I love heavy metal. So I go to metal pubs. I meet people, we talk and listen to each other. I've been talking to the same people for 30+ years but I meet new people EVERY time I venture out. I may see them again, I may not. Who cares?
We lend PHYSICAL copies of albums, video games and books to one another. This increases trust, knowledge and love for one another. We share stories about all sorts of things. We create stories by doing things together.
This is how friendships are formed and maintained. This is humanity. This is who we are and how we behave.
Poverty is the digital world.
See you out there!
- lawgimenez 1y agoI’m more of a hardcore guy but stopped going to shows when I got out of college and got a job. I’m in my 40s now, well my point is it’s amazing how you are still going to shows.
- queenkjuul 1y agoIdk how you're not still going to shows, and my 40-something show-going friends would probably think the same. Just not a concept i can wrap my head around lol
- lawgimenez 1y agoYeah, taking care of my autistic kid just takes all my remaining time.
- queenkjuul 1y agoOh, you made it sound like you stopped when you got a job, not when you had a kid
- 01HNNWZ0MV43FF 1y agoI never heard of such a thing as a metal pub. Not in small town USA anyway :(
- queenkjuul 1y agoProper small towns no, but my old "small city" (<250k) had a pretty thriving metal scene (but not really one particular bar they centered on)
- dazzawazza 1y agoLuckily I live in London, UK. There are many metal, rock and alternative pubs. Most cities will have at least one. Small rural town will not though :( But the metal pub is really just an example. Any activity where people regularly come together just to chew the fat is better than online for creating friendships. Take care.
