I wasn't going to say anything to this since I love Clare Tiv a lot, but Michelle's one of my best friends. If you knew Michelle, you'd know that she has bucket loads of personality. Scene this, scene that, I don't give a shit. Michelle's into hardcore music and yes, that brings some elements of conformity into one's style. Her boyfriend is entitled to wear whatever it is he chooses to wear, and the fact that Michelle finds this intriguing/attractive/what have you has nothing to do with how 'scene' she is. Heaven forbid she be attracted to her boyfriend's physicality. Michelle listens to all kinds of music, and hardcore is one genre she enjoys. It doesn't matter whether she knows the difference between With Honor and Most Precious Blood [for the record, I think she does]. For me, I like hardcore but I couldn't name every song each band plays at Hellfest. It doesn't fucking matter. You like a band because you like a band. I don't know how having the out of print 7"s from every hardcore band you enjoy became a prerequisite for being part of a scene. Attack Michelle all you want about her personality [by the way, you won't find much to attack her about there], but don't bring in petty things like music to back up your insults. If you're so sick of "fucking conformists," why did you bring in the scene argument in the first place? You don't know Michelle, and as far as I can tell, you have nothing to do with her and Clare's argument, so please stay out of it.
