Industrial Friendly Hurdles Part I – High School
Actually, there is no Rivethead unfriendly setting. Any place that seems culturally stable and has only a handful of Marilyn Manson worshipers to its name is ripe to be shattered by a fierce individualist such as yourself. In this portion of the course we will discuss how to safely and effectively scare an entire population of those “normal folks.”
Let’s take school, for example. High school is the best place to launch a full-force Rivethead campaign. People scare easily, and those who aren’t scared will worship you and your deviant ways NOTE: Once this number of people increases beyond two, you better move on. The more people there are like you, the more likely one of them will try to overthrow you… damn puberty.
The first day you enter such a setting, bring it full force. How you dress will play a big impact on your success and failure. (Next Monday will have a “How To Dress” follow up.) Remember to stride into class with a t-shirt of the most unheard-of band you can think of, preferably one with blatant obscenity all over it (good examples are the “I DON’T FUCKING CARE” Acumen Nation shirt or the EAT SHIT YOU FUCKING REDNECK” Pigface shirt.)
If you are accosted by any “higher” authority, simply threaten them with either bodily harm or a legal action for infringing on your rights. (Legal threats are less likely to get you detention and school counseling time, but remember that punk chick is in there almost every day plus detention is fun, too.)
Keep in mind that the dress code was made to be obliterated and challenged so thus, it is your right to tell people to fuck off. Wearing sunglasses constantly for no apparent reason is also a great way to “Keep it industrial”. Tell people the light hurts your eyes, even if it’s the cloudiest day in history. Respond to any vampire jokes with a hiss or offer to drink their blood. If the harassing individual is an ugly female, tell her you’d rather die of thirst than drink her blood or use any other clever remark to remind her makeup does work.
Always presenting your appearance with your highest ability will reinforce your elite industrialness, even if you are not learning anything in class, I.E. gym class. If you actually want to learn something, develop alternative “study” methods like paying attention with your eyes closed, fake eyes drawn on your eyelids are optional. If you have the sunglasses, turn your head away from the person presenting the material or board and watch out the corner of your eye.
You can also draw seemingly meaningless violent images in your notebooks which, known only to you, contain better study material than anyone else’s notes. If this doesn’t work try tape recording the class. Too much work? Hey, you thought alienating yourself from your peers would be easy? Douche.
Next up Part 2… COLLEGE!!!

As Always, Here is A Fix.
