Well I've been asked to write an article on an issue that is important to me, so I've chosen different social groups and people making comments on what they don't know about.

Different groups of people are defined by what they wear and what music they listen to. This means people are friends with people who dress like them and listen to the same music as them.

Of course there are exceptions. Some people aren't anything in particular, but the majority of young people belong to some sort of group.

However different groups don't seem to get along at all, for example to put it kindly "fashionable people" seem to have a personal vendetta against Marilyn Manson - they hate the group, but none of these people have ever listened to them.

So my point is they judge us on the reaction from the press that some band they've never listened to gets.

These people would not be able to name one song by Marilyn Manson or any other group that isn't manufactured by some manager, so they hate the music although they have never heard it.

It's like hating

chocolate but

never trying it.

I have to admit Marilyn Manson does give people like my friends bad press.

However the "fashionable people" seem not to acknowledge we have the right to be different without listening to their pathetic, uneducated comments.

I personally despise NSYNC, S club7 and Westlife, none of them can actually sing, play an instrument or write a song without at least four managers helping them.

For example Britney Spears - all her songs sound exactly the same and now she seems to have a twin sister called Christina Aguilera.

Backstreet Boys wouldn't know real talent if it walked up to them and hit them in the face with a brick.

So all the time people make stupid little comments e.g. "Are those trousers big enough"

I don't ask if your earrings are big enough do I?

So keep your thoughts to yourself. I couldn't care less what you thought of me, just keep it to yourself.

So next time you see someone different in the street don't make some silly little comment thinking your better than us.

Don't even smile just keep walking and take your big earrings with you.
