People saying stuff about my favourite bands
They've been doing it for nearly a year, saying crap about my favourite bands.
It used to be more about that it hurt, you know it's like they're striking your heart, because music is my soul. The air that I breathe.
But I just took a step back and said "Okay, i'm the one that gets to listen to music in my opinion which is the best, and they are missing out not me." which made me feel a little bit better.
Now it's more annoying how they basically stalk me and say comments about the music I listen to. And when I 'beat them' they just come back with stupid comebacks not worth fighting and then they scream they won.
Once as a comeback I said crap about their favourite music but then they ordered people to try and beat me up. I've told the teachers they say they'll "talk" but never do and I've told my parents who tell me to get over it, it's just a few comments about music and to ignore them. The principal said I bring it on myself (I don't know how I bring it on myself, before you ask) and yeah everyone I should tell I already have and they've done nothing.

Maybe give some free advice about: Music?
Okay. What this is about is not really music. It's about a difficult situation. You see, they have found your 'button.' They could have said something about 'yo mama' and it wouldn't have upset you. They could have run down your clothes or your appearance and it wouldn't matter. But if they talk about how much your music sucks, then you give them the emotional response they want. They are deliberately provoking you because they know what's very important to you. You have given them this power by reacting to them every time they say something (in the beginning). The only way to stop the taunting is to not let it upset you visibly. Pretend that it simply doesn't upset you. Tell the guys so. After all, if some kids were following me around yelling that the sky was green and down was really up and calling me a moron for not knowing, that, I could easily ignore them and safely know that they're derranged. What difference does it make if they are too stupid to know the truth? Now, while you haven't brought it on yourself, you have permitted these guys to get under your skin and play with your emotions for their cruel amusement. If they continue to stalk you and harass you about music, you can very calmly and acting quite bored with the whole thing, say something like "Oh, guys, aren't you over that yet? What are you doing this summer?" It's simple Pavlovian psychology that once they stop getting their desired response, eventually, their behavior will become useless and they will stop. That's not to say that they won't still try to beat you at something or start talking about your crappy taste in girls or cars or art or wine. If they can find another button, they will push that until it stops working, as well.
Good luck.

Everyone has their own opinion about music. You can't force someone to like your favorite music, and you can't force them not to talk shit about it. If your music sucks to them, then there is no changing their mind. Don't tell me "well they've probably never heard it!" because chances are, they have & they just didn't like it. Sure, you might not like one song by an artist, but you might like another, but they're ignorant & too stuck in their opinion to decide. If they don't like your music, then suck it up & deal. They don't have to like your music, and you don't have to like their's. Simple.
