The Who are exempt from this rule. Im still protesting 136 dollar tickets to see 2 of them, one of whom is deaf as a board.

You might be a rockist if you've even considered blowing $136 to see any concert, especially the Who!

I might be a rockist scientist!

... I spent $165 a ticket to see Prince in a small club. Does that make me a funkist?

I once flew home from college in the midwest to NYC to see the Mission....does that make me a Gothist?

I'll answer my own question: No, Alex, it makes you an IDIOT!

― Alex in NYC (vassifer), Monday, 30 September 2002 19:18 (twenty-three years ago)

If you own even one Yngwie Malmsteen record...There is a distinct possibility that you just might be a rockist.

If you own Rhino's seven-disc COMPLETE FUNHOUSE SESSIONS by the Stooges -- featuring 28 consecutive takes of "Loose"....you might be a rockist.

If you're quick to point out that the Hell Angels stabbed Meredith Hunter during "Under My Thumb" at Altamont and NOT during "Sympathy for the Devil"......you might be a rockist.

if the sight of "disco sucks" banners on vh1 spots or in magazine articles fills you with an inexplicable glee, you might be a rockist.

― mike (ro)bott, Monday, 30 September 2002 19:55 (twenty-three years ago)

If you would never listen to anything called "Kid 606" even if it was rock... you might want to consider the possibility that you are a rockist.

if you have ever defended the band Asia in a music thread or discussion, blah blah blah blah rockist.

― Aaron A., Monday, 30 September 2002 20:00 (twenty-three years ago)

If you hear a four beat pulse and you immediately think "gay," you just may be a rockist.

- If you pine for the days before MTV started playing non-Euro, non-White, non-guitar-weilding acts on the air....you're invariably a rockist. (From a "rockist" perspective, this could be re-phrased: "If you pine for the days when MTV played actual music...").

- If the highlight of your trip to London was sitting under Adrian Smith of Iron Maiden's guitar at the Hard Rock Cafe......

- If the highlight of your trip to Berlin was your pilgrimage to Hansa Studios.....

- If you've ever bothered to seek out Jim Morrison's grave in Paris....

- If you're keen on saying "...Rock City" anytime someone mentions the word "Detroit,".....

If you choose THE BENDS over KID A.

If you go to a concert by a band you absolutely hate because you'll get lucky with your date...

― brg30 (brg30), Monday, 30 September 2002 21:46 (twenty-three years ago)

If you didn't get the chance to disown Van Halen for replacing David Lee Roth with Sammy Hagar because you'd already disowned them for using synths...

If you consider the term "rap song" an oxymoron...

If you've ever willingly worn any piece of apparel with the Rolling Stones tongue logo...

― Nate Patrin, Monday, 30 September 2002 21:58 (twenty-three years ago)

If more than 3/4 of the artists in your record collection have names that begins with "The"...

― Aaron A., Monday, 30 September 2002 22:06 (twenty-three years ago)

If you've owned a dozen record players in your life and none of them were Technics...

― Aaron A., Monday, 30 September 2002 22:07 (twenty-three years ago)

If you go to a concert by a band you absolutely hate because you'll get lucky with your date...

no, this makes you desperate. rockism may be desperate but desperate does not necessarily equal rockism.

If you've ever used the word "killer" as an adjective.

― Jody Beth Rosen, Tuesday, 1 October 2002 01:07 (twenty-three years ago)

....if you refer to guitar players as "axemen".

is 'rockist' a synonymous with/of/for 'hesher' ?

― mike (ro)bott, Tuesday, 1 October 2002 01:18 (twenty-three years ago)

i ama rockist: i tell everybody within earshot how i saw Outkast at S.O.B's two weeks before Stankonia hit - and i will again!! mwahahahaha you can't stop me!

― Tracer Hand (tracerhand), Tuesday, 1 October 2002 03:15 (twenty-three years ago)

according to those criteria, i am not a rockist.

― di smith (lucylurex), Tuesday, 1 October 2002 03:28 (twenty-three years ago)

If you think of today as *cue FM deejay voice* "The First Day of Rocktober"...

― Matt C., Tuesday, 1 October 2002 04:33 (twenty-three years ago)

if you only like records made by middle-aged white men who "really mean it"...

― michael wells (michael w.), Tuesday, 1 October 2002 07:43 (twenty-three years ago)

If you find the NME informative and essential for those obscure bands that just don't get mainstream Radio 1 airplay...
