well, i just said that in reference to a certain person my friend and i i met at an against me show.
conversation:
him: i think they suck. im more into real punk.
us: oh, like what?
him: like the exploited.
us: we used to like the exploited, and they are pretty cool, but one day we realized that they were singing about problems in england 20 years ago, and that really isnt relevant to us now, the direct message is lost. these guys talk about issues that concern us now, etc.
him: blah blah anarchy in the uk blah blah.
the kid then booed against me, etc. and he was wearing that hot topic dead kennedys shirt.
thats what i meant, the people that use punk as fashion, and have no idea of the message or the values of the community. i mean, i can respect it even if you just dig the music and not the message, but still, when you go to the scene, obey its rules. i was dancing and got knocked over in a push pit (!!!!) and no one helped me up for gods sake.
so yeah.. thats about it. i'm a new schooler to the core (behold my black plugs, tight t shirt, tight jeans, and fashionable shoes!!! and i had dyed black hair for about 2 years too) but its just cuz thats what i like to wear, and im sure whenever a crust kid ses me there are like "poseur!" or something. i guess what i really mean is that it doesnt matter what you wear as long as you act like a part of the community, which the people im talking about dont.
Ya i know many people who are in for socail stats but it's pretty easy to spot them even if they are dressed to kill, it's not hard to realize after a 5 minute conversation with someone like that. I don't get pissed at them or the things they say because in a few weeks they're gonna find some other trend and won't bug me anymore. I believe in supporting the scene and in order to keep it going someone's gonna have to take a new kid under their wing, come on i know nobody is born punk, someone older toke it upon themselves to show you the way! Kinda like the force,but not as cool!
Anyways i got kinda off subject, the band i'm hoping can be like street punk/77 style, but just a touch of pop, blended in you knowJust enough pop to be able to understand the words, but not like the disstillers, kinda like Raooul
ok im done
meet you half way
start walking
