The Corrupted Media

"black metal strikes suria", "black metal again????" and "malaysian police raids gig, protest on its way!". These posts have been headlining the local scene forums for some time already. Who to blame? The media.

mediacorp's malay channel suria has a show called hanyut which is about losers who fucked their own life up and blamed it on friends, relatives, society and their parents. Anyway, the previous episode was about black metal. I think the bloody producers saw that it's about time to air an episode all about black metal when msian goverment banned mayhem and resurfacing the "black metal story" that happened back all the way in 1992 if i'm not wrong.

Basically, everyone thought that particular episode is good and it makes the public appreaciate black metal. but no..it was the other way round.

Harun a 17 year old malay boy is into black metal and he dresses up everytime he's going out. Complete with make up, eye liner, boots, jackets, spikes and chains even to meet his friends at the void deck just to play 1 acoustic guitar. How pathetic...5 boys all fully dressed up at a void deck watching one of their friends playing acoustic guitar is uber fucking kult!! to MEDIACORP that is...

The show just shows Harun being rude to his parents, staying out late, smoking, drinking & stealing money. WTF? That is every fucking mat's hobby. And to steal money from his grandma for battle of the band?? which is fucking mainstream... stupid ridiculous poseurs..

AND the show even focused on Iron Maiden, Skid Row and Slipknot being black metal...how stupid...they should bloody get their facts right first even before showing it..so now every parents will think that black metal is badddddddddddddddddd.

the storyline:
idiot's parents not in good terms, idiot became rebellious, idiot started listening to black metal, idiot started being rude to parents and even steals money, idiot started drinking and coming home late, idiot wanted to form a band and joined a competition, idiot sentt to boys' home, idiot stole again when he is inside, idiot realised his mistakes and repent. "Drawing grafitti and sketching koi fish on notepads are signs that you are not satanic "

I thought the show is about a boy who started listening to black metal at a young age. Got hooked. Attended a gig. Felt high while moshing, bodysurfing and headbanging for the first time. Met more weird people.Wanted to feel big. Thinks that worshipping Satan rocks. Got influenced badly and performed rituals. Went around shouting "Ave Satanas!" and then regretted everything

stupid hanyut show.
boo.
