Hardcore, Circa 2003
HARDCORE
You're more than likely at a show to beat people
up. You can be found wearing your trucker hat,
plugs, and lots of tattoos. You either embrace
or hate straight edge. You of coarse hate those
damn emo kids. You're all about unity even
though you hate half the kids that go to shows.
whats my scene?

This caused me to have an epiphany: the hardcore scene is severely fucked up. I always kind of knew it was flawed, but was to naieve to acknowledge that it was fucked.
Although the scene is all for unity (there was even a band called Unity), everyone there is so uptight and self-centred that if you get busted in the face by some motherfucker doing a spin-kick while wearing combat boots (yes, this did happen) and start bleeding, no one will bother to ask if you're alright, let alone help out.
Another thing that the scene was brought up with was having edge. Being straight edge was a HUGE part of the scene in the 80's, which is when the scene got its start. Now-a-days, you'll see kids that get wasted right before a Throwdown show for Christ's sake (Throwdown is VERY straight edge). At least the hardline kids promote beingh straight edge (hardline is being so straight edge that you'll pretty much beat up anyone who isn't).
Gah...
