HYENA IS BACK! That's right, the only person to ever really post on my journal is back. Tis a glorious day.
I've been thinking about the punk scene a lot lately. Basically because next month i turn 21. What do old timers like me do at shows? We sit back and nod our heads drink beer sit at tables and talk about the scene 'back in the day'.
Personally when I go to shows I dance if I'm into the band. Why you ask, would i do such a barbaric thing like that? Because if the band is good they make me wanna move. I drink at shows (shhh don't tell) and I dance hard and fast. I've gotten hurt, I've accidentally hurt other people (broke someones teeth outta their face =/) But it's all in good fun.
Another thing that I get tons of flack for is being somewhat of an eliteist. Very much so at times. Some things just irritate me so I end up hating someone I dont know for a pretty silly reason.
1. Mall kids at shows. The ones sporting their abercrombie and american eagle. They talk to me like they are one of the crew, and really they aren't. To me part of the reason for being a dirty punk is to be awy from that shit. Now I know full well that not everyone can have a beautifully grown and dyed mohawk and not everyone likes combat boots or shit like that, and also I know that one of the punkest mother fuckers i've ever talked to (Al Quint of Suburban Voice in boston) don't dress like the casualties. But dont dawn on your rattiest 120 dollar pair of jeans and expect me to treat you with respect. It wont happen. Maybe I'm just a real big asshole, but I hate it.
Dancing in the pit is great. The more the merrier. But for gods sake when everyone is circle pitting and you dont know what the fuck that means do not blind side people kick them punch them or anything stupid like that. I can't count how many times ive been brought down hard onto cement and stepped on because some fuckin dickhead decided itd be fun to run through the middle of a circle pit and slam into about 15 people dancing together.
And more about dancing: Do NOT complain that people dance when you are trying to "watch the band." If you want to watch go to the back. Do not cry when you get thrown into the pit for standing real close to the front of it. Do not cry if you get punched or kicked standing that close. There are safe zones and usually people know where these are. People dance because it's fun and sometimes its real aggressive so kindly move to the back if you don't like it.
Breaking shit at a club is not cool 99% of the time. It's hard enough to find shows without a scumbag fucking it up more.
Punk rock women are sexy as fuck. The more attitude the better. When the girl will punch me in the face because I'm being dumb, that's when I know shes a keeper. Don't call the girls I go out with bitches, hoes, sluts, cunts, or anything like that because they told you that your taste in music is fucking lame because 1. i will have a problem with that and 2. she's probably right and 3. being a sexist asshole isnt being a rebel or breaking the rules, it's looking like you have to degrade someone because your dick is too small to use real wit to come back with anything looking like an argument.
COCK HAWKS ARE NOT COOL. This is one of those things that irritate me very much. If the mohawk doesnt go down the back of your head you just look like a rooster, hence the cock hawk. It makes me cringe like mullets do. It also makes baby jesus cry. Don't make baby jesus cry please.
I bitch because I care and it's my scene to bitch about if iI want.
