When the fuck did the scene become so elitist?
When did tight pants, baseball T's & shaggy haircuts become more important than the music & the message?
When did we become the cool kids?
Why did we allow it??
Does anyone remember life before the Atari's & Sing The Sorrow?
How about the time before empTyV whored our music and our culture?
The other day I was walking to Barnes & Noble on my lunchbreak and I was nearly run down by a bunch of kids in a car. Then they threw me the finger and sped off at top speed revving their engine as the congratulated each other. Three years ago, theyde all have had ecko and sean john on cruising to the smooth sounds of eminem. But now the little hooligans were sporting smoosh hairdoo's, trucker hats, and complete emoesque outfits freshly purchased from overly expensive stores at the North Shore Mall...
It hurt a little inside I guess..Id always kind of though we were a counterfriction of popular culture...Elitism was ok when it was "us vs. them". But they have become us. You never expect anything from your enemies, but when your friends let you down, it hurts terribly.
Go to any coffee shop, or ANY college campus and youll see for yourself. Pop kids practicing leftist politics with the other decievers completely ignorant to the past....
Whatever...Maybe im the one who is wrong. Ancient at 22....
Who knew $9.00 a month could go so far. Thnaks for letting me vent.

i also wonder about 'the scene.' where i live it's pretty catty. i thought it was all about the music and message, too. guess i was wrong. norma jean and beloved are going to be playing a show here in sept, but alas.. i will be on vacation in sunny california, away from all that hinders my spirit! hum de dummm...
