"scene" keyed in comparison to indie music.
To start, define scene. http://dictionary.reference.com/search?r=2&q=scene As you break down historical references to the term and why it was used, keep in mind that people refuse because "scene" is a fake thing. Unless, of course, it's scenery. Then, it could be surroundings, backgrounds, decifer what you wish. To "be fake" in the modern world is to be real without sensibility of real consequences. We're often fooled, as a society, to believe that what we say, see and hear may never really affect us in the long wrong. I say that's false and quickly let the figment leave your brain and go on to the next feast. Everything in precise detail has a counteraction. Why is this being said? There's a formal in the Detroit area on thursdays at a club downtown. The surroundings are often coimparible to a drawn out fraternity party. Everyone is well dressed and ready to make it a night. It's a fun social gathering, with the cost of a selected few minors and definitely alot of alcohol. To witness this celebration is to witness the arguments, faults, and collaboration of friendship, relationship, heart mending and heart breaking. Everyone has a commonality at this bash of delight. Music taste. In general, all those who attend this club on thursdays are more into what doesn't have a calling for the musically illiterate (not to say that most of these people couldn't call on a music note if their life depended on it). This has been what the "scene" in Detroit has been all about. I don't bring this up in heist, or maybe I do. But, the term itself says that I don't grasp a real life idea, that I can't assume that everything has consequences. Fair enough, your scene and proud. Give me a tune and I'll write it for you. Hand me a poem and i'll structure it too. What is the big deal about the musical integrity of social beings growing up. Why is so important to rush there first in line to get a cd that might sell 200 copies total? Why is it so important not to like bands when they succeed? Is it really the industry that brings them down, or is it personal satisfaction? That is all.
