[ONE]
Posted November 8, 2007
it's annoying seeing all of these girls that all look the same, act the same, say the same things, are into the same things. I feel like my generation is so un-origional. Hardcore will die someday [and i hope it isn't soon] and then we'll see who the real hardcore fans are. I swear if wearing overalls and yodeling was the latest thing or "non-conformist" movement, there would be thousands and thousands of kids my age who practically live on the internet who would do everything they needed to do for all their online friends, not like they were going to meet them ever anyways.. gah I guess I am just agitated. I met a kid the other day and he was like, "I AM hardcore, I am SERIOUS!" and I was like, "You don't LOOK hardcore." and he was like, "Well I bought this CD, August.. something.. and a band tee from this one hardcore band from Hot Topic so.. yeah. That's sooo rad." It made me so mad but I didn't even say anything. AUGUST BURNS RED. I freakin love that band and he's all thinking you have to look a certain way to be hardcore and just because you have a band tee doesn't mean you're hardcore.
And another thing- moshing isn't just jumping in the middle of a so-called pit, pushing and shoving guys around like you're in a 3rd grade fit. NO! no no no. Moshing is dancing. That's why it's called hardcore DANCING okay? Some kids just think if they go and dye their hair, buy some tight clothes and listen to two hardcore bands and think you're so hardcore and you're telling everyone about how you are SOOOO into hardcore bands. NO! You don't know anything about the bands, you don't know anything about the scene, you're not going to know what to watch out because you don't even know what you're doing besides just trying WAY too hard to get into a group.
Seriously, if there was a kid who was telling you that he/she was into everything you're into and is telling you everything and how it all goes and they're totally wrong about it.. you'd be annoyed too. It's like it's glamourcore.
IT"S NOT EVEN ABOUT THE MUSIC ANYMORE
IT'S ABOUT THE STYLE, THE HAIR AND UNORIGIONAL KIDS WHO KNOW NOTHING ABOUT HARDCORE, EVEN THOUGH THEY SAY THEY DO.
I am really sick of it. Honestly, know who you are. Fads fade, kids. Know who you are and dress in what you want, but don't have the odasity to stand there, completely conformed to all the pictures you study online, and say that you're completely non-conformist. HYPOCRACY I tell you!!
Another thing. If you're going to be straight-edge and have the cute little x's on your hands, you'd better know what you're doing. There are some kids who are very serious about it and if you're going to profess you don't drink, dont smoke [not just weed and whatnot- that includes cigarettes] and don't sleep around. Seriously. There are kids I see at shows who are like, "Oh yeah, straight-edge for life!" and then 2 seconds into the 3rd band, they're popping out the smokes. NO. If you're straight-edge then you're straigh-EGDE! You're making us look bad. If you do those things, you're unedge okay? please people, if you want to be in the hardcore scene, it should be because you love the MUSIC and you're tight with your friends, not because you can dress the part. Hardcore is not a dress-up party allright?
whewww.. talk about a cop out?!
