In my opinion, a great topic for conversation...

So, ive been meaning to put up an entry about this for a while, but havent had the chance up until now. Im a giant procrastinator, and besides that, i just dont have as much time to update this thing anymore ever since Myspace consumed my soul. But basically ive just wanted to vent about today's music scene. But its more than just the music, and the scene. I mean, me saying publicly that all the music these days is 99% garbage wouldnt shock the shit outta anybody. What im really sick of specifically is how in my mind, music has become an image and nothing more. Its not about pure, genuine talent, its about how long your hair is, how many different colors you've incorporated into it, how many peircings you have, how tight your jeans are, and who found the trashiest, oldest, most torn up shirt at the thrift store. If you have long hair, any facial piercings, girl jeans, a pair of Cons, and you play a musical instrument you are fuckin sweet and accepted with open arms into the "scene." Now before i go any further, yes, im fully aware that i had a lip ring, gauges in my ears, thrift store shirts and i played a musical instrument. BUT, i was not THOSE kids. My cock and balls still had room to breathe in every pair of pants that i wore. I was NOT one of those kids. I guess my frusteration comes from my recent change in wardrobe. My old fashion style is gone and im now into a more clean cut, relaxed style. I wear brands such as, yes, Hollister, Express, Lucky, etc...When i started to bring in a new wardrobe i began to think of if i were to ever be in a band again that played shows on the weekend and i were to wear, lets say a Hollister t-shirt while playing my bass guitar....I just dont think i would be "accepted." Much of this theory is based upon assumption, but i think its a good assumption. Not only would i not be accepted, i feel like id probably be put down. Now imagine if i was in the greatest band in the world and for sake of example we'll call it a screamo band since thats the "big time" genre right now. Now if every member of my band wore abercrombie jeans and t's to our shows but we kicked serious fuckin ass, i still just dont think we'd be "as cool" as other bands in the eyes of our listeners. Look at 99% of the bands these days and as i said earlier, theyre trash. BUT, girls still stick their fingers in their vag's every time they see the lead singer, or the drummer, or whoever, because of the image that they present. Its just gay. Im sick of going to Coney fuckin Island on the weekends to get some coffee and seeing guys who have no business having hair as long as they do. Im sick of seeing guys who go through their little sisters closets before they go out to find a pair of pants to wear. Im just fuckin sick of it. I dont know how long i can contain myself. I feel like one of these days im just gonna walk up to em and bitch slap em. This is why i needed to vent on here, cause i figure now that ive vented a little bit, it will give me some extra time before something that extreme happens. Either way, enough rambling, point comes down to I HATE SCENE KIDS. Actually lemme correct that statement....Cause it was a horrible generalization, and i know a few kids who would fall under that category who are very cool guys. So ill say this instead. I hate how the local music scene and even the professional music scene in my opinion has become more focused on image than music itself.

AND FOR FUCKS SAKE, if you dont want hair in your eyes and you dont want to have to constantly have to brush it out of your eyes...THEN CUT YOUR FUCKIN HAIR!!!!!!!!

Who's with me?
