    I'm hooked on bring me the horizon for some odd reason. I usually don't like emp type rock. I've been raping the repeat button on "sleepwalking" and " can you feel my heart"

    I fell so bad for that repeat button. Can you just set your player to "repeat" ? :smile:

    I can't on mine- just the whole playlist- wildly annoying.

    fur realz.

    as a dancer I either have to stack the song in the song in there 5-10 times OR just walk over between time to reset- which sucks if the piece starts withing seconds of hitting the button.

    Repeat buttons FTW.

    Feel so numb....
    My workout playlist is nothing but Rob Zombie, Marilyn Manson, and Korn. Foxy Foxy by Rob Zombie is the very first song listed, but I usually just hit shuffle.

    Ahh...zombie!!! Here are my favs:

    White Zombie - Real Solution #9
    White Zombie - More Human than Human
    White Zombie - Blur The Technicolor

    Dang I messed that up and the EMO typo, because EMP is related to a type of rock I guess and I was just focused on the "raping" part. hahahaha that was awesome. I love raping the repeat button, but I feel bad for the other songs sometimes.

    Those of you using the word rape casually as a metaphor, I'd be interested to know why you feel comfortable doing so.

    I was wondering why you might and had a quick Google, and found a write-up of a report from earlier this year on it's use on Twitter. It's taken from the Telegraph (not my usual choice of newspaper!) in an article by Jamie Bartlett,

    "...it’s surprising how often the word rape is used metaphor to describe all manner of things: passing a test, a sporting conquest, a joke punch-line. This isn't really a question for the police – it shouldn't be illegal – but for all of us. Words matter, because they often reflect and affect our perceptions. The slow and steady dehumanisation of other people in society... often begins with normalising epithets about them. If rape becomes just another verb to be cast around in everyday language, the danger is that it sanitise the concept and blunts the uniqueness of the crime it describes."

    I usually listen to whatever is on the cr@ppy radio at my gym, but I have found Iron Man to be useful for heavier lifts while I'm home :)

    For what it is worth I agree with you. But it is the internet so you're never going to have a reasonable discussion on it.

    I just had a conversation about this with someone. It does dehumanize out society, but do we even really have any humanity left? I have no faith in society. Individuals, maybe, but people as a whole, no way :noway:. That may be cynical and however ideally it is; yes, I wish people would take more account of their words. If we expressed ourselves more concisely with more consciousness of our impact on the world around us... there might be a hope for us yet. :smile:

    I have an Amazon Prime account and happened across a playlist I really enjoy using. It's 20 songs (hour and 15 minutes), which works out pretty well for my routine, though I like some songs more than others, and am more likely to hit the repeat button on them and listen to them more than once. The list I use is named "Windows Down Rock" (they have a "Hard Rock, Hard Body" playlist, too, but I'm not as keen on the songs on that one).

    My favorites from it:

    Halestorm - Love Bites (So Do I)
    Shinedown - Sound of Madness
    Linkin Park - Bleed It Out

    Bleed It Out tends to be my "get pumped" song that I'm most likely to repeat while getting ready/warmed up, while Love Bites is one I'm most likely to repeat while actively lifting, and Sound of Madness is generally repeated toward the beginning or end (this all includes warm-up, post-shower, changing, etc).

    Rabbit Run is a good option. Strong build-up. Works for when I am hitting a heavy squat set.

    I agree. There are plenty of individual people that I think are genuinely good people. People in groups are stupid. But also, people on the internet seem to have a tendency choose their words carelessly or be outright offensive because for some reason they have a right to offend people.
