Everyone knows someone like Jason. Let's hear from him in his own words:

"It started off innocently enough, I'd make a few corrections to people online when they confused post-metalcore with post-hardcore, but soon it was spiralling out of control. It became all consuming, I was spending up to 18 hours a day online writing rebuttals about Dillinger Escape Plan and how to pigeonhole them in allcaps.

I wasn't sleeping. I lost my job.

I knew it'd gone to far and I needed to seek help when I got arrested after flipping out in HMV and started throwing Sepultura albums at the staff shrieking "Pop/rock! Pop/rock! Stick it up your arse! Ignorant fucks""

You can help.

Just £25 a month buys an hour's counselling from a bearded old guy who will sigh and try to talk about 'Glam-metal' in an attempt to relate.
