"What
makes you think we have to act any differently just cos we are into a certain
scene?"... We don't. No one set a fuckin rule, no one owes anyone an explanation.
I just figured anyone who is in for the right reason turned to this scene
because it is one place that is, at least ideally, different. Different
in a way that we have heart, that we want to make a change, we're not apathetic
and willing to give in as easily as so many other people our age to the
media and the mall and the rest of that garbage. To just say those words,
and not try to better ourselves would be just dying into highschool (although
for some it's there throughout the rest of their lives) b.s. of doing what
we're expected to do; always fighting in some condemned rats race where
he/she with the most dough, biggest boobs, and expensive clothes wins.
Hardcore and punk is where we should be able to come together, have fun,
be open minded, just truly be who we are and not have to put up fronts
of what we are. And I hope we're not all jerks who will shun kids and put
down others and float with the latest trend.
