18. I used to have an online friend who was WAY into music

I mean WAY into it. It seems just about everyone I know is into music to some degree, but this guy was serious and he wanted to share his love. His thing was METAL, which I am fine with, but obscure sub-genres that he could (and did) go on about for hours.

He was constantly sending me links to music, and then telling me about it. He'd throw out labels like "Scandanavian Norse Techno Metal" or "Germanic Viking Turbo Goth" along with youtube vids a dozen at a time. So I would share with him the music of my people, things like this:

Speaking of which, I think that's a better song than pretty much anything "The Boss" has done. But there you go.
