i understand where ur coming from, im in year10 and ppl pick on me 4 liking Queen too but i dnt pay attention[/QUOTE]
Same here, and I've actually been able to turn a few of them into Queen fans.
Also, Tyfoon, I know what you mean. When I was in years 6-8 I was just about the only one who liked Billy Joel and Elton John, and people picked on me for it, but again, I didn't pay attention and now live a happy Billy Joel-Elton John-Queen-POTO-filled life. :D

I never get picked on for liking Queen....
In my school, most of the people think Queen is old, but still pretty cool. Nobody complained when my history teacher used to play the greatest hits in lesson.
My art teacher used to put on GH1 during lessons.
One time, I started singing along to Killer Queen and one of my friends-who didn't know it was Queen and frankly can't stand them-said to me "What the heck are you singing?!" (as the music wasn't too loud.)
I just scoffed at her all annoyed.
Then this other kid, said "Hey, isn't that music from like 100 years ago"
Which really pissed me off here.
Then this OTHER guy starts snickering at the table next to me and says "Yeah, that's real music-on Opposite Day!!!"
I almost started crying tears of rage at that one.
At the time, I had never sworn in my life, but now I would have been more like this:
"You F**KING MORON! I DON"T CRITISIZE YOUR MUSIC LIKE SLIPKNOT AND 50 CENT! WHICH I THINK IS S**T!!! SO F**K OFF YOU F**KING LOSER!"
Opposite day, I ask you. Honestly.

Since when did schools start having music on in lessons? I'm pretty sure that when I was at school (and I'm only 25, so it wasn't that long ago) we would have got a severe bollocking for even suggesting that!
I don't know - the youth of today seem to have it way too easy! Get back down the coal mines - that will stop you complaining ;)

OMG, people always pick on me for liking Queen. There are a few guys in my class and they're like "You listen to Queen? But he was gay. I heard he died of AIDS. He was gay, who did he fuck to get AIDS then? They're gay. Why do you listen to gay-music?"
OMG, I got so fucking angry, pushed the guy who said it into the wall, kicked him like three times and screamed "YOU'RE SO FUCKING PATHETIC!! GET A LIFE AND LEAVE ME ALONE!!"
Man, can't people just accept that you have different taste in music than them???

"i decided to correct this because the grammar and spelling is a disgrace to our generation. i realise that you were upset but if you are going to post on a site like this you need to do your best to make it correct. i tried my best to correct this and do realise there may still be some mistakes. I'm just trying to make a point."
That is unspeakably funny. That is to say, funny to the point that if I laugh any harder, I might rupture my arse and lose a lot of blood.
No capitals? I thought you corrected his stuff yet you spelt confiscate 'CONVISCATE'. Sounds like some kind of heartburn medicine! Take it easy!
As for the original poster - ROCK ON. If I were you, I would have stood up, swished my cape, and growled;
"Fucking PHILISTINES".
Of course, I would've drawn out the 'f' sounds, like;
"ffffffFUCKING phhhhhhhhhhhHILISTINES".
Seriously, being that angry is actually theraputic.

Funny, I just had one of those situations again today. We were in art class and as usual, I was talking about Queen and how great they were, then one of the girls started asking me about them. She said, "Who are Cream?"
I said, "It's Queen actually." Then she said, "Are they any good?"
I was just going to say something like, "Oh yes, they bloody well are!" but I was beaten to it by this girl who was sitting across from me (she's a rich kid, her father owns loads of businesses - and she thinks she's the bees kness). She says, "Of course they're not any good, they're an old band aren't they?"
Yeah, her opinion is that 40-year-olds should be in nursing homes for god's sake. I just laughed, I couldn't do much else. And she knew well that it was a laugh that said 'What a saddo' rather than one that said what she had just come out with was hilarious.
At the end of class I said to my friend, "Oh by the way, don't listen to Ciara. Queen are the business I tell you." And she said, "Oh don't worry, I'll take your word for this one." So for once I came out on top.

Wow... These are my people!
I always gotta defend my liking for Queen...
Its rather annoying...
Especially this one time when i was in my morality class, we were voting on class officals and had to read a TON of campaign essays. And our teacher would allow one mediation song a day, but on such a particular day, he allowed music to be played the whole class as we read these essays, and so one of my friends asked me if i had my CD's w/ me, it turns out i had a few and one was ANATO, now her and i are the only 2 Queen fans in this class, i have found however, maybe 2 others who actually like them but not in that class at that time however.
And so she said "Sam o my god we gotta play Bo Rhap.." i was COMPLETELY unsure because i knew for a fact that no one else in the class would appreciate it at all since they're all into all that freakin hip-hop and emo music and screamo, but not GOOD rock music.
But against my better judgement and with my urge to listen to QUEEN, i said yes, took the CD out of my carrycase and gave it to her to put in, and as the opening notes of BO RHAP came on, immediate groans, and comments to the effect of "WHAT THE HELL IS THIS?"
And my friend trying to get others interested, saying it gets even better and faster and what not. And even mroe groans and "When the hell is this song going to be over with? its soo damn long!" "God i cant stand this anymore..." and im seething in my seat by this time, and so my friend again tryin to gain interest says as the headbanging part comes on "Ever watch Waynes World? Its in it." Then all of a sudden a few "oohs and yes's" from the haters in the group and suddenly changing their tunes with the immediate popular pop culture reference to o yea i love this song.
Well needless to say, i sat there ready to punch some lights out and tell them to piss off and go home and listen to their shit music. But i refrained, using all will power within my grasp.
And recently at a semi-formal dance, one of my other aquatinces who too loves queen requested AOBTD, and as it came on, i found her and we were jumping up and down and screaming, but the damn dancefloor cleared... Because it wasnt any of this "my humps" shit or w/e... but her and i proudly strutted our stuff to this great tune by the greatest band ever, and i to the best of my ability, was doing the Freddie mercury strut and singing all throughout, and we were complaining on how these kids wouldnt know good music if it bit them on the ass.
And so i applaud u for being able to say something so strongly, because if i had the opportunity, i would as well.
ROCK ON TEENQUEEN FANS!

ROCK ON TEENQUEEN FANS!
Well I don't know, every day in school seems to be Queen-related these days!
Today for once something good happened. We had a table quiz in school to raise money for charity, and it included the teachers getting up on stage to make fools of themselves. Very entertaining actually - they dressed up as Marilyn Monroe, the Pogues and loads more! But then one of the teachers said, "And now can we have a round of applause for our next guest... Freddie Mercury!"
My religion teacher got up on stage wearing a skirt, complete with vacuum cleaner and fake breasts and started dancing along to 'I Want To Break Free'! It was great, and everyone was singing along. It was a nice change from people saying how much Queen are 'crap'.
