I love rock. Love it.
This kitty is super cute.
That love has been with me for about the last five years and has sort of been my identity. The way I got into it, I have pondered because people have asked me. I have to really blame it on the first rock band that I listened to the entire album of, that is Fall Out Boy.

I wasn't always into music. I was one of those who was just, there, for lack of a better adjective. I would get asked who my favorite artist is and I would pick one out of the air that I had heard of, this was often, Britney Spears or Shakira.
As I got older, I got more conscious of channel 85, (now it's channel 321) MTV. My mom hated me and my brother watching it but I totally snuck. Around the 7th grade, I got to listen to a couple songs by Simple Plan and Blink 182. I liked them. That was like the first exposure I got to the rock genre. I religiously timed TRL. On there I got to see artists like Fall Out Boy and My Chemical Romance and they enticed me. A friend of mine had Fall Out Boy's 'From Under The Cork Tree' album on her MP3 Player. I borrowed it and listened over and over to this band, this music that I was so attracted to. I scoured movie soundtracks and the Internet to learn more.
I didn't know why, the rest of her music was like The Killers and Simple Plan. The music was different from what I always heard and the words, sounds, beats appealed to me more than anything else I had heard. I got into rock and that became what I was into when people asked. On Wednesdays used to come a half hour long music show called simple 'Rock Wednesday,' I skipped dinner every Wednesday to watch the videos. I saw Billy Talent, 30 Seconds To Mars, Green Day, all these bands and songs that were so much better than what everyone else listened to. Then there was 'Welcome To The Black Parade'.
That song made MCR my favorite band and in a way was the turning point from the regular pop mainstream sound that was all over the place. to rock, mainly punk. I started collecting rock and got an MP3 player of my own, I filled it with the bands that I was discovering, soon came Seether, Evanescence, Nickelback and The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus. A friend of mine gladly handed over his entire music collection when he was leaving the school. In the collection I found 'Afterlife' and 'Almost Easy' by A7X. Every single night I listened to Afterlife and made it my mission to collect the bands' tunes.
The song was about the best thing I heard in my life. From there I entered the metal scene. The music got harder and faster and here I am today. I listen to Punk, Death Metal and basically all that's in between. I can listen to the songs all day and really do love it. What other people call noise, devil music, I don't care.
It's what I love.
