آپ go!"
4. Putting up with people telling آپ that your پسندیدہ bands shouldn't be a thing anymore.
I was once told, "It's not 1980. Those bands shouldn't be a thing anymore." I told the bullies, "First of all, I don't give a shit what سال it is. Second, most of these bands formed BEFORE 1980. Finally, if آپ think you're going to get me to stop listening to them, آپ can kiss my ass!"
5. People flip out if آپ listen to anything other than rock.
There was once when I listened to a CD سے طرف کی the Oak Ridge Boys, and I thought my grandfather was going to have a stroke. I told him, "Just because I listen to rock موسیقی doesn't mean I hate all other genres."
6. People will often try to convert آپ to a genre of موسیقی آپ hate.
I'd rather not talk about the time someone tried to convert me to Gospel موسیقی here. If آپ want to know about it, send me a personal message.
7. You're surrounded سے طرف کی people who listen to terrible pop music.
There was once when there were some girls listening to pop موسیقی during study hall. I handed one of my textbooks to RocknRollSoul60 (Paul) and told him, "Please hit me in the head as hard as آپ can." Of course, he refused, so I hit myself instead. It gave me a good excuse to leave the room. Don't worry. I didn't hurt myself too badly that time, but I admit that I shouldn't have done that.
8. Sometimes it's hard to find merchandise for your پسندیدہ bands/artists.
It's especially hard to find anything Beatles.
9. آپ get a tune stuck in your head, and آپ can't remember what song it's from یا the lyrics.
There was once when I started humming a tune, and I کہا to myself, "What is that song?" I then asked my uncle, because he knows the obscure songs from the classic rock era. He told me that it was "Bell Bottom Blues".
10. I think this one is true for گٹار players. آپ try to master a song that sounds simple when you're listening to it, but in reality, it's hard to play.
This is true for Beatles songs. They sound simple, but they are really hard to play. The hardest one for me was "Paperback Writer". It took me four years to learn it. FOUR YEARS!

Some time later, Una and Everett were settled in a cozy small cafe eating sandwiches and sipping کدو, لوکی spice lattes while foil cutouts of cute ghosts and pumpkins hung from the walls around them.
"Thanks again, Una," Everett کہا after a time. "I just... I don't like small spaces very much."
Una smiled at him and reached across the میز, جدول to touch his hand. "Hey, آپ saved my life once. It's time I saved yours."
They sat in a comfortable silence for a bit, enjoying this much calmer stage of their Halloween celebrations. Una was first to break it.
"I can't believe we solved a real mystery! I can't wait to go ہوم and tell Mother what the secret of the haunted house is."
"Yes," Everett smiled at her. "The secret is my talented actress and her ghost impression."
Una beamed.

"What lead آپ to the club where آپ first saw us, Henry?" Les asked. Henry replied, "One of my neighbors told me that a rock band called A Wave Tossed in the Ocean was going to perform at the club that had opened the گزشتہ week. I thought that the name sounded interesting, so I asked him what kind of rock music, and he said, 'I think it's stuff from the sixties and seventies.' I was eager to hear the songs from my youth. When I saw آپ perform, I knew آپ were the right fit. Of course, آپ know how we met backstage." Jimmy said, "And the rest is history." Everyone laughed. "Yes," Henry said. "The rest is history." Just then, Felix looked at his cellphone and said, "It's 10:00, guys." Henry said, "We better go to bed. We've got a big دن tomorrow." The boys all said, "Okay. Good night, Henry." Henry smiled and said, "Good night, boys. Pleasant dreams." With that, they retired to their beds for the night.
