Maybe here on DCP we can improve things just a little by writing more precisely and stopping use of "hate" and "haters" to describe everything we don't particularly care for. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They don't hate them, they just dislike their team losing.

Tim K Posted July 25, 2022 Share Posted July 25, 2022 First of all, the “hatred” of today is different from back in the day, and my reference would be mid to late 70’s to early 80’s. The rivalries were heated to put it mildly. After CYO Nationals and World Open, kids who marched in the bands, drum corps, and drill teams that competed in local Massachusetts circuits (CYO, Eastern MA, Mayflower) would proudly wear drum corps t-shirts purchased at the shows. While not forbidden, many groups told members not to wear 27th Lancers and Bridgemen t-shirts after competing because it caused problems, anything from name calling, fights, and having the t-shirt torn off the wearer. There were no issues with Madison, Blue Devils, Phantom, etc. There were also times police had to get involved with scuffles involving rival corps and their fans. I think the hatred is different today. Back in the day would have been rivalries that get out of hand, jealousy, and turf issues. Today it’s just, for lack of a better word, ignorance. Blue Devils has fielded shows I do not care for (though they have also created memorable moments too), but I’ve still managed to function in the world. If Carolina Crown is no longer to your liking, is spewing venom necessary? Will the world really come to an end if Boston Crusaders make the top three? 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen users on DCP call brass lines disgusting and hideous or mock corps when electronics don't work cuz they "hate" them so much... grown men... describing the performances of these hard working kids who love what they do, and are dedicating their summer to entertain us and build lifelong memories... as disgusting and hideous. Yeah, we have vile human beings on here like that. Edited July 25, 2022 by CAtenhut 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
