And what a thriving metropolis it is! Why, I can hardly walk across my
hall, much less the campus, without running into so much musical and
other diversity that it makes me want to puke! I only wish I could be
so kool [tm] as all these hipster dudes and dudettes walking around this
campus o'mine!
But there's this one dude on campus......he must be like the most totally
awesome hipster goth-monster type dude! Why, he even mentions some band
called SoM! I don't know what it stands for or what they sound like, but
they must be like so totally freakin' awesome cuz he listens to 'em! I
think they're industrial though, cuz that's what he said. And I want to
be just like him when I grow up from just wearing black to wearing dark
black. I heard someone told him that SoM wasn't really industrial! *gasp!*
But he shut their mouth when he deftly replied that they were nanny-
nanny-boo-boos and they didn't really know what industrial was and
were just closed-minded potty-mouths who didn't listen to real music.
Boy, I wish I could be just like him! *sigh*
Man, I can't wait to see what those little nobodies try to do against
our master defender of mondo-goth!

AHA! I HAVE IT! The long-coveted Perfect Killfile for rec.music.industrial:

"Heard of?" Laugh-a-while you can, monkey-boy.
We know you're cool, cdk7308. We know you're a Big Stud Goth in the Savage
Metropolis of Texas A&M. We know you're so much hipper than all the dumb
Aggies around you that you've not only HEARD of the Sisters of Mercy, you
actually LISTEN to them. (John-S-Hall mode: Wow. I mean, that's so cool.)
So you don't need to keep trying to one-up us with your Musical Manhood.
Quite frankly, you're boring.
We created this newsgroup to discuss industrial music. A Free Clue: Goth
bears no musical resemblance to anything industrial. There are, of course,
good bands on the borderline, like Fields of the Nephilim, but the same can
be said for any two musical genres. You'd do just as well trying to invade
rec.music.funky.
If you goths really need a place to hang out, amble over to news.groups and
make one. It's pretty easy, really.

I recognize telltale symptoms of the Freshman Usenet Cycle:
1. "What's Yooznet?"
2. "Hey, this is neat."
3. "Hey, you mean I can post ANYWHERE I WANT, ANYTHING I WANT, and NOBODY
can STOP me?"
4. "Shit. This is so fucking boring. Nobody pays any attention to me.
Let's just go down to ZKT and drink beer till we puke our guts out."
