The Kagan Effect

Post by Jinglepup » Sun December 8th, 2013, 8:16 am

Metal fans that derail a conversation about albums, bands, or songs to bring up people in metal bands they have met are engaging in The Kagan Effect.

Example:

Metal fan 1: I really like Mastodon's newest album. It's really groove heavy and melodic.

Metal fan 2: Oh yeah it's good. I met Troy Sanders. He was a cool guy.

Metal fan 1: >looking perplexed<

Metal fan 2: The Atlanta metal scene has some good bands in it.

Metal fan 1: I don't really prefer a lot of bands from the local scene.

Metal fan 2: There's some good ones, oh did I mention I have a band? MY band is signed to Deathgore Records.

Metal fan 1: What style is it?

Metal fan 2: Style? Oh it's hardcore death metal and black metal. >taking a breath< I met and had a beer with Alex Webster from Cannibal Corpse.

Metal fan 1: :roll: >looking at his watch< Well I gotta get going. >walking away<

Metal fan 2: Hey did I mention I met..........

The Kagan Effect drives people away and once the pattern is seen they don't want to have anything to with those that exhibit this behavior.
I mourn as and with DarkWolfen as our metal hero is gone. :(

I remember the very first thing he asked me when I met him was if I was Jewish.

real Kagan effect is as follows:

1) View message board
2) See posts about Albert Kagan
3) Ignore
4) Log off
5) Remember this board exists 2 months later
6) Repeat steps 1-4

The grade I gave was for my own post, original post is an F- or a grade so low that it boggles the mind
