I'm so stoked for this movie. Maybe it'll get people jamming faster, more old school hardcore. Maybe even get people dancing like shows back then. None of this big ol' dent in the crowd in front of the band and random people sprouting out to show off their moves.
More circle pits, more jumping, more pile-ons, more people actually having fun at shows.
I'm sick and tired of people who jock hardcore so hard yet show no love for the roots. The purpose of this blog is to promote the scene, specifically the parts of the scene that are reminiscent of the 80's. I intend to do that, on and offline as much as possible. I live in Laredo, TX, and I don't know how many people who read this have ever been to a show here, or have even heard about the city itself, but I have plans for this city. I intend to eventually open up a warehouse for our scene. Record store, venue, hang-out, home. It'll take a while to get eveything setup, but that's my life's goal. I want to make it a place where the hardcore scene can congregate and be united. I want hardcore here to be like it was back then, a place for kids who were just angry at the world and everything in it to go and release their negative energy, turn it around, and promote positive change. I'm tired of all these rich kids who goto shows because they think it makes them cooler. I'll give it to some of them for actually liking the music and whatnot, but there are too many of them who go because it's "scene." They, usually, don't have to deal with real problems. Nor do they have the mentality for hardcore. I'm not saying I'm some sort of guru of hardcore as I've only been going to shows for the past 3 years, but I've taken in everything about it and made it my home away from home, and I want to give back to it all that it's given to me. Some may say that because of my age I have no idea what I'm talking about, but I'm sure I have a better idea of hardcore than most people who would look down on me for my age.
Overall, I just want to say: fuck scenesters. fuck fashion, fuck people who goto shows to be seen, and fuck people who won't take part in shows because it'll ruin their attire.
I really look forward to this movie, and I hope it causes a surge in the number of kids who go into hardcore for for what it is and brings back the mentality of old.
haha, anyways, I'm done here.
Peace,
