We Will Make It:
We will make it, if it is the last thing we do.
Late saturday night after returning from a show at
the Manning bar i decided upon making this blog.
I had gotten into a fight or two that night while
dancing, and as i looked around myself i realized
the real magnitude of some ideas i had been speculating
a few months prior. The scene had been almost completely
and utterly destroyed, me honing in on the NB in general.
I witnessed little girls and boys, which i could have only guessed
there age to be about 14, people there for mere socializing and a
vibe that under no circumstances could be considered chilled. People
with crossed arms and stern faces scattered amongst the room,
scanning for people to pry and pick on who are lacking
"merchandise" and other such material objects which by no means
make you better then someone else. I watched as kids franticly
purchased red shore and as blood runs black t-shirts, quickly
slipping them on over own. During the set-up time i heard individuals brag
about how hard they "threw down" and how great the spin kick was
that they unleashed. Through all of this, i came to the conclusion
that a vast majority of the appreciation of the music we so dearly
love had been discarded and tossed away as if it were nothing.
(note: in this case not everyone)
I knew in my heart that i had not been part of this downfall, but we
have all contributed to it in some way shape or form, all of us
who enjoy the distorted sounds of, any type of metal/hardcore.
I couldn't bear the thought, it hit me.
The only way to segregate from the rest, was to be up
there, i would make it, we would make it. If it was the
last thing i would do.
And although my fiery passion for music drives me, a new purpose
adds, i will be up there, i will do what i love for the rest of my life.
This blog will detail the happens around the band im in and, our
quest to make it. Along with this will be some thoughts and ideas
on shows and any happenings that set my interests alight.
I will begin regular posting soon, promote this blog as much as you
can.
Thankyou.

i dig this vibe.
ReplyDeleteits tough, you always balance on a line between being the problem and being the solution. it only makes matters worse to generalise the actions of a few for the mentality of all, your judgement being the same as those who look down on kids in less croosh merch. but at the same time there are kids around who are just in it for the trend, who go home and listen to coldplay and pull out their sick PWD merch when the roundhouse fills up. and its difficult to make the distinction. even scenesters can be nice people and heaps of friends have 'sold out' of hardcore or just been scared off by the fringe kids.
as long as you always follow what you love and do what you think is the right thing for the right reasons then thats all that matters.
love it man, keep it up
