I hate band kids and I am one.
I spent 7 years in the program trying to like these ego-obsessed abominations, and towards the end of this past school year, I finally decided “hey these people actually aren’t as nice as they seem.”
And no. I don’t hate all band kids. I just hate the popular-clicky ones. I know. Sounds ridiculous. But, at my school, I guess our music program is superior within its region, which means that it is much more highly competitive. Our sports program sucks ass, so therefore we are pride-ful in our music program, causing most band kids to not be your typical misfits. All of them are seen as angels, among their teachers, administrators and peers. And instead of being a good humble person that everyone sees them as, they feed off of their own ego, and treat others like shit. There like: “Oh were so talented, being the best wind ensemble in 6 states” “Oh were so smart, being AP scholars.” “Oh were such good kids, being the kids who don’t do bad stuff.”
like no one gives a single fuck. yet they still talk down to so many people.
If you suck at your instrument: Sorry, You’re not worth my time.
If you’re not in Jazz 1: Sorry, You’re not worth my time.
If you’re not in AP classes: Sorry, You’re not worth my time.
If you don’t live in a rich district: Sorry, You’re not worth my time.
I shit you not, this is how their minds work, even it may be unconscious. Like get that fucking stick out of your ass, and treat us like humans.
They are this annoying ass group that sits in the band hall on chairs against the lockers. Every time you practice after class and into your own lunch time, you have to squeeze past all of them and be all like “sorry. Umm. excuse me. Sorry. need to put my instrument away.” when you really want to say: “BITCH FUCKING MOVE, YOU DON’T OWN THE WHOLE GODDAMN HALL WAY.”
There are plenty more examples where this group/cult is just so damn annoying and rude. And that example is just a mild example of their mob mentality. Even some of them individually, are so annoying I want to beat them senselessly with a sheet pan.
So, if you’re reading this and it sounds slightly familiar, this is what I have to say to you: Okay. You’re very talented and i’m sure you worked very hard for it, BUT, get the fuck off your high horse, and just be nice. people are people. And it doesn’t hurt to be a little more considerate with your surroundings, because I hate to break it to you, But your kind of an asshole.
