I'm Adam Rader.
I love Conan the Barbarian and Mad Max and punk rock and heavy metal.
Still reading? Hey alright.

If there is one thing I would say about myself, it's that I over-think everything, meaning that as of right now, I've constructed and deconstructed three different ways to right this summary. I don't know that a self-written summary is even a good way to get as sense of a person. My self-image could be wildly distorted, you never now. I think it'll probably go better for you if you just scan my interests.

I made this profile to assuage a friend's curiosity about my matches, and now I cannot figure out how to delete. So don't expect much of a response.

Drifting through?

I'm told I'm good at drawing, storytelling, learning, and that I have an impeccable knowledge of the music I love. I'm also pretty good at having a jaundiced view of the world.

Generally, it's my hair. Second, probably that I like metal.

My tastes are pretty dark, in general.

Favorite books: Dune, by Frank Herbert; Blood Meridian, by Cormac McCarthy; the works of H.P. Lovecraft; the Conan the Barbarian stories of Robert Howard

Favorite movies: The Good, The Bad, And The Ugly; Blade Runner; Dead Man; Falling Down; Conan the Barbarian; Mad Max; I love westerns, sci-fi, post-apocalypse and cyberpunk movies, samurai films, 70s psychedelic movies, I dunno', lots of films.

Music: I pride myself on my musical taste, I love to discuss music, I love to collect and listen to music, and I love discovering new bands. My taste in music is constantly evolving, and I listen to new bands on a constant basis. I'm mostly into underground punk and metal music (most often from the 80s)- old-school hardcore punk, Japanese burning spirits hardcore, death, black, and speed metal, d-beat, crust punk, west coast powerviolence, doom metal- but I also like rockabilly music, lots of 60s and 70s psychedelica and hard rock, noise, old-school industrial (like Throbbing Gristle and Swans), garage rock, noise rock (such as the Jesus Lizard), a little bit of hip-hop, and a variety of other stuff I can't recall. If I had to name some bands that are really important to me, they'd be Black Flag and the Germs.

The Apocalypse, nuclear war, corporate totalitarianism, ancient malign alien gods, gruesome extinction-level pandemics, alienation, brutal revolutionary violence, haunted ruins older than humankind, storms of ballistic missiles, spite, abuse, death camps, fanatical nameless cults, misery, cancer, blind searing hatred, shrieks, demonic bellowing, long-forgotten horrifying secrets, self-disgust, conspiracies, murder, torture, defiance, vicious street gangs, contempt, clouds of fallout, harsh clanging noise, black sorcery, decapitations, toxic zombies, inability to relate, terror, serial killers with bizarre fetishes, strange presences lurking in the deep forest, primitive tribes, human sacrifice, unreasonable explosions of incandescent rage, mind control, hideous mutations, and/or the total irreversible collapse of civilizations

At work, or failing that, probably listening to music or watching a movie. I live an exciting lifestyle.

I don't generally think very highly of myself.

Any of the above appeals to you. If you want to talk about music or movies with me, or shit, I dunno', trade book recommendations? If you're going to 4 star me or something like that, don't. Just send me a message instead.
